Using boats along in the Port of Albany as the focus, learners practice adding single-digit numbers and interpreting data. This lesson comes with the worksheets, resource links, and other materials to make it a worthwhile experience.

Engage young mathematicians in developing their basic arithmetic skills with these great hands-on activities. Using Unifix® cubes to model a variety of single digit addition and subtract problems, children build a basic...

Daily routines not only help to manage classrooms, they can also provide students with rich opportunities for learning. This activity supports young learners in developing their number sense by counting up the school days on a class...

First graders are exposed to addition of three whole numbers in a math activity centered around Eric Carle's, The Very Hungry Caterpillar. As the teacher reads, young mathematicians use counters and ten-frames to symbolize the number of...

An addition table supports third graders as they learn strategies to improve their math fluency. When finding sums greater than ten, students are taught how to first make a ten and then add on the rest. A similar method is also...

Here is an interesting "trick" your young mathematicians can perform. They are taught how to find any number's "digital root," by following a set of detailed instructions. The process works for any number, and is the type of math puzzle...

Here is a great problem-solving activity for young mathematicians. Intended solely for instructional purposes, the activity is appropriate for learners to add four numbers together. Not only must they add four numbers together,...

Help young mathematicians refer to simple addition strategies with a set of math posters. The pages feature ways to remember how to add zero to a number, how to determine if a number is odd or even, and making fast tens.

While the idea is great, to help pupils understand shortcuts to solve multiplication and division problems, this lesson doesn't lay out the steps necessary for successful comprehension. There are a few examples to show how to use...
