Sometimes dealing with decimals is so much easier than dealing with fractions. The ninth lesson in a 21-part module has the class consider situations when it might be easier to add or subtract fractions by first converting to...

Integers can be challenging, but this presentation makes teaching integers a whole lot easier! Comprehensive information, a song, chant, and pop quizzes provide an in-depth look into what integers are, and how to add, subtract, and graph...

Being able to recognize number bonds that make 10 is a great way to help learners add 3 digits together. First they make 10 by adding two numbers together, then they assess 3 digit addition sentences, where they make 10 first then add-on...

Make addition visual in order to help beginners understand the concept. They add up beads on a string, examining an example before trying it on their own. Learners fill in addends and sums for these, and sometimes both....

Skip count along the mushrooms to complete these number sentences which give young scholars an introductory look at addition and subtraction. Starting from five double-digit numbers, they subtract or add by threes, fours, and fives to...

A seven-question assessment determines how well your learners understand the procedures to add, subtract, multiply, and divide signed rational numbers. Pupils show their understanding through problem-solving situations. 

Is it possible to add infinitely long decimals? As pupils complete the examples in the ninth lesson of this 25-part series, they determine that adding these decimals cannot be done without error. Their task is then to determine the size...

Squares can be magic. Pupils use their knowledge of addition of positive and negative rational numbers to create a 3 X 3 magic square where the sums are 1. Scholars create addition and multiplication expressions with a set of rational...

Maintain a positive atmosphere in your math class with this fun instructional activity on adding and subtracting integers. After first explaining the rules for combining positive and negative numbers, this resource uses a...

The sun shines, flowers bloom, and bugs fly—it must be Spring! Add a cheerful theme of bugs and flowers to math and literacy centers. Scholars take part in an assortment of activities designed to reinforce concepts such as...

An interactive challenges mathematicians to add mixed fractions with unlike denominators. Five questions—fill-in-the-blank and multiple-choice—build from one to the next leading the way to an open discussion about denominators and...

Adding decimals can be simple; show scholars the practical uses of adding numbers with decimals as they add measurements and amounts of money. The first eight equations are written vertically with some sums requiring a dollar sign, some...

You can't evaluate an irrational root expression without a calculator—or can you? Scholars estimate the value of roots within an expression to approximate the value of the expression. Expressions include a mix of square roots and whole...

Explore the practical uses of adding numbers with decimals as scholars add measurements and money. The first 12 equations are written vertically with half the sums requiring a dollar sign and half a unit of measurement. The next six are...

How many ways can you make 10? Class members tackle three problems to find all possible ways three numbers add to be 10. The first is with positive integers, secondly with non-negative integers, and finally with real numbers. Pupils also...

Early learners rotate to different classroom centers and participate in six activities based on using marshmallows to review concepts learned. They make: marshmallow sculptures (geometric shapes), the shape of mittens using colored...

How many will there be if we add four more? Scholars examine sets of sports balls, drawing four more and totaling them. Sums in these four problems don't exceed 10, and the numbers 0-10 are written below for learners to reference as they...
