Students work with rectangles to find generalizations for adding and subtracting odd and even numbers in part one of the lesson. In part two, students use geoboards to construct polygons, look for patterns, and find a general rule.

What's odd? What's even? And what is the pattern? Learners explore addition problems to answer this question, deciding if the answer to each equation is odd or even. They then draw a two-column table to illustrate the outcomes of the...

Some resources are just wonderful for stimulating creative thinking and concept understanding. Children are encouraged to explore odd and even numbers through a variety of creative activities. They group items, read a story, make an...

A short video introduces place value in addition and subtraction. As a class, your students identify all even numbers up to one hundred and explain the pattern. They use addition strategies to fill in the missing numbers on the number grid.

Third graders determine the outcome of each of the following situations and justify their findings: even number + even number = ?, even number + odd number = ?, odd number + odd number = ?, and odd number + even number = ?.

The class explores even and odd numbers.They discuss the results when even numbers are added and when odd numbers are added together. Then work in pairs to find other odd and even pattern examples.

Even or not, here I come. Groups investigate the parity of products and sums of whole numbers in the 17th lesson in a series of 21. Using dots to represent numbers, they develop a pattern for the products of two even numbers; two odd...

Students explore the concept of closure. In this closure lesson, students discuss what it means for something to be closed by using examples of juice and gases. Students add and multiply combinations of even and odd numbers to...

Students integrate locomotor skills and math skills.

Learners work in pairs, and take turns pretending to be a magician. There are a set of instructions for the magician to follow. A penny and a dime are used, and odd and even numbers are employed for multiplying. There is also a nifty...

Learners identify the right number "ingredients" to add to their pot of "soup" given a rule that you provide. Whether you are covering even and odd numbers or equivalent expressions, the number soup can be an easy way for learners...

There are a number of activities here where learners collect and record data, as well as, activities where the likelihood of an event happening is calculated given the experimental probability. Young statisticians organize information...

Students translate problem situations into diagrams, models, and numerals using whole numbers, fractions, mixed numbers, decimals, and percents. They identify that numbers in different forms are equivalent or not equivalent using whole...

Third graders examine how to solve in and out function problems, or mystery numbers. They analyze a variety of mystery number problems together and extend the patterns. Students then independently complete a Mystery Number activity...

Practice doubling with a straightforward worksheet. Learners double plus one each number in the table, and then answer a series of hypothetical math equations.

Students practice the concept of mathematical closure as it relates to even and odd numbers. In this math lesson, students perform 4 different tasks to  understand the number closure concept. Students identify, explain, predict,...

Students perform operations using positive and negative numbers as well as operations with fractions in various forms. They identify common decimals and their fraction equivalents while converting fractions to decimal form.

Fourth graders explore factors of numbers from 1 to 50. They gain practice with basic facts and multi-digit multiplication problems. Students practice the commutative property. They discover the link between multiplication and...

Young scholars play an easy card game that reinforces skill such as: basic number recognition, greater than or less than, and odd or even number.

Students review math facts while interchanging dominant and non-dominant dribbling.

Students access prior knowledge of butterflies.  In this butterfly lesson, students create butterflies and compare and contrast their butterflies. Students describe the various body parts.

Young scholars explore the concept of patterning using musical instruments. For this music lesson, students identify several instruments and practice playing patterns with them. Young scholars identify the patterning in a musical piece.

Learners demonstrate several problem solving techniques. They get through their problem by talking it out using the I message with one another. "Rock, paper, scissors" method is the most popular used by the students to solve a problem....

Students engage in a hopscotch game where each square represents a number. In this mental math and movement instructional activity, students take turns playing traditional hopscotch, but add a mental math component where they add or...
