Explore place value and regrouping with your class. They develop awareness of several ancient number systems and how they differ from the base ten system commonly used today. They play "Chip Trading" with partners to practice addition...

How can art represent math? Use a lesson on place value collages to illustrate the different meanings that numbers have in their designated places. Kids observe photographs and paintings that show place value, then work on their own.

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.

Students explore the concept of place value with a hand-made odometer. In this math lesson plan, students construct a cardboard odometer with movable paper strips to show increases in mileage to the hundredths place. Students solve story...

Learners identify their beliefs and values and compare how these values relate to those of their community. They then determine how their values affect the roles they play in different situations. A quiz about values and beliefs...

Fifth and sixth graders compare decimals to the place-value structure in the base-ten number system. They represent fractions as parts of unit wholes, as parts of a set, as locations on a number line, and as divisions of whole numbers....

Developing fluency with basic addition and subtraction is fundamental to the success of all young mathematicians. This four-day lesson plan series begins with learners using ten-frames and hundreds charts to recognize patterns when...

Young mathematicians spin their way to a deeper number sense with this fun, collaborative activity. Using two spinners, one with the numbers 0-9 and the other with the decades 00-90, pairs of students take turns building and comparing...

Help your fourth graders make cents out of fractions and decimals with this short word problem. After learning that dimes are one-tenth and pennies one-hundredth of a dollar, students write a fraction and decimal for a given number...

Introduces addition of decimals by using unit notation to represent the problem. Pupils use a place value chart to decompose the numbers and then add before connecting to the standard algorithm. 

Take a little bit away. The 10th section of an 18-part unit introduces subtraction of decimals. Scholars use a place value chart like they did with addition of decimals to organize and represent the problem. After using the place value...

In this place value worksheet, students break a series of 8 3 digit numbers into hundreds, tens and ones. Numbers appear 8 boxes, and students add place values and arrive at given number again.

Learners solve math problems involving subtracting with regrouping. They practice the steps for subtracting in the hundreds place with regrouping, through teacher guided practice. Independently, pupils complete story problems involving...

Students combine movement and practice with place value in this integrated lesson. The teacher calls out a place value (e.g., tens, millions, etc.) and the student throws to the sign with that place value highlighted.

Students increase their cardiovascular endurance through movement. At the same time, they learn place value of numbers to the millionths place.

First graders use place value to practice counting, adding and subtracting using a phenomenological approach.

Third graders are introduced to the concept of place value with place value tents. As a class, they are shown a number which they say outloud and write the number in expanded form. To end the lesson, they practice saying numbers in the...

First graders practice place value by completing problems that allow them to group 10 items together to create groups of 10 and see what is left over. In this place value lesson plan, 1st graders use cups to put 10 items in them, and...

Students use various manipulatives and play a game to practice place value and to help them visually see how many "ten" is.

Need a unique approach to adding and subtracting polynomials? A helpful math lesson plan approaches the concept by relating polynomials to base 10. It encourages pupils to see each term as having a specific value, and...

Students study place value. Students participate in place value and number relay games, write numbers in words, and discuss how numbers are read. As a class, they discuss the meaning of less than and grater than signs. Students use...

Complete problems using base ten blocks to see the difference in the place value of a decimal and how it affects a number's value. Learners compare decimal values as well. Ample time for discussion and modeling are allowed in the...

Students solve math problems.  In this place value lesson, students review place values and learn how to add numbers in specific place values.  Students complete a worksheet independently to show what they have learned.

In this math worksheet, students will work with a coach to solve a story problem in which they must add three-digit numbers. Students will follow a step-by-step process and notes are provided for the coach.
