Kids are challenged to make a human number line. They line up, holding numbers from -10 to 10. They then add and subtract both positive and negative numbers, using themselves as the numbers on the number line. This is a great way to...

Those are some long numbers! Scholars write number-form digits in word form and vice versa. The first eight are six-digit numbers and the next eight are seven-digit numbers. There are two examples to get them started. Remind scholars to...

Number sequences make for great challenges that stimulate pattern recognition, algebraic reasoning, and number sense. This slide-show includes eleven number sequences for learners to work through, an explanation of what number sequences...

Mix things up a little to be improper. The presenter shows three example of changing a mixed number to an equivalent improper fraction. Scholars work several practice problems and application questions to refine the process.

Count and compare numbers and fractions using "greater than" and "less than." Learners count on by 2s and 10s and represent the end number with base ten blocks, counters, and cups. They use circle stickers to illustrate fractions and...

All of these sums are under 100: learners practice with three types of addition problems, each with two equations. First, they add a double-digit and single-digit number. Then, scholars add two double-digit numbers, one being a multiple...

Examine scenarios involving number patterns. Learners complete a series of activities, including working with Pascal's triangle ando completing chart activities based on different pricing for pizza toppings. An included extension has...

Shoot and score with three basketball-themed lessons about decimals. Young mathematicians compare game statistics, make trash can hoops, and play a data spinner game to practice identifying digits and values within decimal numbers.

Your first and second math class will develop a higher understanding of addition after using the number line. Word problems are provided, and learners use the number line to illustrate and solve each problem. For advanced learners,...

These math puzzles are sure to get your first and second graders thinking. Nine word problems about odds and evens, as well as greater than and less than, keep learners guessing. If you're working on mental math in your class, use these...

Have crumpets with the queen! Kindergartners count the number of crumpets on each plate - all add up to six - and write the correct number in the space provided. They then copy a dominoes pattern for different ways to add up to six, and...

Time is on your side. Scholars plot three points on number lines with different time units to represent the time it takes three people to bake pies. They determine the fastest baker and the difference in times between the bakers.

Each slide contains a group of animals and an equation that adds up to 10. However each equation is missing a number, learners attempt to determine the missing addend to revile the number of animals hiding under the cloud. A fun,...

This is a great math station partner game! Using the provided ten-frame cards, learners practice creating addition problems with a sum of 5. Each card has a number between 0 and 5, and pairs shuffle and lay out five of them. They take...

Learners complete two double-digit problems, one addition and the other subtraction. They also determine the missing addend in two additional problems. An explanation as to how to solve both problems is included. 

Students explore language arts by reading a classic story. In this oral storytelling lesson, students read the book The Three Bears and identify the characters and discuss how their voices would sound. Students practice retelling the...

Hang out at the beach and listen to some relaxing tunes, all while developing basic math skills. An endless source of fun and learning for young children!

Mix things things up in your elementary math class with a series of problem-solving exercises. Presented with a series of mixed number word problems, young mathematicians are asked to solve them by using either visual fraction...

Okay, so your scholars are excelling at two-addend addition problems, but what about three or four? Here are some practice problems to stretch their math skills. They find the sums of six equations: two with two addends, two with three...

Although graphing a linear inequality on the plane is but a few steps added onto the graphing of a linear equation, for many learners the logical leap is quite intimidating. This approachable PowerPoint presentation breaks graphing...

Following an online activity, scholars complete a Grafitti Wall in which small groups write words and phrases on chart paper pertaining to Pilgrims, the Mayflower, and Thanksgiving. Pupils perform a close reading then answer a series of...

In this mixed number addition learning exercise, students add the whole numbers and then the fractions in the mixed number equations. Students then reduce the fraction to solve the 14 problems.

Solve these true equations; scholars examine three-digit addends, subtrahends, and minuends in these equations that are each missing one number. There is a list of possible answers to choose from, so decide whether or not you want to...

Here are two addition-related exercises. However, bear in mind, the explanations are featured below each of them. Use this as an all-class warm up, revealing the explanations if and when you see fit. First, examine the four sets of...
