With this blank number cube, you have the flexibility to keep it blank or add markings to meet your lesson's needs. 

Now that geometers know how to solve for square units, can they solve for cubed units? Explore this concept as scholars examine four cubes to solve for volume in each. A detailed example explains this process, but you may consider asking...

The task is simple, but the solution is a little more complex. Learners must find the smallest number that results in a perfect square when multiplied by two and a perfect cube when multiplied by three. The task requires an analysis...

Build on your learners' confidence in quick addition as they discover strategies to add tens to two-digit numbers. After reviewing counting by 10's, they discuss tactics to add multiples of 10 to other numbers. They visualize how to...

Investigate polynomial factoring patterns by finding a connection to volume. As learners build a three-dimensional solid from smaller solids, they convert the visual model to a mathematical expression. Their models represent the sum of...

Students explore regrouping. In this hands-on math place value activity, students construct models using connecting cubes and place value mats to solve simple addition problems that require regrouping.

Explore the joy of math with you little learners! They practice creating math problems with numbers from a fact family using numbers 1-10. They work independently with a set of connecting cubes to aid them in creating number sentences...

Eighth graders calculate surface area of 3-D shapes. In this geometry lesson, 8th graders analyze cubes and prisms by finding their area and surface area. They compare the data of these two shapes.

Manipulatives are always fun for children to use. They use connecting cubes and blocks to solve addition and subtraction word problems with numbers up to 10. They then play a math game and use their cube to create number sentences....

Explore the link between solar energy and cloud cover using real data from NASA from China! Future climatologists analyze and interpret graphs of solar energy on clear and cloudy days using a literacy cube. Investigators draw conclusions...

Explore slope using geometric patterns. Young mathematicians investigate towers built from cubes to develop a linear pattern. They move the data to a coordinate plane to connect the pattern to slopes.

Fill the minds of your young mathematicians. A hands-on activity has learners fill in a rectangular prism with unit cubes to determine its volume. the exercise provides a great hands-on way for learners to connect the activity...

Students work with hundreds place value, create and manipulate three-digit addition problems, and add three-digit numbers.

Print, cut, and fold this pair of large die. Intended for an Autistic or special needs class, these dice include numbers 1-3 and won't add up to more than 6. This is a great way to engage a child socially as well as academically.

When they do, they learn. Using this resource, young mathematicians learn about platonic solids by actually building, touching, and examining the shapes. They connect their observations about the shapes to Euler's formula.

Few topics engage young mathematicians as much as learning about money. Through a series of shared readings and hands-on activities, children explore the US currency system, learning how to count money and calculate change as they create...

Second graders use the program HyperStudio to draw and describe the water cycle. In this science and technology lesson, 2nd graders will first become familiar with the water cycle by exploring books and websites in the classroom. Next,...

Fourth graders compare and order fractions in a fraction game activity. In this fraction game lesson, 4th graders play a game that requires them to add fractions with like denominators and compare fractions. Students create posters where...

Fourth graders play a game to determine the likelihoods of different outcomes when rolling two number cubes. Students play a game to determine the likelihoods of different outcomes when rolling two number cubes.

Students investigate non-standard linear measurement.  In this cross curriculum measurement lesson, students listen to the book Measuring Penny by Loreen Leedy, and identify pages in which non-standard measurement is used. ...

Observe the stages of the water cycle by completing 3 activities. To help understanding of the water cycle your students can observe evaporation, the formation of frost, vapor and water and the process of distillation which is used to...

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...

Count with ten frames in a first grade addition lesson. Kids determine how to identify numbers on a number line, as well as with ten frames, and complete ten frames to show their answers in several addition problems.

Here is a great learning task that focuses on the development of areas in computational fluency including strategies in mental math. Young learners are guided through a list of addition expressions that help them visually understand the...
