Young mathematicians concentrate on learning to fluently count. Following the rules of the classic game Memory, children take turns flipping over cards in order to find pairs of numbers that cross a decade (e.g. 29 and 30). For younger...

In this decade learning exercise, students fill in a decade chart and find the totals of each player based on a decade game that is played. Students fill in 3 spots on the chart and answer 3 short answer questions.

As part of an initiative to strengthen our young adults' financial understanding, this problem explores the cost of bread and minimum wage since the 1930s. Learners are asked to find the percent increase from each year and compare it...

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...

How many days are in a leap year? Years in a century? Get your mathematicians applying their skills to everyday life with this calendar math worksheet. Ten questions prompt students to think about various time increments. The math...

In this number sense worksheet, students complete each of 4 word problems using decade numbers. They add or subtract to determine the answer to the problem.

In this number sense instructional activity, students find the missing numbers. Students are to find the missing number or numbers using the rule supplied, or find the rule for the numbers supplied to complete each of the eight charts.

Your youngsters will use number lines to determine how many more the child in each story problem needs.

Take a functional approach to the national debt. Learners collect information about the national debt by decade and plot the data. They determine whether an exponential curve is a good fit for the data by comparing the percent changes...

When will the gender wage gap disappear? Scholars use a provided infographic to see trends in wage gap over time. They use ratios of women's wages to men's wages to determine which decades had the greatest change in the wage gap. The...

Fourth graders study the history of the city of Los Angeles, investigating its variety of cultural traditions. They develop expertise on one specific decade in LA history.
