Dividing by 10 and multiplying by 10 is an integral skill for young scholars as they learn base-10 multiplication and division. First, they match five products to their equivalent equations, all of which include 10 as a factor. Next,...

Which symbol goes here? Mathematicians often get confused between division and multiplication, so drill these skills with them. They examine 48 number sentences without a symbol, writing either the multiplication or division operation...

Keep addition drills interesting by varying the exercises. There are four separate sections here for youngsters to solidify their understanding of adding three-digit addends. First, they calculate eight vertically aligned equations,...

Choose the symbol; mathematicians can get confused between division and multiplication, so drill these skills with them. They examine 54 number sentences without a symbol, writing either the multiplication or division operation into the...

Complete these fact families; mathematicians use addition number sentences to write three more equations, all of which are members of the same fact family. There is an example here to guide them, and they solve for nine more number...

Who doesn't like playing with a parachute? Get out the CD player, find "Behind the Clouds" by Brad Paisley, and get those youngsters  moving. The movements in this dance are very basic: slide steps, walking, shaking, swaying, and...

Use a vocabulary chart to introduce math functions. The class defines a list of mathematical vocabulary terms on a worksheet, as well as completes equations and expressions. They examine word problems and practice transcribing them into...

Vary the exercises to keep learners engaged in division drills. Here they complete three different sections to solidify this skill in distinct contexts. First, scholars solve 16 horizontally aligned equations, most of which have...

As scholars become more confident with their multiplication facts, give them some two-digit practice problems to solidify their skills. They solve 30 vertically-aligned problems, regrouping where necessary. All of these have one 2-digit...

Computers are useful for more than just surfing the Internet. Pupils first investigate scatter plots and estimate correlation coefficients. Next, they use Microsoft Excel to create scatter plots and determine correlation...

Study the chemistry of mining! Through nine lessons in the unit, learners explore different concepts related to mining. Their study ranges from rock and mineral analysis to the environmental impact of dynamite and the chemical reaction...

Who wants to go fast? The answer? Your sixth-grade science superstars! The complete resource offers the ultimate, all-inclusive playbook for mastering the important concepts of speed versus time; distance versus time; and how...

Add them up! Scholars add up double-digit addends to find sums for 32 equations. There are three examples learners can reference if needed, and they have to regroup for many of these. The equations aren't numbered, so consider doing this...

Help kids visualize subtraction by assigning these sets of objects for them to subtract. They examine an example before completing the seven equations on their own. For each, learners cross out the subtrahend value and count the...

When multiplying two-digit numbers by one-digit numbers, use a guided set of problems like this one. There are three examples for young mathematicians to reference, and they solve 20 equations. They are required to regroup for some....

A rational number is a ratio of two integers. Discuss with your class how to convert the rational numbers of repeating decimals to fractions. A good commentary on letting x equal the repeating decimal and multiplying each side of...

Which decimal is greater? Learners start by comparing eight pairs of decimals, writing in the symbol (> or <) to indicate values. The next two sections involve sets of three decimals. They start by circling the decimal with the...

As mathematicians begin learning long division skills, use these guided problems to help get them some practice with remainders. There are 20 equations here, and each has been completed up to the point of finding a quotient. So, the...

Encourage young scholars to tap into their inner math-whiz as they add three and four-addend equations. The first 36 problems each have three addends (none over two-digit), and are written horizontally. Next, they complete eight more...

Prepare your second graders for word problems with a straightforward review instructional activity. Use it after a unit on addition and subtraction up to 100, or after you have worked on money math. A sample word problem prompts young...

This resource is part of a series which expects participants to be familiar with graphing inequalities on a number line. It is a word problem that asks your class to graph a discrete solution set and interpret it in the context of an...

Explore the difference between stochastic and deterministic modeling through programming. First have the class write algorithms for relatively simple tasks using pseudocode. Use the Python 2.7 program app to simulate Mendel's Pea Pod...

These dinosaurs act like math machines as scholars practice their division skills. Each one has a given division function to apply to four incoming dividends. Pupils complete the equations, writing in the quotient for each. There...

Through estimating, scholars are able to make these word problems simpler as they multiply to find approximate answers. Using an example as guidance, they solve five scenarios, each of which has space for learners to show their work. The...
