Create a class of mathematics master. They practice addition to ten until they have mastered the skill. They use their hands to add numbers and eventually find the missing addend to make a sum of 10. They also subtract a single digit...

Young mathematicians research and discuss real world math word problems and ways in which they apply math concepts in their everyday lives. They create a storyboard of a math word problem from which they create a slide for a multi-media...

In this power up addition worksheet, 2nd graders use the numbers from 2 to 12 to fill in the missing addends for 10 addition problems.

In this missing addends worksheet, students fill in the missing sums and addends in the addition questions. Students solve 20 problems.

Second graders find missing addends by solving math word problems. In this missing addend lesson, 2nd graders work in a whole group setting to find the missing addends in word problems before using the strategies to work independently....

Groups explore sets of 10 items in two varieties (i.e. 3 white buttons and 7 black ones, or 5 bears and 5 bunnies). They brainstorm about their objects, write math sentences to represent what they have, and report their discoveries...

Students solve single variable equations. In this missing addend lesson, students solve problems with missing addends. Students create a function box to help study numerical reasoning.

Practice basic operations for young mathematicians in fun ways! Using two decks of cards (Ace through 10 plus the joker), learners play "memory" by matching numbers that can be added to make 10 and writing number sentences. In another...

First graders count bears to predict missing addends. They analyze the missing addend sentence: 7 + ? = 10 and count up from 7 to 10 and check to see if there are 3 bears in the box.

Animals on Board! Stuart J. Murphy introduces scholars to composed numbers in preparation for writing and drawing true or false number sentences. A game of Bear in the Cave challenges pupils to locate a missing addend. Sorting...

Second graders participate in Math-Eze activities to comprehend word problems. In this word problem lesson, 2nd graders recognize why a hexagon is the best shape for a beehive. Students calculate how far bees must travel to find 2 lbs....

Second graders have an opportunity to work in pairs as they search for the missing addend to complete a mathematical sentence. They identify and demonstrate the ability to change the order of the addends and still produce the same sum....

Students are able to use the Fishing for Numbers game in Reader Rabbit's Math. They are able to select two addends that sum to the given number between 1 and 12. Students work in pairs and go to the computer stations and complete at...

Students explore solving addition and subtraction problems. They solve real life problems. Students participate in a simulation activity to find the missing addend. They demonstrate adding and subtracting whole numbers.

Second graders explore number values by completing number sentences. In this math functions lesson, 2nd graders identify whole numbers by using a visual aide and practice filling in the blank in number sentences. Students utilize their...

Students assess informal methods to solve real-world problems that utilize simple equations that involve one variable. They incorporate concrete objects to assist them in the solving of a variety of equations. The students are actively...

Third graders observe and demonstrate a variety of problems involving subtraction problems using mental math strategies. They discuss the base ten system and the basic concept of subtraction, and complete a variety of activities...

In this math worksheet, students will work with a coach to find the average of three bowling scores. Students will follow a step-by-step process and notes are provided for the coach.

Students practice solving very basic number sentences and recording their answers on a worksheet. Individually, they use different manipulatives to represent the sentence they solved. They also explain what steps were taken to solve...

Students investigate patterns in the Food Pyramid.  In this patterns in the Food Pyramid lesson, students sort food into different food groups.  Students make patterns with food from different food groups.  Students...

Help your young mathematicians completely master 10 by practicing one-to-one correspondence, number recognition, and recording numbers displayed. They make 10 with groups of two-different colored cubes and color in 10-frames to show how...

Students solve integers using addition. In this algebra lesson, students add integers using counters. They define and label patterns created by integer operations.

Mini mathematicians use magnets to complete subtraction sentences. They choose a number of objects with the magnet and subtract the number from the total objects.  Have them create number sentences as they fish for magnets. 

Fourth graders develop strategies for identifying geometric and number patterns. In this mathematical patterns lesson, 4th graders use pattern blocks to make repeating patterns with numbers and shapes. Students then explore number...
