Students find zero pairs and add integers using zero pairs and a number line. They generalize rules for adding integers. Students complete a matching activity on the Internet that helps them practice adding integers.

Students analyze a set of data. They work in cooperative groups and use chain links to identify the mean, median, and mode of the chain.

Students find zero pairs and add integers using zero pairs and a number line. They generalize rules for adding integers. The class view approximately 10 minutes of video divided into three segments.

Third graders use items which come in sets to look for real-life multiples and write multiplication problems. This lesson assess the student's understanding of the meaning of multiplication using an array model and manipulatives.

Young scholars make sequential patterns by using ants and following the model. They identify different parts of an ant by matching the picture to the word name. Pupils identify the ant's life cycle by creating a chart using pictures.

Second graders become familiar with need strategies for computation of money problems and estimating sums. In this computation lesson, 2nd graders solve real life problems to understand estimation and money problems.

Students are given the opportunity to pracitce math while participating in a tag game. They get to (i.e. identify greater and lesser numbers) and solve small problems concerning mathematical comparisons .
