Students investigate numerals by creating visual aides.  In this number sense lesson, students discuss the different types of numerals and how they can be translated into a number or an image.  Students create a children's book...

Students explore numbers 1-100.  In this cross curriculum literacy and numeration instructional activity, students listen to the book More or Less by Stuart J. Murphy. Students play a game with a partner in which they guess the...

Explore fractions using different manipulatives and illustrations. Your class can create a variety of models of fractions and mixed numbers with drawings and manipulatives. They then work to compare fractions, mixed numbers, and whole...

Humans have been developing number systems for thousands of years, and while they can be very different from one another, they can also share surprising similarities. Take your young mathematicians on a journey through the history...

Twelve chapters cover a multitude of math concepts found in the Common Core standards for sixth grade. Each title provides a brief explanation of what you will find inside the chapter—concepts from which you can click on and learn more...

Increase the depth of your class's fractional number sense with this number-ordering activity. Given four fractions, each with different numerators and denominators, young learners are asked to place them in order from smallest to...

Students review numbers, number systems and the number operations through the use of online webpages.

The properties of exponents are all linked together and it is your mathematicians' job to discover and apply those rules. The comprehensive lesson begins with a pre-assessment task to check for prior knowledge and then goes into a...

You've got their attention once candy is the focus of a math worksheet! Learners count by 10 to determine how many candies are in each set, which are all grouped by 10. There is an example and number line to help them, and they write the...

Explore place value through re-writing these two-digit numbers in expanded form. For example, 47 becomes 40 + 7. There is one example to model this, and scholars complete 14 more on their own. Be sure they understand this process as...

Make number concepts fun with this party-themed set of activities aimed at familiarizing young counters with 11 and 12. They begin by tracing each numeral before printing it once on their own. Next, learners count a set of...

Using a Smart Board, or a plain ol' white board or chalkboard, the teacher pulls up a grid and demonstrates how squares and rectangles can be divided up into equal parts. The class will get their own graph paper to draw shapes and divide...

Observe numbers in four different forms. Scholars become more familiar with place value as they match the numbers on the left with those on the right. The twist is that the numbers are shape-shifting! Some are in expanded form, others...

Sixth and seventh graders solve 19 various types of problems related to integers as objects models. They write an integer that corresponds to each letter on a number line and then, arrange the integers from least to greatest. Pupils also...

Learners participate in hands-on activities using a hundreds chart and counting toes and fingers. They discover the patterns that are created when counting by ten. After a lecture/demo, students practice by using a worksheet embedded in...

Students use expanded notation. In this mathematics lesson, students determine the place value of a digit within a whole number. Students use manipulatives, words, and symbols to represent whole numbers.

Students work with counters and math mats to demonstrate number concepts. In this number concept lesson, students use cubes and configuration cards to show more or less than given numbers.
