Don't harbor any negative feelings toward negative numbers. Scholars learn about different classifications of rational numbers, including negative integers. They also develop definitions of the opposite and the absolute value of a...

Budding mathematicians identify growing patterns in numbers and songs then create their own patterns. They look at number patterns and language patterns and then create their own using money and footprints.

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...

Ready, set, go! Individuals practice converting rational numbers between fractions, decimals, and percents. A speed game has teams match the three forms of rational numbers on a number line.

Before one can play a game involving counting or adding the dots of a pair of die, one needs to understand what each side of the die represents. This page contains printable flash cards intended to help autistic learners recognize that...

Developing writers and mathematicians can practice writing their numbers six through ten, in a simple chart-format worksheet. Children can be instructed to trace the given number, write the number two more times, and draw a visual...

Show the class the differences between thirds and fifths. Each slide provides visual information describing what the part whole relationship is for fractions involving thirds and fifths. The last slide encouages learners to identify...

Kindergarteners use worms, puppets or other props to practice counting to 100. First, they listen to a read aloud of Count Worms by Roger Hargeaves. A worm pattern is used to count to 100, with each segment of the worm...

A worksheet with four fraction circles which could be used for a plethora of activities. One circle represents a whole, the others are halves, thirds, and fourths. The possibilities are as many as you can think of.

In this addition facts activity, students fill in the missing numbers to the number sentences that are represented by cubes and solve the problem. Students solve 6 problems.

What is 1/4 of 36? The class will work through six examples and 4 problems to better understand the relationship between fraction and quantity. The first six example show how a whole is broken into equal parts and is represented as a...

Learners are designing a stunning new water feature for an aquarium, but they soon discover that more than just a pretty home for their fishy friends is required.  From calculating the volume of a composite shape through the...

Love this! Kids play to practice determining which fraction is larger. Each set of fractions are represented in numeric form as well as how they appear on a fraction circle. This is a great way to show learners the differences between...
