Building Blocks

Developing fluency with long division is a big step in the education of young mathematicians. With the support of base ten blocks, learners deepen their understanding of the operation in this elementary math lesson. Although it indicates...

Let's build a castle! Dennis and Cody have big plans, but do they have enough blocks between the two of them to accomplish their goal? A great context that requires students to add and compare mixed numbers. Encourage the use of pictures...

Build young mathematicians' understanding of three-digit numbers with a simple base ten block worksheet. Using their knowledge of the ones, tens, hundreds places, young children must figure out the number represented by each collection...

Take full advantage of your classroom's supply of base ten blocks with this collection of math action cards. From building towers and counting up the value of the blocks to using the blocks to measure the length of objects, these...

A collection of 34 math worksheets will be a great addition to any lesson in your curriculum. Third and fourth graders work on fractions, mean, median, and mode, measurement, and several more skills as building blocks to more advanced...

In this shapes worksheet, 3rd graders look at the 6 figures on the left in each row. Students then look at the shapes on the right, determine and circle which shape cannot be used to build each figure on the left.

In this building numbers instructional activity, learners fill in the table using the base ten and square unit blocks to build numbers. Students write the numbers into the tens and ones block.

Here's a great lesson that uses one of the best manipulatives there is: pattern blocks. Elementary schoolers must fill in a variety of shapes using specific amounts of pattern blocks. This forces them to do some spatial mathematical...

Break out the base ten blocks for this presentation on long division. Looking at two separate examples, step-by-step instructions are provided for dividing two- and three-digit numbers by single-digit divisors. Engage the class by...

In this building blocks worksheet, students participate in utilizing any three of the four blocks given to create true mathematical sentences. Students also interact with a variety of grids as well.
