Beginning counters will get great practice with this quick activity. In partners or individually, learners turn over a number card onto their "Count On Two More" game board (included). Then, they count out the correct number of units...

Working in a math center or an "I finished early" work station, young mathematicians will match in sequence pre-set-up rods of unifix cubes to numbers on a number line. To help differentiate tens from ones, use different colors to...

Class members drill and practice counting skills from 1 to 20. They count along with a puppet and when the puppet makes a mistake, they correct it. In pairs, they connect cubes to make a train and count the number used. On the last of...

Who can get to 100 first?! It may be in the hands of chance, but either way kids will have to practice counting and adding along the way. Partners take turns rolling two dice and moving their game pieces that many spaces until one pupils...

Few topics engage young mathematicians as much as learning about money. Through a series of shared readings and hands-on activities, children explore the US currency system, learning how to count money and calculate change as they create...

Images of base ten blocks are used to reinforce counting past 10. Learners will count along, adding units to each 10 as they go from 10 to 30.  Each number is shown on a 100 block, as blocks of 10s and 1s, and in numeric form as tens and...

Build on your learners' confidence in quick addition as they discover strategies to add tens to two-digit numbers. After reviewing counting by 10's, they discuss tactics to add multiples of 10 to other numbers. They visualize how to...

In this unit cube worksheet, students solve 3 different problems that contain various parts to each of them. First, they write as many 3-digit numbers as they can given the numbers 2, 3, 5, and 7. Then, students count how many unit cubes...

In this lower elementary worksheet, students count the unit cubes in vertical addition problems, and write the sum on the blank line. They fill in the line that is labeled with the words, "Answer =. They complete 6 problems.
