Greater Than and Less Than

Be sure to follow the directions carefully. A set of STEM activities for grades two through three and grades four through five assesses technical and procedural problem solving. The majority of the lessons focus on force and motion,...

Develop the problem solving skills of your young learners with this collection of math newsletters. Covering a variety of topics ranging from simple arithmetic and number sense to symmetry and graphing, these worksheets offer a nice...

Build on techies' knowledge of engineering design. A set of STEM lessons for grades one through six provides instructors with suggestions for engineering instruction. The activities require pupils to design and build structures, such as...

As they look at 10 groups of shapes, learners compare the A and B columns in this "more or less" worksheet. Each set includes anywhere from zero to nine shapes, and scholars complete a simple comparative sentence by circling either less...

Mental mathematicians add and subtract 1, 10, and 100 from sets of numbers. Each set of one, two and three-digit numbers gives scholars a chance to practice their addition and subtraction skills. There are 62 whole numbers in all. What...

Need engineering resources? Problem solved! A STEM curriculum resource provides instructors with problem-solving activities. The document has eight parts: (1) electricity, (2) energy, forces, and motion, (3) general problem solving, (4)...

One performance task split into three parts challenges young mathematicians to show what they know about solving problems using addition and subtraction. 

Kids color the pictured groups according to what has more or less. They count the number in each group, then color each group as directed. They then solve a word problem by circling the image showing the answer.

It's so simple: scoop a spoonful of counters, count them, and then make a set that is one more than that number. Next, make a set that is one less. The tangible nature of this basic addition and subtraction activity will keep learners...

Compose and decompose sets of 13 and 14 and compare sets of each with your little learners. They use objects to construct sets of 13 and 14, record their answers, and compare sets in several different ways.
