Napier Rods

This unit on fractions allows for upper-aged elementary learners to explore ways to find the greatest common factor and least common multiple of two numbers. Ultimately, young mathematicians will be able to identify equivalent fractions,...

Learners explore regrouping while subtracting. In this subtraction lesson, pupils manipulate base 10 blocks to demonstrate regrouping. Multiple resources are provided.

Students explore graphing. In this graphing activity, students sort Skittles candies and use the color groups to create a bar graph. Rubrics and extension activities are provided.

Young mathematicians explore the concept of multiplication using Napier's Rods. They use Popsicle sticks to create a 3D model of Napier's Rods. Pupils multiply multiple digit numbers using Napier's Rods.

Students use Cuisenaire rods to explore common denominators. In this fractions lesson, students build Cuisenaire representations of fractions, then find their equivalent counterparts to find the common denominator.
