Popsicle Place Value

Develop young mathematicians' understanding of place value with this hands-on math activity. Working in pairs, learners take turns building two-digit numbers by rolling two ten-sided dice. Base ten blocks are then used to model the...

How many rolls until you get to 100? Young mathematicians will have a blast with this place value game, which has them rolling a die and placing a corresponding number of popsicle sticks in the "ones" column of their mat. Once they get...

Young scholars study addition of one and two digit numbers without regrouping. For this math lesson, students find the sum of addition problems. Place value is presented.

Students add two 1-digit numbers. In this addition lesson, students practice problem solving using games, counters, and addition sentences.  

Students explore subtraction by participating in a role playing activity. In this number sense lesson, students complete practice subtraction questions in class and identify real life situations when subtraction is necessary. Students...

Students play a place value game using popsicle sticks and dice. They investigate units and tens.

Students use various manipulatives and play a game to practice place value and to help them visually see how many "ten" is.

Learners practice estimating by handling items in groups of ten. They visualize how much space 100 items, such as pennies, peas, or beans, will take up after holding 10 of them. Students measure the difference in volume between 10 and...

Learners toss candy and coins using their non-dominant hand while their partners records the results on a probability charts.
