First graders complete a number of activities that increase their number sense and use of simple operations. They use dice and worksheets to make two-digit numbers and to record them, they count by tens and ones, and order numbers using...

Reinforce number sense with a collection of math lessons for kindergarteners through fifth graders. Young mathematicians take part in hands-on activities, learning games, and complete skills-based worksheets to enhance proficiency...

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...

Students identify the relationship between ones and tens in place value. They use place value mats and straws to identify tens and ones and group the ones to represent tens. After writing and discussing the numbers 10 and 20 they...

Young mathematicians concentrate on learning to fluently count. Following the rules of the classic game Memory, children take turns flipping over cards in order to find pairs of numbers that cross a decade (e.g. 29 and 30). For younger...

Help young mathematicians see the value in addition and subtraction. Offering one addition and one subtraction problem, this worksheet walks students step-by-step through the solutions of each, starting in the ones place and working...

Using a 100s chart or a number line with a pointer, work with your class to count up to 100 by ones and tens. As a part of daily instruction, prompt your kindergartners to chant count from 1 to 30. Move on to 1 to 50, and then from 1 to...

Humans have been developing number systems for thousands of years, and while they can be very different from one another, they can also share surprising similarities. Take your young mathematicians on a journey through the history...

Students generate a list of numbers then classify them into groups of single digit and double-digit numbers. After listening to a children's book about double-digit addition, they work with tens and ones blocks to solve double-digit...

Students practice skip counting strategies, estimation, and higher number addition. They estimate the number of seeds in bell pepper, and count seeds in groups of tens and ones after the teacher removes seeds from the pepper.

Five days of lessons develop number sense and counting patterns, including odd and even numbers, 5s and 10s, doubles, and ways to make 10. Each session opens with fun finger play to reinforce counting and reasoning about numbers. Various...

Second graders build number sense in an activity that requires the matching of base 10 representations to numbers. It is the teachers responsibility to gauge student understanding and involvement while class members work in groups.

Students compare and order greater numbers. In this place value lesson, students use a place-value chart to identify which set of numbers has the greatest value.

Students use popsicle sticks to represent place value. They practice grouping the popsicle sticks in groups of tens and ones to represent numbers given by the teacher.

Students explore regrouping. In this hands-on math place value lesson, students construct models using connecting cubes and place value mats to solve simple addition problems that require regrouping.

Come take a ride on the space bus! Scholars go on an imaginary trip to pick up their peers from the inner and outer planets while reinforcing math skills. First, learners round decimals to identify each planets' distance from Earth....

Fourth graders play a game. In this place value lesson, 4th graders learn the place value of numbers and how to read them. Students work in groups to play a game to practice their place value skills. Students can also use the Internet to...

Students explore expanded, standard, and written forms of numbers. In this number sense lesson plan, students examine the various ways of writing numbers as they complete a Venn diagram activity.

Groups explore sets of 10 items in two varieties (i.e. 3 white buttons and 7 black ones, or 5 bears and 5 bunnies). They brainstorm about their objects, write math sentences to represent what they have, and report their discoveries...
