Learning to break apart numbers into smaller pairs is a critical step young mathematicians take as they develop their number sense. To practice this skill, children are provided with sets of three numbers and are asked to pick the two...

In this finding the sums of three numbers worksheet, students add two-digit, three-digit, and four-digit numbers. Students solve 49 problems.

Learners add one and two digit numbers together with the help of a number line. There are 18 problems to complete.

Count and compare numbers and fractions using "greater than" and "less than." Learners count on by 2s and 10s and represent the end number with base ten blocks, counters, and cups. They use circle stickers to illustrate fractions and...

Examine scenarios involving number patterns. Learners complete a series of activities, including working with Pascal's triangle ando completing chart activities based on different pricing for pizza toppings. An included extension has...

Students explore language arts by reading a classic story. In this oral storytelling lesson plan, students read the book The Three Bears and identify the characters and discuss how their voices would sound. Students practice retelling...

Following an online activity, scholars complete a Grafitti Wall in which small groups write words and phrases on chart paper pertaining to Pilgrims, the Mayflower, and Thanksgiving. Pupils perform a close reading then answer a series of...

To work through the complexity of coordinate geometry pupils make the connection between the coordinate plane and the complex plane as they plot complex numbers in the 11th part of a series of 32. Making the connection between the two...

Track down the Cyberchase episode that this instructional activity is associated with. Using a worksheet that is embedded in the plan, learners must find the next two numbers and shapes (a double pattern). Once these have been...

Scholars investigate the concept of adding positive and negative numbers. They practice adding using the number line for scaffolding. This can be done as a game for younger learners, but may also be helpful for engaging the older pupils.

In this addition of 3 single numbers review worksheet, students use problem solving skills to solve 54 problems that require them to add 3 single digit numbers.

Learners explore adding 2-digit numbers. In this math lesson, students identify 2-digit numbers and use base ten blocks to practice adding. Learners use addition to break a code.

Middle schoolers investigate the mathematical concept of absolute value by counting the number of steps taken in two directions. Using the number line the teacher can note how they can forward and backward without changing the absolute...

Students create addition sentences. They review number lines and how to jump between numbers to solve equations. They play the "Magic Number" game by using a spreadsheet and guessing numbers. They discuss how they found the magic numbers.

Sixth and seventh graders investigate the concept of negative numbers. The lesson begins with a review of positive numbers and progresses to the various operations with negative numbers. The lesson includes dialogue for the teacher to...

In this subtraction and addition worksheet, students fill in missing numbers in problems necessary to arrive at given answers. All problems use 1-digit numbers only.

What's odd? What's even? And what is the pattern? Learners explore addition problems to answer this question, deciding if the answer to each equation is odd or even. They then draw a two-column table to illustrate the outcomes of the...

Students add and subtract integers. In this algebra lesson, students discuss number sense as they sort numbers in the correct order. They analyze and label numbers differentiating between rational and irrational numbers.

Addition and subtraction are studied in this math lesson. Upper graders add and subtract whole numbers up to 1,000 with and without regrouping.

In this math worksheet, students will work with a coach to solve a story problem in which they must add three-digit numbers. Students will follow a step-by-step process and notes are provided for the coach.

Young scholars solve word problems and determine quotients of fractions and mixed numbers. They practice multiplying fractions by increasing a recipe found on a food website. In addition, they increase the numbers to feed the whole class...

Mixed numbers can be added conceptually, algorithmically, and physically. Have the class visualize mixed numbers by adding fraction bars together. They then discover the algorithmic process that simplifies adding mixed numbers. Finally,...

The class practices, on paper and/or on a TI graphing calculator the concepts of how to add, multiply, divide and subtract complex numbers using the correct property.

Fifth graders make the connections using models between multiplying a fraction times a whole number and multiplying a fraction times a fraction. After completing three teacher-led activities, pupils access a website on their own to play...
