First graders use place value to practice counting, adding and subtracting using a phenomenological approach.

Pupils count back with cubes to model subtraction problems. In this subtraction lesson plan, students compare sets of problems and record their results in a table.

Have your young mathematicians learned to count to one hundred? Do they know their groups of tens? If so, they might enjoy completing these word problems that have each of their sums end up being a group of ten!

Language learners engage in a series of games and activities designed to help them recognize and name the numbers from ten to twenty.

In this geometry and shapes worksheet, 5th graders practice calculating the shaded area of 2 objects. Students count the squares on 2 grids to find the volume of each object in cube units.

In this place value lesson, students use number cubes to improve their counting skills. Students count the number of squares in each box to study place value for tens and ones. Students complete nine problems.

Show the class how to find the factors of numbers. They use a variety of strategies, including unifix cubes, to find the factors of a whole number. This resource includes clear procedure to follow. Included are an anticipatory set,...

Six story problems needing answers await your class. Pictures provide some scaffolding, but consider also using unit cubes and 10-rods to compose and solve equations for each. Some of the problems require a two-step processes to solve. A...

In this counting by groups worksheet, students practice counting by tens and then by ones. Students count the rows of ten and single cubes and then write how many cubes there are all together.

In this problem solving strategies activity, students solve and complete 14 different word problems that include determining distance and various measurements. First, they determine the order in which girls named finished a race. Then,...

Sixth graders are introduced to the concepts of area and volume. In groups, they work together to build models of square centimeters in which they are given no instructions. To end the activity, they record the dimensions of each model...

Your algebra learners build a quadratic function in this task of counting the blocks used to build objects. The arithmetic sequence that shows up brings up a shortcut to the long addition using the Gauss Method. Eventually, learners...

Finding the volume of a right rectangular prism is the focus of the resource.  Worksheet includes a drawing of a cube to help learners visualize the concept. Young geometers will learn that as the side length increases, so does the...

In this length instructional activity, students estimate how many cubes long items are, then measure, record and compare actual lengths. Houghton Mifflin text is referenced.

In this volume worksheet, learners determine the number of cuboids needed to create a rectangular prism of a particular size. They determine the mass, volume and density of cereal boxes. Students determine the volume of rectangular...

In these shapes worksheets, students identify, trace, and follow the directions to color numbers of plane and space figures. Students complete activities for twelve shapes and figures.

In this adding to seven and eight word problem activity, students use cubes to total numbers. Students solve six word problems.

Young scholars practice collecting and graphing data using interlocking cubes. In this graphing lesson, partners count cubes and graph them. They also use a meter stick to measure arm span and height then compare the results with the...

Students listen to a read aloud of Harriet Ziefert's Bears Odd Bears Even. They count cubes and counters to classify and show numbers as odd or even.

First graders are exposed to addition of three whole numbers in a math activity centered around Eric Carle's, The Very Hungry Caterpillar. As the teacher reads, young mathematicians use counters and ten-frames to symbolize the number of...

Count with ten frames in a first grade addition lesson plan. Kids determine how to identify numbers on a number line, as well as with ten frames, and complete ten frames to show their answers in several addition problems.

Explore the use of non-standard units for measuring volume with elementary learners. They fill a container and count the number used using cups, spoons, and bottles, build with blocks and count the number of blocks used, and compare and...

Break out the balances for this primary grade lesson on weight measurement. Using common elementary school manipulatives like unifix or snap cubes, young mathematicians determine the weight of four different classroom objects. A graphic...

A great hands-on activity involving adding and subtracting, beginner mathematicians determine how many games can be played with 20 tickets. Instead of tickets, youngsters use 20 counters or linking cubes to represent the amount of...
