Kids can count to 100 by 2's, 5's, and 10's, it's called counting by grouping. They are presented with a variety of counting tasks, they count each set of objects by 10's, 2's and 5's then discuss which method was quickest. A challenge...

A math model is a good model. A slide show presents 10 sample items on modeling and data analysis. Items from Smarter Balanced illustrate different ways that Claim 4 may be assessed on the 8th grade math assessment. The presentation is...

Three simple slides show the relationship between division and multiplication. Items are grouped into equal sets based on the division problem presented, then related to repeated addition and multiplication.

It's not just a slideshow, it's a lesson on mass. First, learners complete a mental math warm-up, where they determine the number before and after a series of given numbers, then they form groups to weigh packages and compare mass....

Trigger an increased understanding of trigonometry. Young mathematicians answer a set of questions that require finding trigonometric ratios using similarity and solving real-world problems involving trigonometry. The questions all come...

Pupils rewrite expressions in equivalent forms to identify key features. They use the vertex and factored forms of quadratic expressions to identify the extrema and intercepts. To finish the installment of the Claim 1 Item Slide Show...

Good graphs make solving systems simpler. Pupils answer 18 questions shown in a PowerPoint presentation as part of the Claim 1 Item Slide Show series. By considering these questions, they review the concepts of graphing equations and...

How do you know if your pupils have a deep understanding of proportional relationships? Assessment is key! A helpful series starts with questions on proportional relationships modeled after the Smarter Balanced Assessment items....

Are you looking for review questions before standardized testing? Grade 6 Claim 1 Item Slide Show offers nine questions covering a variety of topics using decimals, factors, and multiples. With separate slides for answers, using the...

To solve or not to solve that is the problem. A slide presentation of 17 items show different ways that Smarter Balanced assesses Claim 2, problem solving. The items span from sixth and seventh grade concepts to highlight the...

Take your class on a field trip to Fractalland where they'll learn all about number and shape patterns. Based on Disney's movie Alice in Wonderland, this resource takes young mathematicians on an adventure as they explore patterns in...

Owl shares her worms with her best mates Fluffy and Bill. As worms are distributed to the two of them learners will see that when there is one left over the number is odd and when they have the same amount the number is even. This is a...

A cute zoo theme sets the tone for a problem-solving activity which primes early learners for division. They separate zoo animals into equal groups and then write an equation that expresses the action. 

Ten-frames are great visual tools that support the development of number sense in young mathematicians. A multitude of ten-frames are included in this slide show that provide learners with practice with quickly and fluently identifying...

Don't leave learning to chance! Assess your class's understanding of random sampling and making inferences using questions from the experts at Smarter Balanced. As the seventh of nine parts in the Gr. 7 Claim 1 Item Slide Shows...

Ordered pairs, the x and y-axis - sounds like it's time to introduce learners to the plotting points on a graph! This presentation is great as it introduces the concept, provides an example of how to use a coordinate plane, and then...

Count the animals in each group and add to make the number 10. This slide show provides learners with the opportunity to see how many different way they can count on to make 10. Cute animals and large exciting number make this a great...

While the first slide doesn't make much sense, the rest of the show is great. Kids are introduced to repeated addition as multiplication. They see images of equal groups of objects, each group is represented numerically by an addition...

Count along as a class! Each slide contains a number and objects to count, 1-20. The images are fun and as they reach 10+ are grouped by ones and tens. This resource could be used in a variety of ways, is well put together, and has fun...

Brilliant! This presentation helps kids discover all the different way they can make 10. Each slide contains 10 balls, as the kids count, each ball blinks, and the number appears under them to show how many. A plus sign pops up and the...

A straight edge, a right angle, a number of vertices; sounds like it's time to classify polygons. That's right you and your class will learn all about the properties of polygons and how to classify them with this easy to follow...

Review or introduce your younger learners to simple fractions. They work through fifteen different problems, where the shaded amount must be identified as a fraction. For each problem an answer is included on the following slide. Tip:...

Fractions are scary for a lot of young mathematicians. This cute presentation tries to take the "scary" out of fractions. The basics are covered: the numerator, the denominator, and the fact that a fraction is a representation of a part...

Each slide contains a group of animals and an equation that adds up to 10. However each equation is missing a number, learners attempt to determine the missing addend to revile the number of animals hiding under the cloud. A fun,...
