Students participate in an activity to examine numbers. They line up and call out the number on an index card. They place the cards in numerical order as well.

If students don't finish their whole lunch one day, a fraction of it will remain. On a second day, if they don't finish their lunch, another fraction will remain. What is the sum of those fractions?

Sixth graders examine where mathematics came from. In this Math History lesson plan, 6th graders complete various activities to understand mathematical reasoning. Students complete critical thinking questions.

Groups of Kindergarten students count craft sticks in different groups and name how many they have. They complete simple addition to ten with the use of manipulatives.

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.

Kindergarteners practice matching words and symbols by playing an index card activity. They create flash cards numbered 0 to 20 and challenge each other in groups to identify the values of the numbers. Learners utilize beans or buttons...

Students demonstrate whole numbers through one thousand using base ten blocks. They model and describe given numbers using ten blocks.

Finding approximate solutions to word problems allows users to assess the reasonableness of their answers. In a well-paced lesson, the class rounds numbers to estimate the solutions. They explain their thinking and determine if the...

An interesting historical fact about how handcarts benefitted to the Mormon pioneers is the context behind this math lesson. Using given facts and figures regarding the handcart, pupil pairs create math word problems, share them with the...

The class explores even and odd numbers.They discuss the results when even numbers are added and when odd numbers are added together. Then work in pairs to find other odd and even pattern examples.

A unique lesson that's designed for visually impaired early learners, but can be adapted for anyone, is here for you. Pupils use brightly colored foam letters, beads, checkers, and an abacus, in order to gain practice in identifying the...

Give your pupils a grasp of place value in a two-digit number. They see a drawing of counting cubes in a stick of ten, then examine a set of four. Mathematicians determine how many blocks there are by grouping the tens. Ideally, you will...

Learners use estimation to determine the answers to word problems by rounding whole numbers. In this estimation lesson plan, pupils compare and contrast solutions using the best answer.

As they look at 10 groups of shapes, learners compare the A and B columns in this "more or less" worksheet. Each set includes anywhere from zero to nine shapes, and scholars complete a simple comparative sentence by circling either less...

There's an easier way to count! Scholars get practice counting by 5 and 10 in this skip-counting worksheet. There are 10 problems, and for each they observe a set of objects that have been grouped. Learners skip count to get a final...

Upper elementary and middles schoolers discuss and solve real world applications of math. They use formulas for volume and percents to answer real world questions. In the second part of the lesson, groups write and solve word problems....

Here is a division worksheet in which learners read about ways to divide integers and then complete problems including patterns, negative and positive numbers, variables, and more. They complete 47 problems total.

Elementary schoolers determine the attributes of prime and composite numbers. Pupils, working in pairs, participate in an activity in which they use manipulatives to show the rectangles that can be made from square tiles. They practice...

Help your young mathematicians completely master 10 by practicing one-to-one correspondence, number recognition, and recording numbers displayed. They make 10 with groups of two-different colored cubes and color in 10-frames to show how...

As scholars examine place value, these exercises help them incorporate addition and grouping. First, they answer three missing-addend questions, each with 10 as the given addend. Because all of the missing numbers are single-digit, this...

What an easy way to practice counting and comparing numbers! Learners examine four sets of drawings, each with two types of objects pictured. They count each object, writing the number below. Then, they color in the item with fewer...

In whole group practice, children count together and identify how many objects are drawn on butcher paper, increasing the number when they have achieved fluency. In pairs, they count manipulatives. They then copy series of numbers from...

A real-world scenario, Videobusters, a video rental store has just got to get organized. In small groups, the class works on organizing and analyzing data utilizing matrices. They need to use their skills in adding, subtracting and...

Counting is much easier when the objects are arranged in groups of 10! This place-value practice sheet helps young mathematicians grasp ones and tens place value through three exercises. First, they complete three missing addend...
