Help your young mathematicians master three-digit place value with a hands-on activity that builds on their social orientation. They create a place value house from construction paper and sort "number friends" according to which house...

Third graders use strips of paper to find equivalent fractions. They will fold paper into thirds and shade 2/3 of the paper. Then fold the same paper in six parts and predict how many parts will be shaded. They will repeat again folding...

Photocopy these coloful disks onto cardstock, laminate, and then cut out to use as manipulatives when teaching your class about wholes, halves, thirds, and fourths. It is always so helpful to practice math concepts with hands-on...

Math whizzes use the area probability applet to manipulate the size of the circle and the rectangle to explore the probability that a point in the rectangle is also in the circle.

Add and subtract fractions with common denominators! For this fractions lesson, upper graders review what they already know about fractions, use manipulatives to compare fractions, and add and subtract fractions.

Science equipment can be handy for math class, too. Scholars learn to solve one- and two-step linear equations by using the concept of a balance. They solve real-world problems in a variety of contexts by writing and solving linear...

Students explore how to represent numbers using cubes and draw them accordingly. They discuss place value and the base ten number system using manipulatives. Students roll a dice and take that many blocks. They write down their resulting...

Second graders identify and name fractional parts through the use of mud pie manipulatives. In this fractional manipulatives lesson, 2nd graders identify and label halves, thirds, fourths, sixths, eighths, and tenths and order them...

Fourth graders use manipulatives to practice math patterns.
