Mental Math: Breaking Apart to Add

To develop mental math skills for adding 10s, learners read an example, solve one carefully scaffolded problem, and then complete 6 more independently. Pictures of 10-rods make the connection between sets of 10 and the corresponding...

Captivate your class by having them find the value of their names, different zoo animals, musical instruments, etc.,with a mental math lesson. Using the coding formula listed, children learn to fluently estimate and calculate...

In this addition learning exercise, learners solve ten math problems in which they add a single digit number and a decimal number. Learners solve these problems in their head and write the answers in the boxes. The answers are available...

Using what they know about adding 10s and 100s, learners attempt to mentally solve 18 addition problems. Each problem requires them to think of the nearest 10 or 100, add them together, then add the remaining units.

Encourage young scholars to tap into their inner math-whiz as they add three and four-addend equations. The first 36 problems each have three addends (none over two-digit), and are written horizontally. Next, they complete eight more...

Pupils start from a given number and count forward by 1s, 2s, and 10s. They "make ten" in 4 addition problems, and add or subtract 2 in the rest. Finally, they circle the odd numbers in a list from 1-14.

Don't let the title of this one fool you; scholars skip count only by 10 in this number sequence activity. They fill in missing numbers on a number line to complete each sequence, adding or subtracting 10. There are two addition problems...

Get your mental mathletes in top form with this number sequence worksheet! They must add or subtract 10 from a number to complete these number lines, finding the missing three-digit numeral from a list of answers. Encourage verbal or...

Find the missing digits in these number sequences. Each of the ten has one missing number and scholars must figure out what it is. Here's the pattern: all of these sequences involve counting by 10s. Learners add or subtract 10 to...

Do you add or subtract? It's up to your mathematicians as they fill in the symbol for 16 equations to make them true. The numbers in this section don't exceed 18. Next, learners answer six word problems by determining the missing addend...
