In this task students compare numbers less than 100 to benchmark numbers and learn to build an understanding of the relative magnitude of numbers.
The purpose of this task is to present students with a situation in which they need to divide a whole number by a unit fraction in order to find a solution.

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to give fourth graders an overview of - hundredths.
This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to give fifth graders an overview of decimal multiplication.
This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach first graders an overview of subtraction (numbers to 100).
This video lecture serves as a review of subtraction up to the number twenty for first graders.
This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach second graders an overview of telling time to 1-minute intervals.
This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach first graders an overview of telling time to quarter and hour.
This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to give fourth graders an overview of - tenths.
The material was written with review in mind, but there is enough detail that it would be useful for new students as well. Each topic includes written introductions, detailed examples, and practice exercises that are fully keyed. In addition, each chapter concludes with additional practice problems – those problems are not keyed, although short answers are provided. Many topics also include videos.
The purpose of this task is to give students the opportunity to use mathematics in real-world applications. In this task, students are introduced to the ongoing problem of affordable housing faced by state and national community builders and city planners. Students are presented with two data tables illustrating cost of housing and wage increases over 20 years. Students discuss questions they can ask and answer using this data. They will calculate the cost increase of housing over time and compare it to wage increase, concluding with a discussion about the comparison. Includes slides to support the implementation of "Housing Our Community (Grades 3-5)" Math Performance Task with charts, images, etc.
The purpose of this Performance task is to provide students with an opportunity to problem solve based on a real-world situation (Claims 2 & 4). Due to the nature of the task, there are a variety of mathematical approaches students can take to successfully complete the task, however the mathematical approach presented in Act Three of the task addresses CCSS Domain of Operation and Algebraic Thinking. With this approach, students are shown different strategies for using multiplication to find the solution. Includes slides to support the implementation of “The Winner Is…Native Plants (3-5)” Math Performance Task with charts, images, etc.
The purpose of this 3 ACT task is to provide students with an opportunity to problem solve based on a real-world situation. In the task, students are presented with 2 facts related to European Green Crabs and asked to generate their own questions that could be answered using one or both facts. Students then decide on necessary resources for finding the solution and are given time as a group to complete their work. The task concludes by having students examine the information provided in Act III to see if it answers their question. Includes slides to support the implementation of "What's the Problem (3-5)" Math Performance Task with charts, images, etc.
The purpose of this task is to give students the opportunity to use mathematics in real-world applications. In this task, students are introduced to the ongoing problem of affordable housing faced by community builders and city and state planners nationwide. Students are presented with a collection of representations of homes and people. Students discuss questions we can ask and answer using this data. They will use strategies to organize information and discover how many more people are there than homes. Includes slides to support the implementation of "Housing Our Community (K-2)" Math Performance Task with charts, images, etc.
The purpose of this performance task is to engage students in looking for and making use of structure in order to determine the number of stink bugs on a given picture. Students review invasive species and the work of scientists to monitor such creatures, students are provided the problem in the context of supporting invasive species specialists. Working as individuals and then as pairs, students determine the total amount using previous knowledge of patterns such as counting, grouping, or fact families. The task concludes by having student-demonstrated strategies modeled and labeled as a whole group creating strategy posters. Includes slides to support the implementation of "Too Many Stink Bugs (K-2)" Math Performance Task with charts, images, etc.
The purpose of this task is for students to find the answer to a question in context that can be represented by fraction multiplication. This task is appropriate for either instruction or assessment depending on how it is used and where students are in their understanding of fraction multiplication.
The purpose of this task is to provide students with a situation in which it is natural for them to divide a unit fraction by a non-zero whole number.
This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach second graders about fractions of a whole.
The point of this task is to emphasize the grouping structure of the base-ten number system, and in particular the crucial fact that 10 tens make 1 hundred.
