This activity gives students practice counting for meaning.
This activity is played in pairs and gives students practice reading numbers out loud and tracing them.
Students learn the connection between the counting sequence and experience from their daily lives in this daily activity. It also helps give students a sense of how "many" each number is.
This game game supports students in counting forward and can be adjusted to support backward counting.
This task acts as a bridge between understanding place value and using strategies based on place value for addition and subtraction.
In this ordering task each number has at most 3 digits so that students have the opportunity to think about how digit placement affects the size of the number.
In this task students must place 4-digit numbers into order from smallest to greatest and greatest to smallest.
The purpose of this task is to extend students' understanding of fraction comparison.
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 challenging problem and brainteaser gives students an opportunity to compose and decompose polygons to make rectangles.
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.
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.
The goal of this task is to look for structure and identify patterns and then try to find the mathematical explanation for this. This problem examines the ''checkerboard'' pattern of even and odd numbers in a single digit multiplication table.
This task provides a context where it is appropriate for students to subtract fractions with a common denominator; it could be used for either assessment or instructional purposes.
This word problem requires students to use addition and subtraction and think about money.
These word problems represent the "Add To" contexts for addition and subtraction.
The purpose of this task is for students to select 2 numbers from a set of 3 that sum to 9. The task can be completed for sums equaling any number. Teachers may choose to ask students to write the simple equations they select.
This is a choral counting activity that can be easily adjusted as students learn higher numbers.
