This learning exercise provides a downloadable template for a seasonal concentration game. Groups of learners match the dots on pumpkin cards. Related printables provide a template for Pumpkin Concentration with number words. Concept...

Youngsters solve division word problems. They will make their own division word problems using objects in equal groups. They share how they solved their problem with the class. Division worksheets are included to support the process....

Learners estimate and determine the number of cents (pennies) that are needed to equal the mass of a variety of common objects. They develop a process for measuring and explore concepts related to units of measurement.

Your statisticians examine the characteristics of conditional probability and the probability of simultaneous independent events. They perform computer activities to find probabilities for simple compound events. They examine the...

Count and compare numbers and fractions using "greater than" and "less than." Learners count on by 2s and 10s and represent the end number with base ten blocks, counters, and cups. They use circle stickers to illustrate fractions and...

Fourth graders solve multiplication word problems. In this multiplication problem solving lesson, 4th graders view an example of how to group objects in a word problem. Students practice solving these word problems with partners and use...

Tiny mathematicians count the number of shapes (up to 8) in pairs of object groups and identify the sets as equal or not equal. Five practice problems. They also draw 2 groups of shapes that are not equal. A focused tool that...

Third graders examine how multiplication is a quicker and neater form of addition and how they can simulate the concept of groups and (sets) to construct the visual effect of multiplication by way of forming groups of (2's) (3's) and (4's).

What figure is formed by connecting the midpoints of the sides of a quadrilateral? The geometry assessment task has class members work through the process of determining the figure inscribed in a quadrilateral. Pupils use geometric...

Students differentiate between the weights of an object on different planets. In this geometry lesson, students investigate different weights and graph their results as it relates to the different planets. They appreciate the design of...

Lower graders sort and group objects by their different properties. They watch a video about sorting then, sort and organize candy in different groups. Students compare how others sorted their candy. Finally, they decide which group has...

Thirty at the party won't cost any more than twenty-five. The assessment task provides a scenario for the cost of a party where the initial fee covers a given number of guests. The class determines the cost for specific numbers of guests...

Students discover how to measure the circumference of objects. In this measurement lesson, students use a pumpkin and a tape measure to estimate and find the circumference of the pumpkin.

Third graders complete a worksheet.  In this fractions lesson, 3rd graders review fraction vocabulary, use the SmartBoard to divide fractions and complete stations where they work with fractional parts of a whole.

Groups of learners create an animation illustrating fractions using common objects. They choose everyday objects that they can divide into fractions. They take pictures of the objects dividing into fractions and create an animation with...

Learners solve multiplication and division problems using Unifix cubes. They explore multiplication and division through equal grouping of objects and sharing. Students discuss the task they completed and share how they completed the...

Third graders read and discuss math story problems and analyze if the story is using equal groups or unequal groups. They listen to the book "12 Ways To Get to 11," and simulate the story using beads on a pipe cleaner. Students then...

Hands-on and real-world applications are great ways to teach mathematical concepts. Creative thinkers examine how ratios are used to create scale models of buildings and structures. They practice working with ratios by looking at a map...

Learners create equal groups of objects. In this math lesson, students create predictions as to how many objects they can get in each equal group. Additionally, learners explore and record findings. 

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...

Children are told that an odd number is one that does not have a partner and an even number is one that has a partner. It's not the way I would explain it, but no matter, the activity and worksheet are still good. Children analyze...
