Looking at large numbers can intimidate many young mathematicians. Use Zoe's place value machine to help learners understand the meaning behind each digit in a whole number. After learning about the ones, tens, and hundreds places,...

Mia's been practicing for the hundred yard dash and wants to know if she's improving. Help order her race times from greatest to least while learning how to compare numbers using place value. A variety of additional examples are included...

Elementary schoolers use their understanding of place value to develop a strategy for a number game. In this lesson, pupils use place value to play "100 or Bust" and figure out a good winning strategy. These kinds of math games are...

Work on multiplication and division with your fifth graders. They practice multiplying and dividing by 10s and 100s in four sections of problems, all written in varying formats. A great way to reinforce your math lesson!

Mixed numbers made easy! Use a learning exercise on fractions and decimals to help your fourth graders master converting mixed numbers to decimals - and vice versa. They work on mixed numbers and decimals, and then convert three...

Master your multiplication skills with problems that get progressively difficult as pupils go on. After reviewing the example of problems with 10, 100, and 1,00, they work on 42 more problems. Two of the sections provide one multiplier...

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...

How many apples is less than five? Each of these problems has two images, one with quantifiable details and one without (i.e. a tree with apples and an empty tree). Answers will vary as young counters draw objects onto the second image...

Multiplying by 10 is simple, but do your scholars know the trick? They look at four examples; if you haven't learned this yet, see if they notice a pattern in these answers. They multiply 70 numbers by 10. Most are two-digit, but a few...

Once young mathematicians understand how easy it is to multiply and divide by 10, they'll be hooked! They complete four sections of 12 problems each, all involving this skill. First, scholars find the product of various whole numbers...

Which one has the most? Each row has three sets of identical objects, and scholars compare the sets to determine which has the most or the least (they find the most for the first four and the least for the last four). One example is...

Mental mathematicians add and subtract 1, 10, and 100 from sets of numbers. Each set of one, two and three-digit numbers gives scholars a chance to practice their addition and subtraction skills. There are 62 whole numbers in all. What...

Third graders investigate two mathematic scenarios and determine which is correct. They compare adding columns and places (such as the tens place, hundreds place, and so on) and familiarize themselves with how to add larger numbers.

Students work in a group to prepare a poster about a new number system. They research a variety of number systems, create new symbols for their original number system and develop a tutorial for the class.

In this significant figures learning exercise, learners indicate the number of significant figures in given measurements. They also perform calculations of multiplication, division, addition and subtraction and identify the number of...

After reviewing double-digit addition and subtraction up to and from 100, learners are introduced to addition and subtraction up to and from 10,000. A grid is used along side number decomposition to help them solve a word problem...

Teach your class how to mentally solve whole number addition and subtraction problems using compensation from tidy numbers including equal additions. They use appropriate recording techniques and predict the usefulness of strategies for...

Part lesson, part worksheet, this handout walks math minors through the comparison of two decimal numbers. It teaches them the trick of tagging zeroes in to get the numbers to be the same length to better understand place value. A set of...

Children arrange unit cubes, 10-rods, and 100-flats as indicated on the sheet. They write the appropriate digits in place value columns and the whole number on a line. Four practice opportunities plus a single multiple choice test prep...

As an overview of place value involving numbers in the hundreds, this resource would be incredibly beneficial. There are only a few examples, but the graphics make this concept come alive. In a lower grade classroom, this presentation...

Investigate multiplication problem solving strategies by working with base 10 blocks. Learners decompose problems with a Merlin the Magician theme. Multiple resources are provided.

Reinforcing the math terms, "before," "between," and "after," is the focus of this math PowerPoint. Young mathematicians must fill in the missing number in a sequence of numbers shown on each slide. This presentation should provide...

Help young mathematicians see the value in addition and subtraction. Offering one addition and one subtraction problem, this worksheet walks students step-by-step through the solutions of each, starting in the ones place and working...

This extensive and far-reaching collection of worksheets puts a new twist on many basic concepts. Learners use multiplication to trace a path from one point to another, tile a plane by converting between improper and proper fractions,...
