Finding patterns is an essential skill for mathematicians of all ages. Follow along with Zoe as she walks step-by-step through the process of identifying and completing number patterns. Work through the Try It! problems as a whole class...

Teaching expanded notation is a great way to enhance young mathematicians' understanding of place value. This presentation explicitly describes the process, starting with the largest place value and working down, from left to right,...

Solving equations in two variables can't be that much harder than solving equations in one variable. Using a balance interactive, scholars solve equations in two variables. They apply inverse operations by adding -x, -y, or -1 as...

Expand on prior knowledge of place value to teach your class how to round whole numbers. This essential skill is explained with the help of a number line before introducing the explicit rules for rounding numbers up and down. Work...

Pupils roll a die to figure out which car advances on a race track. They determine the rules for each car moving forward and, given the statistics of the winner, compare if it matches their predictions.

Find the box with two green balls. The applet uses six balls, three green and three red, and hides them in three boxes. Pupils choose a box and click on it to reveal the color of balls inside. Using the chosen box, the simulation keeps...

There is a scallop that relies on sight so much that it actually has more than 100 eyes! There are many species that rely heavily on one sense or another. An online interactive resource has youth read about several of these animals. The...

In this customized handwriting:  number 7 instructional activity, 1st graders change style, font and text, then print the instructional activity to practice printing and color the picture.

In this number partner learning exercise, students color shapes in sets with two colors to show the partners of each number, 7 sets in all.

There's nothing improper in learning about fractions. Scholars apply an interactive to explore models for proper and improper fractions. They then answer a set of questions in a game that requires building models for given fractions and...

Rate the resource as a perfect 10. Pupils use an interactive to help add and subtract numbers. They first explore how to express whole numbers using hundreds, tens, and ones, then explore how to add whole numbers by combining to make...

Looking for a quick way to supercharge your electricity and magnetism unit? Assign a very responsive interactive designed to illustrate the relationship between charge, electric field, and the resulting forces. Learners experiment with...

In this negative two activity, learners determine the value of negative two when raised to a given power. This one-page interactive activity contains 5 self-checking problems. This page may be produced in printed form.

Time to crunch the numbers! Young scholars use an interactive number cruncher to practice operations with whole numbers. They input a number and watch as the number cruncher produces the output and then use the data pairs to determine a...

Spin into a dicey experiment. Pupils use a spinner or a pair of dice to determine the experimental probabilities of each outcome. The interactive allows for either, one, five, or ten consecutive experiments. Using the applet, learners...

What makes fractions equivalent? Learners first use an interactive that shows equivalent fractions with fraction models and number lines. They then play a game where they must match sets of equivalent fractions with different denominators.

Use this least common multiple learning exercise to have your learners complete two mutliple choice questions containing one and two-digit numbers. Answers are provided online.

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,...

If your pupils think relative velocity is the velocity at which you can run away from your relatives, they need this simulation. Two bikers want to meet at a specific time. Scholars alter the velocity of one rider to arrange the...

Do predators look for different things in different seasons? The quick interactive shows how some species survive longer in one season than another based on the conditions. The challenge questions encourage pupils to demonstrate that...
