Making ten is one of the foundational strategies for developing flexible numerical thinking, accuracy, and efficiency.

Kids love to count and build puzzles. This activity encourages them to do both! The kids count objects on puzzle pieces and match the groups of objects to the correct number.

At the end of the year, a lot is going on in our classroom. We continue our center routine for additional practice and to allow for end of the year testing to be completed.

In order to pull small groups during math instruction, the rest of the students need engaging activities that they can complete independently. These simple sorting activities help students learn the procedures for completing math centers.

Using decimals and finding perimeter and area all while learning about the metric system.

Using base ten blocks and place value, students explore how to become more fluent in adding and subtracting two-digit numbers without regrouping.

SWBAT identify patterns on a hundreds chart. SWBAT use patterns and structure of the hundreds chart to identify missing numbers.

Students need practice using coins and dollars and relating them to ones, tens and hundreds. Common Core standards include counting by 10s and 100s.

The big idea of this lesson is that three (or more) numbers can be grouped together and added. The order of this grouping doesn't matter.

Students always want to share! This lesson allows us to create a routine where everyone is safe in sharing their thinking and comfortable responding to another's presentation of understanding.

To make sense of numbers in the thousands, 2nd grade students need practice identifying place value positions and using place value strategies in numbers to 1,000.

How do you multiply decimals? Where does the decimal point go? Students work on answering these questions and developing an algorithm for multiplying decimals.

SWBAT apply their understanding of patterns on the hundreds chart and the counting sequence to create a number chart.

Numbers don't stop at 20! We spend the last week or so of school looking at the numbers beyond 20. Today we do it through a story.
