Students practice counting sequences by standing in a circle and counting one by one.

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach second graders about counting cubes and creating a place value diagram.

Students who work on this task will benefit in seeing that given a quantity, there is often more than one way to represent it, which is a precursor to understanding the concept of equivalent expressions.

This assignment engages students in an environmental history class in the use of quantitative data, and raises questions about the nature and meaning of that data, and how it might be utilized.

This task gives students another way to practice counting and gain fluency with connecting a written number with the act of counting. This task should be introduced by the teacher and would then be a good independent center.

The most engaging way to practice counting with students is to have them count meaningful things in their lives. Since five-year-olds are very focused on themselves this is easily done by allowing them to count themselves, their friends and objects within the classroom that relate to their daily lives.

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach first graders about counting rectangles, squares, and triangles in composite figures.

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach fourth graders about counting right angles in a turn.

This challenging problem and brainteaser gives first graders an opportunity to compose and decompose squares.

This is an instructional task related to deepening place-value concepts. The important piece of knowledge upon which students need to draw is that 10 tens is 1 hundred.

A fun lesson plan for younger students incorporating art, math, and writing. Student create their own counting stories, and illustrate them. Also provides resources and adaptations. (To access this lesson plan, you must register with Crayola.com. Registration is free and takes only a few moments to complete.)

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach third graders about counting vertices and sides in various shapes.

The objective of this lesson is to gain automaticity counting to 100 and to establish the importance of multiples of ten. The final goal of this lesson is for students to be able to count by tens and articulate the term for this.

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach fourth graders about counting the angles in a closed figure.

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach fifth graders about counting the number of perpendicular lines.

This task involves solving equations with rational coefficients, and requires students to use the distributive law ("combine like terms"). The equation also provides opportunities for students to observe structure in the equation to find a quicker solution, as in the second solution presented.

This task presents a real world application of finite geometric series. The context can lead into several interesting follow-up questions and projects. Many drugs only become effective after the amount in the body builds up to a certain level. This can be modeled very well with geometric series.

In this video segment from Cyberchase, the CyberSquad must get into a vault before Hacker, Buzz and Delete by cracking a code of shapes and numbers.
