Fantastic and fun opportunity for students to engage in using the Depth & Complexity icons of patterns and rules. Just print out, enter 1 number, and have the students fill in the rest of the number puzzle (using a hundreds chart). Can be used for students who are able to use higher numbers...or reversely, go into the negative numbers. Students can then identify patterns and certain rules that apply (GATE) after completing the number puzzle.

A great tool to display for your primary learners. This showcases the concept of Place Value, up to the Hundreds Place, including pictorial (100's squares, 10-sticks, and ones) and numerical representation.

An extremely helpful tool in providing students with support and logical steps to use the strategy of decomposing numbers when adding. This resource starts with showing students how to decompose numbers using numerical and pictorial representations. Following an understanding of what decomposing numbers is, students are then introduced to the use of the decomposing strategy for adding numbers together.

This resource is incredibly helpful for teachers (primarily 1st and 2nd grade teachers) who are wanting to expose students to a variety of strategies. I searched around for a resource that would most benefit my students and I decided to create my own in order to help my students best learn how to use this as one way to solve addition equations. This visual tool allows students to see, step-by-step, how to use Place Value.

A simple frame that can be used to support deeper critical thinking. May be used across all content areas.
