Use this Common Core resource to visually plot a number on a number line and see how and why it rounds to the nearest 100. Students write the 100 above and below the given number ie. for 342 they write 300 and 400, then plot 342 on a number line and write how many units to the left and to the right to visually see why 342 rounds to 300. This helps eliminate songs, tricks, short cuts and rhymes and gives a more concrete understanding. Once this process is mastered then the students could use s

1st Grade Common Core- Need a medium that supports the mathematical practices. Need a practice sheet that provides room for students to draw out their thinking and model their math? Check out these 6 pages...they include adding practice with models and number lines, skip counting by 10s ( 24, 34, 44 etc.) and two digit plus one digit using the decomposition of the single digit to get to the next 10 (28 + 6 by adding 28 + 2 to get to 30 then 30 + 4 = 34)

No more songs or rhymes-too abstract!! Use this resource to help students understand the concept of rounding with a more concrete visual. Students should write the "10" above and below the given number. Then students can plot the given number on a number line to visually see which 10 it is closest to. The last step is for students to complete the sentence at the bottom of the page ie. 76 rounds to 80 because 80 is the closest 10. Sheets one and two have numbers below 100 and sheets 3 and 4 g

This medium provides space for students to draw out the number and pair up the individual dots showing why numbers are even or odd.

1OA1 Common Core practice for word problems with missing addends. Students can draw out known information and solve for the sum/difference or unknown. Use addition and subtraction within 20 to solve word problems involving situations of adding to, taking from, putting together, taking apart, and comparing, with unknowns in all positions, e.g., by using objects, drawings, and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem.

Use this Common Core resource to help students practice quarter till and quarter after. This resource includes 7 pages for students to choose quarter after or quarter till, the hour, and to write that time under the analog representation. Also students can draw the hands on the clock for various quarter till/after examples and write in the corresponding time. Lastly a match between description, analog and digital clocks is included.

Students add (sums below 12) using a number line. This adds another modality of understanding addition. Students can start with the higher number and count on by using the visual number line. Common Core understanding requires students to draw, build, explain, etc., and emphasizes the importance of using a number line repeatedly. Students can make up their own number sentences as well. This assignment will lead nicely into using different adding strategies (decomposing numbers etc.) and with d

2NBT1 and 2NBT2 Use this medium to help students visualize the concept of skip counting by building number patterns through drawing. Then use sheets 2 and 3 for practice skip counting forward and backward by 5s, 10s, and 100s.

2MD8 Common Core Practice for Coin Identification and Finding Total Value of Coins This medium can be used in a presentation format as well as for student practice.

Use this Common Core resource to deeply enrich your students understand of dividing. See keys for explanation of multiple methods. Give your students more tools other than the abstract way of long division. Includes: 3 example sheets with area, standard, and repeated subtraction models Room to workout problems Over 12 rigorous multi-step word problems Place for students to explain their thinking in writing and more! 10 question test including 4 word problems. Could be used for math centers, as

Use this Common Core resource to help students visualize percentages of whole numbers. Break whole numbers into 10 equal parts that represent 10% of the given whole. This will require them to divide by 10 then use multiplication or repeated addition with decimals to compose the whole (see example). Then students can estimate their answers. Students then have the opportunity to multiply the percent by the given whole number to check their estimation. We did this with two sixth grade classes thi

This Common Core resource covers six different aspects of of 5NBT5 (fluently multiply multi-digit whole numbers using the standard algorithm). To fully understand the standard algorithm, use this resource to help bridge the gap from abstract to concrete. Using the area model (portioning) students create visual connections. Word problems are included. Also exposing students to the FOIL method encourages use of expanded form and prepares them for future use of this process. Also included is a ment

2OA4 Common Core Practice- Students use this medium to write addition sentences for various arrays. They can make up their own as well.

2OA2 Common Core Adding Using Expanded form, Base 10 blocks, and Number Lines. Use this medium to help show students three different methods for adding double digit numbers with regrouping.

Use this Common Core resource to help students understand addition properties, equalities, and missing addends. Students should draw dots or shapes under each number and visually be able to see how 3+2=4+1 etc. Sheets 1 and 2 have one sum (left or right of the equal sign) and sheets 3 and 4 have 2 and 3 addends on each side of the equal sign. Use whole class, in a guided math group or for a math center.

2NBT1 Common Core Practice- Use this medium for students to draw out three digit numbers using base ten shapes then label the value for each place. Use for practice, assessment or as an instructional tool.

Common Core Support for 1OA7-This medium provides practice for students to model equalities/inequalities.

3NBT2 Calls for students to be fluent with different methods of addition and subtraction. This Common Core resource emphasizes subtraction using number lines, base 10 shapes, and standard form. Numbers are below 250- great resource for introducing the number line concept (using expanded form) and regrouping using base 10 shape drawings. There are 4 sheets with 3 problems on each with plenty of room for students to draw out their work.

1NBT5 Common Core support for adding 2s, 5s, and 10s, mentally 0-120. Students can count forward and backward to complete activities patterns. Also included are activities for them to name the next number above a given number. This activity includes 3 sheets for the number 2, 3 sheets for the number 5, and 3 sheets for the number 10. Also is a place for students to write in their own skip counting pattern for each (2, 5, and 10).

Use this medium to give students room to build numbers to show how they compare. This worksheet gives them the opportunity to draw out numbers using number dots or base-10 shapes to show comparisons. This takes away the short cut of comparing place values by having them draw them out to see the physical representation of numbers and makes it easier to compare.
