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

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.

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

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.

Using this resource to have students draw out both sides of the equal sign to help ingrain the meaning of the equal sign (both sides having equal value). This important concept will help build deeper understanding when it comes to finding the missing number (1OA8). Once they have drawn out both sides (ideally using sets of dots for ease in recounting-and helps with counting by 2s eventually), they can circle "equal" or "NOT equal". Students can also fill in their own equality sentences on the

Use this Common Core resource to help students make connections using distributive properties in expressions: 24x + 18y to produce the equivalent expression 6(4x + 3y). Slide/sheet is set up for students to describe this process sequentially and then space is provided for them to create their own distributive property examples. Also use the second slide/sheet to help students apply properties of operations. There are 10 expression statements that students choose true or false for. Then have s
