Help your students build their ability to mentally multiply by large numbers with the fun and fast-paced game! Common Core State Standards for Mathematics addressed: Number and Operations in Base Ten (3.NBT) Use place value understanding and properties of operations to perform multi-digit arithmetic. • Multiply one-digit whole numbers by multiples of 10 in the range 10–90 (e.g., 9 × 80, 5 × 60) using strategies based on place value and properties of operations. (3.NBT.3) In this game, stu

Provide your students a chance to explore with patterns and number relationships with this set of sorting cards. These cards allow for multiple uses and can be the springboard for rich mathematical discussions about and multiplying and dividing with powers of ten, helping address both Common Core standards for Number and Operations in Base Ten as well as the Standards for Mathematical Practice. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________

This fast-paced game is a great way to for kids to explore with the concept of factors, allowing you to address the Common Core Math Standards within the Grade 4 cluster "Gain familiarity with factors and multiples." Students will quickly discover the difference between prime and composite numbers, as well as realize the fact that 1 is a factor of every number. This two-player game will require two-sided color tokens and a paper clip to use as a spinner. Resources include teacher directions,

Build students' understanding of number relationships and their mental math fluency (and address Common Core State Standards for Grades 3, 4, and 5) with this fast-paced game! Common Core State Standards for Mathematics addressed: Number and Operations in Base Ten (3.NBT, 4.NBT, 5.NBT) Use place value understanding and properties of operations to perform multi-digit arithmetic. • Multiply one-digit whole numbers by multiples of 10 in the range 10–90 (e.g., 9 × 80, 5 × 60) using strategies b

Build your students' ability to compose and decompose two-dimensional figures with this variation on the classic game Memory. As your students play this simple game, they will grow stronger in their ability to compose and decompose two-dimensional figures. With shape cut-out templates for students to physically move around as they play and an assessment task to evaluate your students' ability to decompose figures, this all-in-one set will help your students develop into strong geometric think

Review multiplication and area with this versatile (and free!) set of “I Have…Who Has?” cards, designed to suit both large groups and small groups. Common Core State Standards for Mathematics addressed: Measurement & Data (3.MD, 4.MD) • Multiply side lengths to find areas of rectangles with whole number side lengths in the context of solving real world and mathematical problems, and represent whole-number products as rectangular areas in mathematical reasoning. (3.MD.7b) • Apply the area and

Build in your students the “habits of mind” of mathematically proficient thinkers as they explore with fraction expression with this quick one-page assessment task. This free product is a sample task from the Finding Fraction of a Number set of my Mastering the Practices: Instruction & Assessment Tasks. I designed the tasks in this set as a way to have my students explore an area of mathematical content in a way consistent with the behaviors described by the eight Standards for Mathematical
