Finding multiples is an essential skill in math. Students intuitively perform this critical skill through skip counting and this resource teaches them how. More than a "worksheet," this combined study guide, scaffolded notes, how-to guide, and practice sheet gives students everything they need to begin their journey toward mastery of finding multiples and factors—and how to distinguish between the two terms. Here's what you get: A detailed definition of multiples with examples.A detailed, step-b

Patterns are a first step to learning how to apply universal rules in math. Students use patterns as a foundation for In/Out boxes, applying rules, and learning and using functions. This resource includes a simple introduction to patterns, then explains how to identify them with letters. Then students apply their knowledge with the included activity! This resource includes: 260-word article that introduces mathematical patterns, introduces letter identifiers for patterns, and explains how to ide

Prime and composite numbers is a key concept in math and this resource helps children understand the concept of factors, prime numbers, and composite numbers, using fact families, models, and divisibility. Use the article and examples as scaffolded notes for your class to use over and over. This resource includes: 700-word article that describes number properties, briefly defines odd and even numbers, then explains prime and composite numbers in detailStep by step instructions for using models t

Using models to represent odd and even numbers is a great way to help students fully understand this number property, as well as the math strategies of doubles and doubles plus one. Students must conceptualize dividing by two in the framework of real-world objects, taking something that is abstract and making it concrete. This deepens their understanding and helps them apply what they've learned! This resource includes: 290-word article that describes number properties, defines odd and even numb

Using models to represent factors and determine whether numbers are prime or composite is a great way to help students fully understand the concepts of factoring, prime and composite, and multiplication. Students must conceptualize multiplication in the framework of real-world objects, taking something that is abstract and making it concrete. This deepens their understanding and helps them apply what they've learned! This activity tasks students with dividing models up into equal groups, indicat

Factor rainbows are a great way to engage students. They give students a point of reference, a systematic method, and motivation to find the factors of a number. After all, they see a rainbow at the end, along with the factors of the number they're factoring! This sheet provides everything a student needs to get started with factoring. Here's what you get. Very brief article that defines factors and productsStep by step instructions for finding factors with factor rainbowsScaffolding so students
