This Power Point walks through using the distributive property to solve 2 digit by 1 digit and 3 digit by 1 digit multiplication problems. With each mouse click, the next step in the process is revealed. There are 4 slides which demonstrate the process using arrays. The four examples with arrays are all 2 digits multiplied by 1 digit. There are four more 2 digit by 1 digit slides that illustrate the process without an array. There are three slides that illustrate 3 digit by 1 digit problems. Alo

This power point is a follow up to my "Multiplying Using the Distributive Property" powerpoint (students multiply 2 and 3 digit numbers by 1 number) which is also on TPT. In this power point, students will walk through the steps of using the distributive property to solve 2 digit by 2 digit problems. A click of the mouse reveals the next step in the process. A power point guide is provided and students are able to complete the problem on their guide as the power point is played. The first 4 slid

I designed this game so that my students wouldn't begrudge practicing long division. There are 2 game boards. One of the gameboards has 2 digit dividends with 3 digit dividend challenge problems. The other has 3 digit dividends with 4 digit dividend challenge problems. My students really enjoyed it and barely realized they were practicing long division.

This is an activity in which students find the factors of 1-24 using cookie cereal to make arrays to assist them. They complete a chart as they find each factor. After finding the factors or 1-24, there is a sheet in which they identify the prime and composite numbers. There are also practice finding factors worksheets included. I created this activity as an alternative to the Core Curriculum Unit 2 Activity 4. I've used it in my classroom and it worked very well.

In this game, students identify factors of whole numbers. As they move around the game board, they must land on factors of a given number to fill their freak card. There are two levels of play. For level one, students are given the factors and in level two, students find the factors of a given number before playing. The beauty of this game is that you can adjust and vary the way it is played to suit your time frame and student's ability level. Not only are students practicing finding factors, th

In this unit, students explore the concept of divisibility, establish divisibility rules, complete a worksheet, play a game, and take a quiz. The unit takes a week to complete. Activity 1: (2 days) Students explore divisibility using counters. Instead of counters, I use a food product, either cereal or cheez-its. Students work in pairs to divide the counters into the groups assigned in the chart and record the number of groups made. Activity 2: (1 day) Students are given hundreds charts and co

In this twist on the classic game of Battle, students compare numbers to see whose number is larger. There are five levels of this game. The levels go from 3 digit numbers to 7 digit numbers with each level getting increasingly harder.

In this version of the remainder game, students divide beans from the pot into groups and keep the remaining beans. Better watch out, if you land on spill the beans, you loose all your beans and have to start all over. Mats and beans are provided for hands on division with manipulatives. This game is great for independent workstations. 2-4 players CCSS: 4.NBT.6 ; MA.3.M.3.6

To practice rounding numbers, I made this game. Students select a card, round the underlined digit on the card, partners check their answer, and if correct students move around the gameboard. After the whole class plays, I put it in one of my math centers.

I created these task cards to serve my enrichment students while comparing numbers. There are twelve cards with two numbers to compare with a missing digit and twelve cards with three digits to compare with a missing digit.

Is it the 100th day of school? I found that most of the activities out there are for younger students. I created a couple of activities so that my older students could still participate in celebrating the 100th day of school. In this activity, students are given a riddle and equations sheet. They solve the equations and color in the corresponding number on the 100's chart. After solving all of the equations, the answer to the riddle appears on the chart. The students really liked it. They

In this game, students will practice using the divisibility rules. When students land on a number on the game board, they must decide, by using the divisibility rules, whether that number is divisible by the number they spun on the spinner. If yes, they collect divisibility dollars. The person with the most divisibility dollars wins! You can spice up this activity by allowing students to buy prizes with the dollars they have won!

This power point covers the steps to multiplying 2 digit whole numbers by 2 digit whole numbers using the rectangular section strategy. With each mouse click, the next step in the process is revealed. A power point guide is provided so students can fill in the answers as you work the power point. The first 4 slides give step by step directions and the last 4 have multiplication problems the students can solve on their guide sheet. I have a smart board so the students solve, then get called t

Review place value relationship skills for 4th grade. This paperless resource is for Google Slides. Students find place value relationships between digits and then select an answer. Correct answers will take them back to the number board to move then on to the next question while incorrect answers take them to a tutorial slide with review of concept. Students are then given another change to try the problem again. I like to use this for independent practice or homework. What is included: 1 i

Students practice skills learned during number relations unit in this self-checking treasure hunt. You will be able to edit the final slide to make the treasure anything you would like. At each destination on the map, students will answer 4 questions. If incorrect, they are directed to try again. After answering all 4 questions correctly, they move to the next destination on the map ending with finding the "treasure". Questions vary in rigor. 3 question for 4.NBT.A.1 ; 8 questions for 4.NBT.

To practice identifying value, I made this game. Students select a card, identify the value of a digit in a number, partners check their answer, and if correct students move around the gameboard. After the whole class plays, I put it in one of my math centers.

Students will follow a question map to answer 20 questions about factors and multiples. If answered correctly, students are taken back to the question map. If answered incorrectly, students are taken to a tutorial slide and are instructed to try again. I like to use this as independent practice or homework when we finish up our unit on factors and multiples to practice for the test. I have students record their answer choices so they can keep track of questions they may need more help with.

Review rounding skills for 4th grade. This paperless resource is for Google Slides. Students round 6 digit numbers to the nearest thousand and then select an answer. Correct answers will take them back to the number board to move on to the next question while incorrect answers take them to a tutorial slide with review of concept. Students are then given another chance to try the problem again. I like to use this for independent practice or homework. What is included: 1 problem game board 20 r

These puzzlers are GREAT for early finishers or workstations. They truly challenge your students to be problem solvers. There are 6 puzzles. All of the puzzles have 2 digit dividends and the quotients are with and without remainders. Students place the puzzle pieces onto the division mat creating a completed division problem. Answers included.
