Needed: Clean egg cartons and a zip bag with a handful of the children's favorite breakfast cereal. Instructions are included. This is a great manipulative activity, perfect for getting the concept of division into the minds of your students. Cocoa Puffs, Trix, or Fruit Loops work well.

What better way to estimate then to be given the EXACT answers to a set of paired numbers to be added or subtracted? Estimation is not about steps. It is about using whatever mental mean necessary to find a close answer quickly. ESTIMATION: AN EASY WAY TO FIND AN ANSWER THAT IS CLOSE. This matching worksheet gives 9 pairs of numbers from 3 to 6 digits which are either added or subtracted. The exact sums and differences are on the other side. Estimation strategies will make this simple for your

This is an easy to check assessment or check for understanding. It covers basic multiplication computation using 2 digits multiplied by 1 digit, including estimation skills. Great for think-pair-share, graded assessment, or exit pass. Multiple choice with a small "bubble" area makes quick visual checking a breeze!

This is a 20 question assessment, all multiple choice, involving the basic concept of multiplication. Not intended to be a computation assessment, this question set assures understanding of what multiplication actually is. Included is a bubble sheet with a cut/punch out key for easy scoring. Great for collaboration, pretesting, and assessing understanding.

The students will work 9 2 by 2 multiplication problems and find their answers from an ordered list of numbers below that have a different 3-letter word associated with each. Most if the answers will not be used, as there are 24 possible answers and only 9 actual ones. This is a great practice activity. If mistakes are made, it would be obvious, since the incorrect product would probably not be listed. This will help students to self-correct. A bit more fun than simply assigning a bunch of p

This covers division with 2 and 3 digit dividends and a single digit divisor. The first questions provide the traditional algorithm bracket, while the latter part does not. The latter part also has some practical division problems, and some higher-order thinking estimation questions, very similar to those often found on achievement tests. Great for tests, quizzes, collaborative work, and data collection.

This is a check for understanding, or could be used as a learning activity. It makes for a quick data collection piece. The "bubble sheet" makes for simple scoring.re
