Let’s start building numbers! Just as building skyscrapers is a visual representation of mathematics, students will use the visual representation of base-ten blocks to add—or build—onto a two-digit number.

Students will get to explore three-digit numbers through base-ten blocks and written form. Students will get plenty of practice identifying the place values of a number both individually and with the class.

Use this lesson to review three-digit addition strategies including base-ten drawings, number lines, and the standard algorithm.

Use this lesson to introduce composing and decomposing as part of your students’ addition and subtraction toolkits.

Fill ‘em up! This lesson teaches students to compare how much different containers can hold. Get ready for some overflowing fun!

Shapes, shapes everywhere! In this lesson, your students will identify shapes and differentiate between the geometrical figures. They will also learn about sides and angles in every shape.

Help your students use rulers in the classroom with this lesson! Encourage them to measure items around them using centimeters to understand shapes and sizes.

In this lesson, students will have fun creating addition sentences by drawing and counting ladybug dots.

Buzz, buzz! Can you count the five busy little bees? In this bee-themed lesson on counting and number recognition, students will use bees to learn how to count the numbers one through five.

Practice finding unknown numbers in addition equations using fun and silly word problems.

Give your students some early practice with shapes using this simple lesson. Young learners will have a great time creating shapes using pieces of string.

Help your class “jump” into number recognition with confidence! In this lesson, students will write numbers on sticky notes, place them in sequential order, and “jump” on the numbers while counting.

What comes after winter? Spring! What comes after the equals sign in a subtraction equation? The difference! In this spring lesson plan, students will look at a variety of spring-themed subtraction pictures and write matching equations.

In this review focused math lesson, students will get a chance to practice and share their knowledge of patterns and numbers!

In this lesson, your students will use the background knowledge that they have about counting and sorting to graph data. They will practice answering questions about the graph!

Use this lesson plan that incorporates the classic Bingo game to reinforce number recognition from zero to 20!

In this lesson, students will make bar graphs and interpret data using real-life data from other students. They will get practice writing and answering survey questions.

Numbers are blooming! In this flower-themed lesson, students will create a piece of math artwork that will help them practice recognition of numbers through ten.

Look all around! We can find 2D shapes inside 3D shapes wherever we go! In this lesson, students will sort shapes and recognize the 2D components of common 3D shapes.

With this activity, students will identify shapes, build 3-D shapes, and practice describing shapes with a partner.

High order thinking skills are critical skills for students of all ages. In this lesson, your students will create word problems about money.

Raindrops are falling in this weather-themed math lesson! Students will manipulate raindrops and discover that raindrops can be counted in the same order, even when they are arranged in different ways.

Students sketch base-ten blocks in this lesson that builds both number sense and fluency adding to 20!

How are plants’ traits affected by environmental factors? In this integrated science and reading lesson, students will use multiple sources to identify and determine how traits are influenced by the environment.

Introduce place value to your emerging mathematicians while focusing on the numbers 11–20. In this lesson, students will practice separating teen numbers into 10 ones and some additional ones using unifix cubes and ten frames.
