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.

Just a roll of the dice, and your students will be learning how to count money! In this lesson, they will be become familiar with the value of money.

Why make things harder on ourselves? Teach your students to decompose numbers to make math easier! Use this as a stand alone lesson or a pre-lesson for Decompose to Multiply: 6, 7, 8, and 9.

Students put their understanding of one and 10 more to work as they write word problems for classmates to solve. This lesson plan can be used alone or with Picture Addition.
