This task helps students understand that when you multiply by a number you always get a bigger number.

The purpose of this task is for students to compare two fractions that arise in a context. Because the fractions are equal, students need to be able to explain how they know that.

This task involves fraction multiplication and can be solved with pictures or number lines.

This task builds on a fifth grade fraction multiplication task, Ň5.NF Running to School, Variation 1.Ó This task uses the identical context, but asks the corresponding ŇNumber of Groups UnknownÓ division problem. See Ň6.NS Running to School, Variation 3Ó for the ŇGroup Size UnknownÓ version.

Same But Different is a powerful routine for use in math classrooms. The activity of same but different is an activity where two things are compared, calling attention to both how they are the same and how they are different.

This apparent paradox is the beauty of the activity. It is important to notice the word BUT. Instead of making a choice – am I going to prove that these are the same or am I going to prove that they are different – students are considering how two items can be both. This is a critically important distinction.

Not same OR different, rather same BUT different.

There are categories for addition/subtraction, early numeracy, multiplication/division, measurement, place value, fractions, ratios, geometry, algebra, and high school math.

The purpose of this task is to have students add fractions with unlike denominators and divide a unit fraction by a whole number.

Same or Different? is a routine that provides students opportunities to construct arguments when comparing objects, such as numbers or shapes.

A routine like Same or Different? provides accessible opportunities for even youngest students to learn how to talk about various features of mathematical objects – quantity, shape, color, orientation, and arrangement, to name a few.

The main areas of focus in the second grade math curriculum are: understanding the base-ten system within 1,000, including place value and skip-counting in fives, tens, and hundreds; developing fluency with addition and subtraction, including solving word problems; regrouping in addition and subtraction; describing and analyzing shapes; using and understanding standard units of measure; working with money and time; and introducing multiplication.

The worksheets and printables for second grade math available on this page will enhance any classroom's math curriculum. These engaging second grade math worksheets cover the basics of counting and ordering as well as addition and subtraction, and include exciting introductions to geometry and algebra for future self-assurance in math.

Webmath is a math-help web site that generates answers to specific math questions and problems, as entered by a user, at any particular moment. The math answers are generated and displayed real-time, at the moment a web user types in their math problem and clicks "solve." In addition to the answers, Webmath also shows the student how to arrive at the answer.

This task uses language, "half of the stamps," that students in Grade 5 will come to associate with multiplication by the fraction 12. In Grade 3, many students will understand half of 120 to mean the number obtained by dividing 120 by 2. For students who are unfamiliar with this language the task provides a preparation for the later understanding that a fraction of a quantity is that fraction times the quantity.

This is a website full of resources for PowerPoint and projector and students to see math visually through games.

This task provides a familiar context allowing students to visualize multiplication of a fraction by a whole number. This task could form part of a very rich activity which includes studying soda can labels.

Simple math test activities for teachers and students, from beginning math operations to calculus. You set the skill level, how many problems, and time limit. A report, which tallies right and wrong answers, is provided after each quiz. Grades: 3–12; cost: Free

Third-grade math instruction is focused on the following areas: developing an understanding of multiplication and division and strategies for multiplication and division within 100; developing an understanding of fractions, especially unit fractions (fractions with numerator 1); developing an understanding of the structure of rectangular arrays and of area; describing and analyzing two-dimensional shapes.

The best way to ensure your students fully grasp the math concepts they'll need to successfully progress in their education is to practice as much as possible. The worksheets, puzzles, games, and other resources available here are the perfect solution for parents and teachers who want to provide their third graders with the tools they need to understand and excel in third-grade math.

This series of word problems requires students to determine which problems can be solved by multiplying 1/8_2/5.

Both of the questions in this task are solved by the division problem 12Ö3 but what happens to the ribbon is different in each case.

The goal of this task is to provide examples for comparing two fractions by finding a benchmark fraction which lies in between the two.

This task highlights a slightly different aspect of place value as it relates to decimal notation. More than simply being comfortable with decimal notation, the point is for students to be able to move fluidly between and among the different ways that a single value can be represented and to understand the relative size of the numbers in each place.
