A while back, I wrote a post about incorporating mathematical reasoning into computation practice. In that post, I shared a free long-division choice board. Today, I am sharing a free 3-digit subtraction choice board to illustrate how easy it is to adapt tasks so you...
Do you wonder where fact families are found in the current standards? The fact is, current standards don’t actually mention fact families at all anymore. Instead, they refer to “the relationship between operations.” An understanding of this...
Are you looking for a way to provide your students with engaging computation practice? Today I have a super fun, brain-boosting, elementary math equations game! Brain-Boosting Equations is an activity for 1 to 4 students. It can be played as a competitive game or a...
More and more curriculum maps are delaying the teaching of the standard algorithm for addition and subtraction until later in the year. This is a good thing! There are several developmental steps that students should move through before being introduced to the...
Hundred charts are very versatile tools in the elementary classroom. Working with the patterns on hundred charts helps students develop place value understanding. Hundred charts are also excellent tools for solving multi-digit addition and subtraction problems. There...
