This is one possible method for using the area model for division.

With this division strategy, students divide by breaking the dividend into its expanded form. Then, students use familiar multiplication facts to divide. It is suggested that this would be the first of three strategies for division (preceding partial quotients and the standard algorithm.

In this lesson, students develop spatial sense by composing shapes to match their teacher's representation.

Having spatial sense means having a feel for the geometric aspects in the environment and how the different shapes can be combined to form different figures. Students do not "grow" this spatial reasoning without having rich experiences that involve shapes and spatial relationships.

This packet contains exit tickets for the Kindergarten, Cluster 4 geometry standards. Exit tickets are written responses to questions posed at the end of a lesson. They are brief assessments which allow the teacher to determine student understanding of the concepts and skills taught that day. At the Kindergarten level, a blank copy of the exit ticket should be displayed on the board and read aloud to students. As teacher reads, students work independently on their own copy of the exit ticket.

The goal of this lesson is for students to understand that plane figures are different from solid figures. Students will identify and locate the face of a solid figure that matches a plane figure, such as the face of a cube is a square, the base of a triangular based pyramid is a triangle.

In this lesson, students compare two-digit numbers based on the meanings of the tens and ones digits.

This resource is from Tools4NCTeachers.Students need distributed practice of newly-learned skills to develop fluency, build proficiency, and deepen understanding. This file contains directions for activities which may be used as Cluster 6 games or math stations.

This resource is from Tools4NCTeachers. This file contains sample anchor charts to create with students. Anchor charts are to be made with students, then displayed as a classroom reference. Parents may also benefit from seeing anchor charts, as they provide a snapshot into the math class.Remix this resource to include pictures of your own anchor charts.

This resource if from Tools4NCTeachers.In this lesson, students use number cards to build numbers and write them in both standard and expanded form.  Printable materials, suggestes for differentiation, and assessment probes are provided.  Remix to share ideas for turning this lesson into a math station or game. 

This resource is from Tools4NCTeachers. In this lesson, small groups of students play a game where they spin 3-digit numbers, build them using arrow cards, and compare the numbers.  Several extension activities and math centers are shared in this lesson. 

This resource is from Tools4NCTeachers.In this lesson, students play a game that requires the comparing and adding of numbers.  The game also provides an opportunity requires record numbers in both standard and expanded form.  Remix this lesson to provide extension activities or pictures of student work.
