Designed to help students learn abstract algebraic concepts through concrete modeling with manipulative blocks.

Description Hands-on manipulatives allow students to count, sort, group, add, and subtract

Ages: 4 and up
Description: Encourages the development of number concepts, from basic counting to multiplication and division, through manipulation of cubes of 10 different colors, which can be snapped together. Accompanying booklet provides activities

Description: Electronic learning clock teaches kids to tell time and solve elapsed time problems. Displays both digital and analog time to help kids transition from reading numbers to reading clock faces.

This set of color coded plastic pieces contains nine 3 1/2 inch circles divided into halves, thirds, fourths, fifths, sixths, eighths, tenths, twelfths, and a whole.

Description: Beans can be used by young learners to gain basic math skills such as counting, addition, and subtraction.

Description Precision-tooled blocks divided into centimeters provide visual models for use in teaching base ten number system concepts.

Description This book shows how students can explore these important ideas in such diverse activities as exchanging currency and using area models to develop algorithms for multiplying and dividing fractions. Underlying each activity is the belief that students learn best when they build computational fluency on a firm conceptual foundation.

Description Mathematical lessons and activities designed to develop skills connected with whole numbers, addition, subtraction, geometrical shapes, measurement and number patterns.

Description: Teachers will find step-by-step guidance and all the necessary reproducible materials for mathematics instruction that involves group work, reflection, movement, and visualization. Through activities such as Jumping Jelly Beans, Math Hockey, and Treasure Hunt, young learners will enjoy developing skills connected with number patterns and place value, multi-digit addition and subtraction, multiplication and division, fractions, and more.

Description Teachers will find step-by-step guidance and all the necessary reproducible materials for mathematics instruction that involves group work, reflection, movement, and visualization. Through activities such as Scuba Division, Party Planners, Sunken Treasure, and Parachute Drop, intermediate learners will enjoy developing skills connected with multiplication and division, fractions and decimals, data analysis, and more.

Contains a set of wooden rods in graduated lengths and colors designed for use as a basic tool in teaching mathematics.

3 cylindrical containers of varying height and diameter, 1 cubic and 1 rectangular shaped container, all with measures marked on the sides.

1 demonstration clock and 24 student clocks. Plastic clock faces with adjustable hands provide the opportunity for students to learn to tell the time.

Ages: 8 and up
Description Fast, simple strategy game.Teaches stem and steam principles like deductive reasoning and logic.

Grades: 6-12
Description: Contains high-interest ways to teach to the Common Core’s math content standards, promote inquiry and process in mathematical thinking, build procedural skills and conceptual understanding, encourage flexibility in problem solving, emphasize efficient test-taking strategies.

Description: This book presents investigations that allow students to reason about factors, area formulas, similar figures, data in a set, and growing patterns. An investigation of the Pythagorean theorem introduces proof in a developmentally appropriate way. Included is a CD-ROM with applets for students' use, ready-to-print activity sheets, and professional development resources for teachers.

Description: Attribute Blocks introduce early learners to shapes, patterns, and sorting. Strengthens fundamental mathematical skills and develop problem-solving techniques through logic. Contains 60 attribute blocks, 3 attribute block hoops and 2 booklets.

For use in teaching problem solving, logical thinking, and mathematical concepts.

Offers effective ways to present math concepts, opportunities for guided practice, and ideas for modifications to provide access to the same content standards for all students.

Written specifically for K–12 mathematics teachers, this resource provides the "nuts and bolts" of differentiation. Presented in an easy-to-implement format, this handy notebook is designed to facilitate the understanding and process of writing differentiated lessons to accommodate all readiness levels, learning styles, and interests.

Description: This series helps teachers use the imaginative ideas in children's books for math lessons. Organized into four grade-level collections to respond to teachers specific classroom needs, this series includes favorite lessons based on a wide variety of children s books. Teachers will appreciate these books for the enjoyment and excitement they bring to math instruction. With introductions by Marilyn Burns, these books include vignettes of lessons and samples of student work. These lessons, based on popular children s books, address major mathematical topics such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, geometry, algebraic thinking, number sense, and place value.

Description: This book provides easy-to-implement, literature-based activities that connect standards-based grades 3-5 mathematics lessons with concepts derived from science, social studies, and the arts standards. Presents a matrix of activities listing the literature used for each activity and the Mathematics concepts covered as well as concepts covered for the other content areas. Includes overviews of the children’s literature accompany each activity.
