WHY?

It’s best to introduce subtraction with regrouping using concrete manipulatives related to place value such as base 10 blocks. Using base 10 blocks is an effective way to support students in developing a conceptual understanding of subtraction because they are able to see the value of each digit in the number. This visual model helps students understand the regrouping process of exchanging 1 ten for 10 ones or 1 hundred for 10 tens.

The slides are designed for students to simultaneously model subtraction equations with base 10 blocks and the standard algorithm. Building a correlation between the equation and the physical model will help students build a strong foundation for subtraction as they move on to more advanced skills.  

SAVE TIME and ENERGY creating activities for students with these no prep ready to go math centers.

I hope this three digit subtraction with base 10 blocks Google classroom Resource is an effective tool to help your students learn 3 digit subtraction with regrouping.

Looking for a printable bundle to help your students visualize, draw and understand percentages and decimals? This is part of a larger collection of math manipulatives and visual aides I use in my teaching!

This particular set is built for teaching percentage equivalence. In this set, I've included decimals, percentages and 100s grids for each percentage from 1% to 100% - so there are 100 cards of each - for a grand total of 300 cards on 20 pages. I've thrown in some blank 100s grids which you can laminate and use with a whiteboard marker in your small group instruction! These cards work great under a document camera, for 1:1 or whole group games, for math centres, for your small group work, etc.) You can also use parts as a memory game or they can even be used on a math wall or on your anchor charts. They're great to have on hand when covering number sense, decimal numbers and equivalence to give a visual one-up to your teaching.

They're precise, accurate, tidy and printer-friendly.

Print single-sided on 8.5" x 11" paper and get cutting and laminating!

Hope they help you help your kids!

This resource is a self checking task card scavenger hunt that works on converting both written and expanded form into standard form. This resource could be done by students independently or within a group to supplement classroom content, practice for classroom assessments or state tests, or used as used as a review. Students will love the challenge and stay engaged in the task!

Students can begin at any task card; they must write the task card letter in the circle in the first box on the student work page. They complete the equation on that task card and record their work in the box on the work page. They will know that their answer is correct by finding that specific answer in the "Previous Answer" section on another task card. That one would be the next task card in their sequence and they would repeat the process until they have completed all task cards. The last task card should lead them back to the original one that they started with. **If their answer is NOT found on any of the task cards under the "Previous Answer" sections, students will know that their answer is incorrect and they need to try again.

Step by step directions, (with pictures), are included as well as an answer key with every possible correct sequence that students could have depending on which task card they start with.

Cette ressource de 8 pages comprend 32 cartes dont la moitié sont des illustrations de blocs de base 10 (centaines, dizaines et unités) dans diverses combinaisons. L'autre moitié est le nombre entier correspondant.

Vous pouvez choisir de faire jouer vos élèves à ce jeu de différentes manières. Voici quelques possibilités: 

• Imprimez plusieurs copies et demandez à vos élèves de travailler en petits groupes pour jouer à « Mémoire » avec les cartes, en retournant deux cartes à chaque tour et en gardant leurs paires jusqu'à ce que toutes les cartes aient été retournées et que toutes les paires aient été trouvées.
• À l'aide d'une caméra de documents (ELMO, Doc Cam etc), montrez à vos élèves le nombre entier ou l'image des blocs de base dix et demandez-leur de le représenter différemment sur les tableaux blancs.
• Distribuez une carte à chaque élève et faites-les se déplacer dans la salle pour trouver son équivalent.

Ces cartes peuvent être utilisées avec n'importe quelle langue - car ce ne sont que des illustrations et des chiffres.

Il suffit d'imprimer, de plastifier et de l'utiliser comme centre de mathématiques, comme introduction à la valeur de position, comme activité kinesthésique pour les faire bouger ou pour laisser avec un enseignant suppléant!

Looking for a fun way to engage your students while practicing place value skills? The Case of the Cursed Candy Math Mystery is a Halloween-themed math activity that will have your students solving puzzles, cracking codes, and practicing essential math skills—all while trying to stop a Halloween monster from turning the town's children into real monsters!

What’s the Mystery?

It’s Halloween in the spooky town of Mathigan, and something is terribly wrong with the candy being handed out. When the children eat it, they are transformed into real Halloween monsters! One of the town’s monsters has cursed the candy, and it's up to your students to solve the case. Using math skills, students will work through five clues to narrow down a list of ten suspects and discover who is behind the curse.

Skills Covered:

This mystery focuses on key place value skills aligned with 4th-grade standards:

• Finding the Value of a Digit in multi-digit numbers
• Comparing Multi-Digit Numbers to determine larger or smaller values
• Adding and Subtracting Multi-Digit Numbers with and without regrouping up to the hundred thousands
• Rounding Numbers up to the nearest hundred thousand

How It Works:

Students begin by reading the backstory of the cursed candy mystery, where they learn about the strange happenings in Mathigan and the list of 10 possible suspects, each with unique motives and magical items. Then, they solve math problems to unlock clues. Each correctly solved problem helps eliminate suspects from the list, bringing them closer to identifying the culprit behind the curse.

What’s Included:

• Introductory Backstory: A captivating narrative sets the stage for the mystery and introduces the town and the list of suspects, each with a reason to curse the candy.
• 10 Suspects: Students will investigate ten Halloween-themed suspects, each with a motive, a magical item used to make the curse, and an item that can break it.
• 5 Clue Sheets: Each clue sheet provides math problems that students must solve to gather more information. The math problems include place value comparisons, multi-digit addition and subtraction, and rounding to the nearest hundred thousand.
• Answer Keys: Clear answer keys for all clues ensure teachers can quickly check student work and guide them in the right direction.
• Flexible Use: This mystery can be used as a whole group, small group, or independent activity. It’s perfect for review before tests, early finishers, or as a fun, educational activity leading up to Halloween.

Why You’ll Love It:

This Halloween math mystery combines the excitement of a spooky story with important place value practice, making it a perfect way to keep students engaged while learning. The hands-on, puzzle-solving nature of this activity will capture their imaginations and provide opportunities for both individual and collaborative learning. Best of all, students will be having so much fun solving the mystery, they won’t even realize how much math practice they’re getting!

Use The Case of the Cursed Candy Math Mystery to make your Halloween lessons memorable and educational this year!
