Tools to Help With Number Sense

Making Sense of the Numbers

Dissect numbers with the new Number Pieces Tool to understand relationships between ones, tens and hundreds. Take the face of the clock apart by using color, numbers, Roman Numerals and even no numbers to learn to tell time better. Use the Sum Machine to take operations apart and practice, practice, practice. Use any set of questions with the Tic Tac Toe Game to add fun. That makes sense too.

New tool: Number Pieces

Number pieces help students visualize numbers. Pile sets of ten or individually colored ones onto a hundred square to display an addition or subtraction question. Let different colored sets of ones help with understanding carrying. Let students compose the number of the day visually and then write it. Use settings to display a grid or place value.

The versatile Sum Machine

Mark this tool as a favorite. Customize it to prepare questions by operation or grade level. Use it as a daily warm up. Click to display answers so students can check their work. Practice without using up trees or prep time. You select "add remainder" and how high problems should go. Use for end of the year challenges or to begin the year to make sure times tables have been mastered.

Generate sums

Calculate elapsed time

Move students through clock reading skills gently with this set of customizable clocks. Younger grades need colored hands and numbers, but as students grow, they need challenge. Display Roman Numerals or no numbers at all. Help them round off time to various intervals in settings. Digital clocks are great, but can they read an analog clock with no colors and numbers? Find out before time runs out.

Time is running out!

Tic Tac Toe Game

Wrap the day up with a game that can teach any subject you add in to it. Use it to review questions of your own by letting teams battle it out or just let them learn to strategize by playing against you or the computer. Will they win and do 5 less homework problems? Will you win and they get 5 more? We learn gaming strategy not with talk, but with practice. Try it and add some fun to your day.
