Number charts support the investigation of and discovery of many number patterns as well as serve as an aid in developing fluencies with composition and decomposition of numbers. This 59 page packet offers aids for investigations from a 10 frame, 20 frame, 100 chart, 300 chart, up to a 1000 chart (counting by 10s) support students as they are further developing their understandings of the base ten number system. Multiple charts per page are provided that will fit nicely into the Mathematician’s Notebook.

Whether a young mathematician is developing number sense or a secondary mathematician is developing functional fluency, multiple representations play a pivotal role. The Multiple Representation Activities resources are available to support building these fluencies. Also, using an adaptation of the classic Frayer model applied to mathematical representations supports building these fluencies at the point of instruction. The Multiple Representation Model can be used as a note-taking guide, as an assessment probe, or as a spiraling review. Five representations are given for each model. There is also a set that is given two per page to facilitate use in The Mathematicians’ Notebook. Another representation resource is the Multiple Representation Rectangle. This allows several spaces in which students can work with the various representations. There is also a two per page version, although the regular version does fit in The Mathematician’s Notebook. This resource is good for students with Dyslexia and language-based learning deficiencies. We'd like to hear about your experience with our resources.

NCTM describes “representation” as referring to both a process and a product. So mathematical representations include all the different ways that students depict their thinking as well as the processes they use to put their thinking into those forms. Representations have often been taught as an end in and of themselves, most as essential elements in supporting students’ understanding. When students gain access to mathematical representations and the ideas they express they acquire a set of tools that significantly expand their capacity to model and interpret physical, social, and mathematical phenomena. This activity takes the number 8 and represents it through a concrete manipulative, the written symbol, a verbal symbol, a diagram, picture, graph, drawing, or table, and an algebraic representation with a mathematical sentence. There is also a contextual problem for the students to work through. There are 5 sets of cards, each with 6 representations with facilitation notes.

Rooster's Off to See the World by Eric Carle, is a beloved children’s book. Not only does the story engage children, it can also serve as a foundation for many mathematical investigations for primary mathematicians. These lessons draw from the counting and cardinality standards. Children love playing with dominoes. These two sets of dominoes offer children a chance to practice their subitizing skills as well as strengthening their sense of number. Dominoes are great for young children because they are so simple to use. Questions are provided that can be used during the development of the activity to determine the desired focus of the lesson. It is very important that young mathematicians understand that numbers are quantities represented by numerals, pictures, numerals, etc. Materials are listed for each of the activities. The 10 pages include both black line masters as well as color masters have been provided. Suggestions for preparing the materials have been noted as well to facilitate making classroom sets for long term use.

One Duck Stuck, by Phyllis Root, is a beloved children’s book. Not only does the story engage children it can also serve as a foundation for many mathematical investigations for primary mathematicians. Children benefit from using Five Frames and Ten Frames while learning basic number facts. Making ten is one of the key strategies young mathematicians need to experience as they are developing fluency with addition and subtraction. Students should have many opportunities to work with composing and decomposing numbers in a variety of ways. Connecting to a familiar story makes these activities more engaging for students. “How many?”, building and filing five frames and ten frames, and composing and decomposing numbers are all covered in these activities. Questions are provided that can be used during the development of the activity to determine the desired focus of the lesson. It is very important that young mathematicians understand that numbers are quantities represented by numerals, pictures, numerals, etc. Materials are listed for each of the activities. The 11 pages include both black line masters as well as color masters have been provided. Suggestions for preparing the materials have been noted as well to facilitate making classroom sets for long term use.

There is a need, a time, and a place for building procedural fluency no matter what mathematical topics are being studied. However, moving students beyond procedural mathematics to developing true understandings of the mathematics with which they are engaging requires students to think. The Farmer Jones tasks for high school students requires students to investigate the relationships between the tangram pieces while working an open-ended problem. One activity requires students to maximize income and profit while the second asks for a minimization. Developing different options and presenting those options is required. Even though this is a contrived problem, students can make it more authentic by researching the crops and livestock options in their geographic region. Questions that move the learning forward, as well as extending the learning and reflecting are provided in addition to facilitation notes. This resource is good for students with dyslexia and language-based learning deficiencies.
