Primary mathematicians first model “put together” and “take apart” situations using concrete objects, drawings, etc. These concepts are then expanded to composing and decomposing numbers additively. A connection to students’ prior work with building sets is important as students are developing fluencies with their addition and subtractions facts. Children need many opportunities to experience these situations.
Incorporating seasonal manipulatives allow children to practice these mathematical ideas in a contextual setting. To effectively facilitate these activities, be sure to cover the common addition and subtraction situations found in Table 1, CCSSM, page 88. Color masters are provided for both activities, the seasonal objects as well as the counters. Hyperlinks are also provided for manipulatives when applicable.

There are many uses for glyphs. They are often used for students to share information about themselves. While the glyphs are being created, students are engaged with other topics such as counting, literacy, geometric shapes, etc.
A traditional snowman glyph legend and template is included.
Extending the idea of “reading” a glyph and connecting it to problem solving creates some interesting and rich tasks for students. The following set of glyphs can be used in centers or during instruction to help develop students’ observation skills, logical reasoning and problem-solving skills.

Arthur L. Costa and Bena Kallick wrote Habits of Mind in the late 90’s. Soon thereafter, Al Cuoco, E. Paul Goldenberg, and June Mark wrote Habits of Mind: An Organizing Principle for Mathematics Curriculum. In their work they described roles that students hopefully will assume as they are working with mathematics.
This poster gives a visual and brief descriptive overview of some of those roles. The language is applicable for all grade levels as well as subjects beyond mathematics.
Students need many experiences with estimating in their early years. Gumball Estimations offers students an opportunity to connect literacy while kinesthetically engaging in estimation experiences. A variety of suggested facilitation questions are provided as well as extensions to the main activity. Blackline masters are provided for use as needed. Note that the Gumball Estimations Mat is formatted to print on 11X17 paper to facilitate working with small hands.

“Difficulty with fractions (including decimals and percents) is pervasive and is a major obstacle to further progress in mathematics, including algebra.” (National Math Advisory Panel, 2008.) Fractions are the earliest topic in school mathematics where educators agree that students fail and teachers struggle to instruct.
This activity packet is good for students with dyslexia and language-based learning deficiencies.

There are many uses for glyphs. They are often used for students to share information about themselves. While the glyphs are being created, students are engaged with other topics such as counting, literacy, geometric shapes, etc. They are especially popular with elementary teachers. But they do have a place in the secondary grades.
A traditional snowman glyph with secondary math legend and template is included as an example of an adaptation for high school from a primary level activity.
Extending the idea of “reading” a glyph and connecting it to graphing functions creates some interesting and rich tasks for students. The following set of glyph templates can be used in centers or during instruction to help develop students’ observation skills, logical reasoning and problem solving skills and as formative assessment probes. There is one set with sunglasses or a blank set of circles to create faces and hair, etc. of choice.

One of the primary works of the secondary mathematician is building functional fluency. 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 linear functions, with the same domain set, and represents them through verbal, tabular, graphical, symbolic, and set representations. There is also a contextual problem for each for the students to work through. There are six sets of cards, each with 6 representations with facilitation notes.
