As primary mathematicians are counting and beginning to build understandings of our base ten number system they need a variety of experiences to support the development of fluency. Number charts along with “I am…” clues offer a different perspective on numbers for students. A set of ten “I Am” number clues is included plus two blank to use for children or the teacher to create their own. See “I Am” Activity for directions and number charts. This resource is good for students with dyslexia and language-based learning deficiencies.

There are problems from history that can serve today’s secondary mathematicians well. One such problem comes from The Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art, written in the 3rd C. AD. It is as important a mathematical source as Euclid’s compilation, Elements. Where Elements influenced Western mathematics, Nine Chapters influenced the mathematics of China. It serves as a rich source of contextual problems to challenge today’s young mathematicians. Excerpts can be found in Google books among other places. This problem is from Chapter 9, Problem 20. The accompanying power point has facilitation notes. This resource includes a PDF with description, the Nine Chapters Problem, and PDF of Power Point.

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 as well as those dealing with positional relationships. 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 12 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.

Writing is one of the parts of language that younger mathematicians are still developing along with their reading, talking, and listening skills. Children learn to write by writing. Writing needs to be original thought, not just copying something that someone else wrote. Therefore, it is imperative that opportunities are provided often for students to engage in writing about mathematics. As the teacher, providing an environment that is rich in mathematical language is a priority. Writing About offers a collaborative opportunity for small groups of students to work individually first to write about a concept and then to come together and putting their individual work into a paragraph about the topic. A word cloud is given as a prompt for words and ideas. Facilitation notes are provided as well as student activity sheet. This is a good activity for struggling students and ESL/ELL who may need some support in writing.

Dominoes are one of the older and more versatile of manipulatives. Dominoes serve as a concrete representation for many mathematical concepts. The use of dominoes can serve as a bridge for many students to the more abstract understandings that need to be developed. This collection of activities for primary mathematicians offers a variety of experiences using dominoes as well as number charts. Samples of 20, 50 charts, 100 charts and activity pages including unknowns and comparisons are provided. Multiple charts per page are provided as well as blank charts for extensions. The two per page and four per page will fit nicely into the Mathematician’s Notebook. This resource is great for students with dyslexia and language-based learning deficiencies.

The activities in this 20 page packet on A Study of the Real Number system include: 2 application probes 2 investigations 7 tasks to probe students deeper into their study of this topic several pre-assessment and writing activities that support the development of the language of mathematics Student activity and investigation sheets are provided as well as teacher facilitation notes. Many of these activities can be extended into the Complex Number System as well. This resource is good for students with Dyslexia and language-based learning deficiencies.

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 task for middle school students requires students to investigate the relationships between the tangram pieces while working with dimensional analysis. Opportunities for developing spatial reasoning and logical reasoning are provided as students work through the investigation. Questions for moving 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.
