This number sense lesson focuses on multiplying numbers with regrouping. The lesson includes research-based strategies and questions that help prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students multiply the bottom number with each digit of the top number, regrouping if needed (add the regrouped number, if needed). Then, they read the product aloud. In addition to the lesson, there are four pages of Independent Practice and review with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items.

This number sense lesson focuses on solving division problems that have a remainder. The lesson includes research-based strategies and questions that help prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students identify the dividend and the divisor. Then, they solve for the division problem by following the basic steps of division (divide, multiply, subtract, and bring down) and writing in the remainder. Finally, students interpret the quotient and remainder. In addition to the lesson, there are eight pages of Independent Practice and review with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items.

This number and operations in base ten lesson teaches students how to multiply numbers by multiples of 10, 100, and 1,000. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students will multiply numbers by multiples of 10, 100, and 1,000 and multiples of 10 by multiples of 10 in preparation for more complex multi-digit multiplication in the future. This lesson focuses on the simplification of complex multiplication problems into simpler ones to facilitate relatively easy multiplication.

This number sense lesson focuses on identifying the place value of digits in a number. The lesson includes research-based strategies and questions that help prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students identify a specific digit in a number and identify the place of the digit. Then, they identify the value of the digit. In addition to the lesson, there are four pages of Independent Practice and review with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items.

This number sense lesson focuses on using expanded form to represent numbers. The lesson includes research-based strategies and questions that help prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students read the number aloud and identify and label the digit in the ones, tens, hundreds, and thousands place. Then, they write the number in expanded form. In addition to the lesson, there are expanded form flashcards and four pages of Independent Practice and review with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items.

This number sense lesson focuses on using the relationship between multiplication and division to check answers. The lesson includes research-based strategies and questions that help prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students identify the operation needed to check the answer. Then, they set up the multiplication or division problem and identify the numbers used to create the problem. Finally, students check the answer by solving the problem. In addition to the lesson, there are four pages of Independent Practice and review with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items.

This number sense lesson focuses on determining the unit cost. The lesson includes research-based strategies and questions that help prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students read the problem and identify the number of units and the total cost. Then, they set up the division problem using the number of units and total cost, and solve the division problem. In addition to the lesson, there are eight pages of Independent Practice and review with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items.

This number sense lesson focuses on ordering whole numbers. The lesson includes research-based strategies and questions that help prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students first write the numbers into the grid. Then, they find the least and greatest numbers of the set by comparing the digits of the numbers (label as "least" and "greatest"). Finally, students write the numbers in order from least to greatest, then greatest to least. In addition to the lesson, there are nine pages of Independent Practice and review with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items.

This number sense lesson focuses on converting between fractions and division problems. The lesson includes research-based strategies and questions that help prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students represent each fraction with the division symbol. Then, they solve the problem using multiplication facts or with long division, if necessary. In addition to the lesson, there are four pages of Independent Practice and review with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items.

This number sense lesson focuses on subtracting whole numbers. The lesson includes research-based strategies and questions that help prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students read the subtraction problem and line up the numbers by their place value. Then, they subtract each column (starting from the right) and regroup, if needed. Finally, students interpret the difference. In addition to the lesson, there are four pages of Independent Practice and review with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items.

This number sense lesson focuses on using the relationship between multiplication and division to check answers. The lesson includes research-based strategies and questions that help prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students write both factors in expanded form. Then, they set up the box model to perform multiplication in. Then, students find the answer by adding up all the box values. In addition to the lesson, there are four pages of Independent Practice and Periodic Reviews with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items.
