Cube Conversations

Check out these "Cube Conversations" from Steve Wyborney. In short, he provides images of cube structures and ask students how many cubes are in the structure. The downloadable printable sheets allow students to describe how they "see" the structure.  I suggest you watch the 8 minute video to see how he approaches these problems to engage in rich mathematical discourse with students. He uses a Powerpoint presentation to show the slides, but you can simulate them without the Powerpoint.

Fly on the Math Teacher’s Wall: Place Value BY DONNA BOUCHER

Here is something new for me . . . a place value Blog Hop. "Each blog hop will focus on a central math topic, and you’ll find blog posts across all grade levels discussing the same topic.  You’ll also find some *freebies* along the way! " Donna Boucher.

The first step in this Blog Hop starts with place value of tens and ones.  There are many ideas (some reminders) for multiple ages and levels of understanding of place value. 

Refraction - fraction game

https://www.youcubed.org/refraction/

Refraction focuses on teaching fractions and discovering optimal learning pathways for math education. Refraction lets you bend, split, and redirect lasers to power spaceships filled with lost animals! Help free as many animals as you can by expanding your knowledge of fractions.

Patterns?

Check out this site to discuss patterns in math.  Good way to encourage conversation about growing and shrinking patterns. Visual Patterns
