Instructions on how to use this page in your classroom Help Caillou Build a Train Track - When Caillou asks "Do you want to play with me?", click on the train. Match patterns of track pieces to let the passengers get to the train station. Missing Numbers - find the missing numbers in a sequence Number Cracker - guess what number comes next in the pattern Patterns - this video lesson explains patterns, and then gives your students the chance to show understanding on several quizzes. Spooky Sequences - One of the ghosts is missing a number. Click on the numbers along the bottom to enter the right number in the sequence. ( square numbers ) Spooky Sequences - One of the ghosts is missing a number. Click on the numbers along the bottom to enter the right number in the sequence. (triangular numbers) Spooky Sequences - One of the ghosts is missing a number. Click on the numbers along the bottom to enter the right number in the sequence. one digit numbers (by ones ) | two digit numbers (by ones) | three digit numbers (by ones) | counting by twos | counting by fives | counting by tens | backward by ones | backward by twos | backward by fives | backward by tens Super Sequencer - Input the starting number of a sequence, the increment (amount of change), and then select the speed with which the next numbers will be displayed. an your students predict the next number? What Comes Next? - study repeating patterns and click on the one that continues the pattern Wolf, Goat, and Cabbage - Old Russian Puzzle: You have to carry a wolf, a goat, and a cabbage across a river.
Identify the unit of a three-part repeating pattern. 2.2.2 b
Translate a repeating pattern from one format to another (e.g., red-blue-blue to snap-clap-clap). 2.2.2 c
Determine the output number for a particular input number given a one-operation rule involving addition or subtraction. 2.2.2 d	Ambleweb Function Machine - students identify what process was used to produce a sequence of numbers (twelve processes available)
Interpret and solve open sentences that involve addition or subtraction. 2.2.3 a	My Backpack - Students add columns and find missing addends using data generated from a chart. Sum Sense (Addition) - Students practice single digit addition by dragging numbers to complete the sentence. Sum Sense (Subtraction) - Students practice single digit subtraction by dragging numbers to complete the sentence. Walrus World - learn strategies for solving real world problems
Communicate and use mathematical terms and symbols appropriately. 2.2.3 b
Show or represent number sentences, involving addition and subtraction and numbers 0-20, with concrete objects. 2.2.3 c	Matching Pictures to Number Sentences - study each picture and then click on the number sentence that describes the picture
Demonstrate knowledge of and use the commutative property of addition. 2.2.4 a
Show that subtraction is not commutative. 2.2.4 b
Apply the addition and subtraction properties of 0 (adding or subtracting 0 doesn't change a given number). 2.2.4 c
Describe qualitative change (e.g., a student growing taller). 2.2.5 a
Describe quantitative change (e.g., a student growing 2 inches in 1 year). 2.2.5 b
