Try our favorite K-6 tasks for free!
Our tasks give students opportunities to develop mathematical thinking through engaging with numbers, patterns, and visual problem-solving. Try them out to see how our platform builds strong mathematical foundations.
Regroup Rodeo
Invite your students to explore multi-digit addition with regrouping. Starting in the ones place, they see sums that require trading ten ones for a ten or ten tens for a hundred. Animations make regrouping visible, helping students understand what it truly means to "carry the one" while reinforcing place value.
Building Value
Build numbers within 1,000 using Base Ten Blocks in this task. Your students are challenged to build the goal value by selecting the count of 100's, 10's, and 1's needed. Building Value centers around the concept of place value, which is key to success in multi-digit addition and subtraction and beyond.
Inside Outside
Challenge your students to make sense of area and perimeter. Students can often confuse these two measures and Inside Outside provides a wonderful opportunity to see the difference! Each round your students are presented with a goal area and perimeter and they must build a polygon to match!
Rock Around the Clock
Present your students with a time of day both verbally and via a digital display. The goal is to turn the hands of the analog clock to match using context clues to select a.m. or p.m. Early rounds of this task focus hours and then half hours. Eventually quarter hours and intervals of 5 and 10 unlock and finally all hours and minutes!
Subtraction Blast
Focus on number flexibility and especially the concept of subtraction with your students! Each round starts with a goal number shown at the top of the screen, this number will also read aloud to your students. The goal is for your students to blast away the extra balls on the screen to end with the goal number of balls.
Sort It Out Fractions
Support your students to develop flexibility with fractions through card sorting. The card deck features five types of representations: shapes, clocks, number line, items, and symbols. The symbolic representations include: simplified fractions, like fractions, fractions as division, mixed numbers, fractions as decimals and "improper fractions."
Multiplication Mining
Support your students' development of number sense and procedural fluency with multiplication up through 10 x 12. In this task, your students are presented with a grid of blocks and must mine the treasures below making connections between multiplication questions and their corresponding area models.
Sort It Out Multiplication
Bridge conceptual understanding and procedural fluency of the multiplication table up through 12 x 12 with this task. Students are given a stack of cards to sort to the matching product. The deck features five representations: expressions, repeated addition, dice, area models, and factor models.
Slice 'n' Dice
Challenge your students to make sense of fractions-- the numerator and the denominator, and how these values relate to a visual representation of a fraction. While one sized denominator is sufficient in highlighting one section of the shape, an even larger denominator may be needed to decide the next fraction.
Thirsty for Thirds
Invite your students to explore the many ways ⅓ can be represented. As the shapes are divided into different numbers of equal parts, students reason about how many parts are needed to make ⅓, uncovering relationships between equivalent fractions along the way.
