Arithmetic & Number Sense

Overview

Operations, estimation, factors, multiples, and the numeric foundation for all other math.

Lessons

Understanding Place Value
Learn how the position of a digit determines its value β€” from ones and tens to millions and beyond, including reading and writing large numbers.
Comparing and Ordering Numbers
Use mathematical symbols to compare numbers and a number line to visualize their relationships β€” essential for everyday decisions.
Addition (Core Skills)
Master the column method and regrouping (carrying) to add multi-digit numbers accurately β€” the foundation of every budget and total.
Subtraction (Core Skills)
Find the difference between quantities using borrowing and regrouping β€” the core skill behind budgeting, change-making, and tracking what's left.
Multiplication Fundamentals
Discover how multiplication scales quantities efficiently β€” from bulk pricing and hourly wages to area calculations and beyond.
Division Fundamentals
Learn to split quantities equally, interpret remainders, and use long division β€” the math behind cost-per-unit, bill splitting, and resource allocation.
Understanding Fractions (Introduction)
Build a strong foundation by learning about numerators, denominators, and why a fraction is simply another way to write division.
Working with Decimals (Introduction)
Understand how decimal points extend place value into parts smaller than one β€” the foundation of money, measurement, and precise calculation.
Percentages and Conversions (Introduction)
Understand why percent means "per hundred" and master the conversions between fractions, decimals, and percentages.
Ratios and Proportions (Introduction)
Learn to compare two quantities using ratios and scale them up or down using proportions β€” the bridge from arithmetic to algebra.
