 The FREE Brick Math Lesson of the Month for December 2025 is in response to a question from a teacher: "Can you help me explain regrouping to my students?" We certainly can! Decomposing is another term for regrouping, and this lesson helps student understand the concept. The lesson comes from Brick Math Addition. To get this lesson, click here, and you'll also get a new free Brick Math lesson every month after that.  It's important that students start thinking in terms of groups of ten as early as possible, since our number system is base ten. The lesson here shows students how to add, and it also shows the answer in terms of ten. The problem adds the numbers 4 and 9, and shows the answer as 10 + 3, or 13.  Students will use this knowledge as they move forward learning to add and subtract. Using bricks to model the base ten concepts makes them easy for students to understand, and also makes it easy for teachers to teach! The lesson starts with the Teacher lesson plans for the first four pages, followed by the three corresponding pages in the Student workbook. Try this lesson of the month with your students to see the power of Brick Math in action!  The Brick Math curriculum is divided into 13 separate content areas: Counting, Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, Division, Basic Fractions, Basic Measurement, Fraction Multiplication, Fraction Division, Advanced Measurement and Geometry, Decimals, Data and Statistics, and Pre-Algebra.
Students can start anywhere in the curriculum. Brick Math can be used as a complete math curriculum or brought in as a supplement to help students who aren't having math success with other programs. Check BrickMath.com to learn more!
