Students explore tessellations. In this shapes and geometry lesson, students describe the attributes of many of the shapes displayed on an Elmo. Students create examples of tessellations using pattern blocks.

Third graders determine that the larger the denominator the more parts the whole is being divided into. They use fractions to communicate and compare parts of the whole. They discover what the numerator and denominator of a fraction...

Dealing with decimals in your fourth grade class? Make them easy to understand with a straightforward worksheet, which instructs youngsters to put groups of decimals in order from smallest to largest. A great way to review place value...

Students add or subtract fraction parts of mixed numbers before adding or subtracting the whole number parts. In this fractions instructional activity, students learn to use a ruler to help them add and subtract fractions with like...

Roll the dice with this activity and teach young mathematicians about probability. Record outcomes for rolling two number cubes in order to determine what is most likely to happen. Graph the data and investigate patterns in the results,...

Learners practice adding and subtracting numbers with decimals. In this decimals lesson plan, students use grid paper and money to learn how to add and subtract decimals.

A learning task that involves creative ways of thinking permits children to use paper models as a way to visualize the fraction one-half. Learners can fold or cut their models in such a way that the unshaded regions, and shaded...

Dive into the number line. Learners play a computer game that revolves around a number line as they try to collect pearls by diving at locations on a number line. As the game progresses, dive locations change from simple whole numbers to...

Practice place value skills with this lesson. Learners put numbers in order from greatest to least, identify the values of particular numbers, and engage in an activity to compare numbers using manipulatives.

Students place fractions and decimals with unlike values in correct numerical order.

Third graders observe two fractions and write the numbers in order from least to greatest referring to the sheet with different fractions they have before them to help them decide which one is smaller. Time allowing, they practice...

Students take an Internet field trip to research fractions. ESOL strategies include using pattern block manipulatives and pairing ESOL and non-ESOL students on computers.

Students build knowledge about the number relationships between decimals and percents as it relates to converting decimals into percents. In this decimal and percent lesson, students recognize equivalent forms of fractions,...

Students play "Fraction Line Up," a game to compare fractions with unlike denominators with the use of a deck of cards. After the game, each player explains one of the strategies that was helpful to him/her during the game. In...

In this math worksheet, students solve the problems with fractions by comparing them with others. The sheet is intended as a teacher's guide.

Students identify the two-dimensional geometric shapes Lowrey utilized in the painting Untitled. Students compare the two-dimensional shapes in terms of equivalent fractions, congruency, symmetry and asymmetry. Students create their own...

Students collect data to create different types of graphs-line, pie, and bar graphs. They use StarOffice 6.0 to create graphs.

Young scholars engage in a lesson that is concerned with the standard of comparing the quantities of whole numbers using different strategies from the concrete to the abstract. They count objects and compare them, use symbols of...

Third graders take turns rolling the die, and selects an appropriate place to put the digit that was rolled in order to create a number with the largest value possible. They compete by trying to roll the highest valued number with the die.

Third graders make models of fractions and mixed numbers. Using fraction strips and drawing pictures, 3rd graders develop conceptual understanding of the equivalent forms. Students use the number line to represent and compare...

Pupils create fractions using strips of paper and then compare the fractions.

Third graders complete math problems.  For this place value lesson, 3rd graders solve problems that require them to write the place value of a number in expanded form and identify the place value and expanded form of three digit...

It's assessment time! Determine your young mathematicians' understanding of elapsed time with this brief, five-question quiz.

Students use fraction circles to observe fractions in smaller parts and to complete charting and word problem activities. In this fraction lesson plan, students complete chart problems, word problems, and fraction comparing problems...
