Pupils note the similarities between decimals, fractions and percentages. They practice converting numbers between these types. They participate in an activity as well.

Learners use ratios and proportions to represent quantitative relationships as they investigate the concept of how percentages are used by designers. Students decorate the same room using three different percentages of colors.

Review operations related to rational numbers and integers using the include PowerPoint presentation, "Interesting Integers." Young mathematicians classify rational numbers as being natural, whole, or integers and read an article about...

Scholars view the video, "Donald Duck in Mathmagic Land," and discuss examples in nature which have proportions of the golden ratio. They measure and record different body lengths from a worksheet and convert the ratios to equivalent...

In this measurement conversion worksheet, students answer multiple choice questions about conversions of fractions, minutes, percentages and more. Students complete 10 questions total.

For this mental methods worksheet, students determine the correct answer when multiplying fractions, percents and decimals. They use mental math to solve problems.

In this ratios worksheet, learners are given the percentages and have to provide the ratios, fractions, and decimals for each number. Students complete 40 problems.

The 15th lesson in the series of 24 helps your classes understand the ppm (part per million) unit of measure. First, scholars experiment with food coloring to determine concentrations before applying their findings to calculate...

Students create and give oral proposals for the construction of a gazebo using a blueprint created with Geometer's Sketchpad. They then build a gazebo model using the blueprints created and provide evidence why it should be selected for...
