Students create a set of fraction circles using a paper folding technique. They fold 10 inch circles of paper into the indicated fractions, identify the fractions, and use them to show equivalency.

Explore equivalent fractions! Youngters measure the crown of their head with adding tape labeled with various fractions and fractional parts, and compare strips to notice numerical relationships. They fold adding tape in half and color...

Children explore fractions on a conceptual level by making individual quilt squares. Each student works with small paper swatches to divide them into pieces that represent a given fraction. The class is then separated into groups and...

A complete lesson on dividing whole numbers by other whole numbers and getting a fraction result. Groups of learners use fractions bars, and strips of paper that are cut to specific lengths. The hands-on activities in the lesson are...

Students discover fractions by creating models. In this fractions lesson, students read Give Me Half! by Stuart J. Murphy and view a video about what fractions actually represent. Students divide a square piece of paper a certain amount...

Learners study fractions. In this art lesson, students fold paper, use origami, making new shapes and discuss the area of the shapes created.

Students use paper cups and colored chips to observe properties of operations with real numbers. As a class, students brainstorm and use manipulatives to demonstrate associative, commutative, distributive identity and inverse properties....

Exploring mathematics through art is a fun and concrete way to help learners grasp a concept. They will construct a paper penguin using fractions cut from circles. They'll need to determine 1/8, 1/4, and 1/2 of each circle. Once the...

Students create counting books. In this counting book activity, students make their own book which counts on each page and has a corresponding picture. These books can count by 1's, 2's, 5's, or even fractions. 

Young scholars wall line dance given specific steps given to them by the teacher.

Third graders investigate symmetry by reflecting objects in different angles. In this geometrical transformation lesson, 3rd graders define the terms translation, rotation and reflection in order to physically turn geometric...

Fifth graders investigate factors by utilizing mathematical terms.   In this number sense instructional activity, 5th graders discuss and define terms such as factors, multiples, and denominators.  Students create a Venn...
