Find patterns in the process instead of the result. Learners convert series of decimals and fractions identifying patterns along the way. The lesson includes nine problem tasks with progressively more involved patterns.

Develop your pupils' understanding of fractions and their decimal equivalence using the 12th lesson plan in this series. Scholars learn an alternative to long division that results in converting fractions to decimals that emphasize...

Create your own fraction kits by folding and labeling paper using fraction vocabulary. Learners then work in groups to use these in comparing and sequencing both whole numbers and fractions. They also create unit cubes and develop an...

Is it possible to add infinitely long decimals? As pupils complete the examples in the ninth instructional activity of this 25-part series, they determine that adding these decimals cannot be done without error. Their task is then to...

Determine the level of understanding of decimal and fraction values within your classes with a resource that provides pupils with opportunities to practice with decimal and fraction concepts. 

Build a solid understanding of rational number relationships by asking class members to use various skills to order decimals, fractions, and numeric power expressions. Using the resource, they find that the fractions do not have an...

What does geometry have to do with depression? It's an angle of course! Learners apply the tangent ratio to problem solving questions by finding missing lengths. Problems include angles of elevation and angles of depression. Pupils make...

Far out — plan a trip to space! Aspiring mathematicians steer a space vehicle through an asteroid field, calculate currency exchanges to buy provisions, and determine placement of charges to blow up asteroids. Along the way, they learn...

Compare Beethoven's fifth symphony to latin music and disco. Learners will listen to and discuss the elements found in the first part of Beethoven's composition. They'll then look for the same elements in Tito Puente and Bee Gees songs....

Students explore number values by completing mathematical worksheets in class. For this decimals lesson, students identify the different place values a number has and the use of decimals to represent a fraction of a number. Students...

Learners solve problems involving fractions, decimals and percents. In this algebra lesson, students examine the relationship between fractions and percents and between decimals and percents. They convert between percents, decimals and...

Math pupils, by viewing a video, discover the history of pi and some of the applications of its uses in the world today. They conduct an experiment by measuring the diameter and circumference of various circular objects to calculate...

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.

Young scholars explore the concept of similarity and congruence. In this similarity and congruence lesson, students cut out strips of paper and form a triangle. Young scholars try to prove that their triangles are congruent using the SSS...

Students convert between decimals and percents. In this algebra lesson, students define percent as it relates to sales and tax. They calculate the percents of number using multiplication.

Pupils calculate the theoretical and empirical probability by dropping coins on a grid. They record their data and compare the theoretical and empirical data. Students make predictions about the results before conducting the experiment.

Young scholars investigate probability. They will define probability as the likelihood of an event occurring. Then, they determine the probability of sitting in a particular seat on a plane. They also set up ratios of various seating...

Students complete their examination over the Jewish Diaspora. Using population figures, they discover the importance of percentages in exploring trends. They use their own ethnic group and determine how it is represented in the United...

Sixth graders study the probability of single events. Given a bag of marbles, they discuss and find the probability of single events. In groups of two, 6th graders complete additional activities, predicting the probability. Students...
