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

Challenge individuals to compete as many tasks as possible. Lower-level tasks have pupils apply costs and rates to solve problems. Upper-level tasks add algebraic reasoning and conditional probability to the tasks.

Here is one of the better lessons I've come across on how to teach fractions and decimals. This instructional activity does a great job of showing how these two mathematical representations of numbers are interrelated. Some excellent...

A thoroughly-written lesson plan and a plethora of worksheets about integers comprise this resource. Neophyte number crunchers learn to recognize integers, add and subtract them, and apply the concepts to the designing of a personal...

Sixth graders inspect M&M's to complete statistical data. Students interpret percent of colors represented. They convert data from decimals, fractions, and percents. Using the data, 6th graders create a bar graph and a circle graph.

The real value of education is highlighted in more than one way on a worksheet designed to not only add, subtract, multiply, and divide decimals to hundredths, but also to address the correlation between higher pay...

Young scholars convert between fractions and decimals. In this algebra lesson, students investigate fractions and differentiate between largest and smallest fractions. They add fractions and decimals using a common denominator.

Students explore consumer math by participating in estimate exercises. In this currency lesson plan, students identify and define each piece of U.S. currency and their value to the monetary system. Students complete several money...
