NASA presents a mini-unit on distances in our solar system. It incorporates scientific concepts of gravity, mass, density, and payload while your aspiring astronauts also employ mathematics skills. They calculate speed, they determine...

Kids love to cook! What is a better place to learn mixed numbers than with a recipe? It is up to learners to decide how they want to divide this recipe in half. They may choose to model the mixed number and then divide the model by two....

This unit on fractions allows for upper-aged elementary learners to explore ways to find the greatest common factor and least common multiple of two numbers. Ultimately, young mathematicians will be able to identify equivalent fractions,...

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.

Straight from the pages of a math textbook, this three-lesson series introduces young mathematicians to the world of integers. Starting with a definition of integers and their applications in the real world, this resource goes on to...

Using the concept of a candy vending machine, young mathematicians explore the sugar ratios found in different types of candy. Using the provided information, class members calculate and compare different ratios in...

Pictures, number lines, decimal equivalents, or Cuisenaire rods can be used to show insight into the meaning of multiplying fractions.Here, Alisa drinks 3/4 of 1/2 liter of juice. To find the total volume of the juice that Alisa...

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...

Prime and composite numbers are the focus of this mathematics lesson. In it, learners practice techniques for identifying these two types of numbers. They utilize the Inspiration program to complete a task that is clearly explained, and...

Using a simple technique, learners practice identifying integers on a number line. As numbers, both positive and negative, are pointed to, they name them. This could be part of anticipatory set before a lesson on integers.

Need more detail in showing your class how to solve two-step equations and proportions? This lesson plan outlines the steps young mathematicians need to solve simple equations and check their results.
