Fifth and sixth graders compare decimals to the place-value structure in the base-ten number system. They represent fractions as parts of unit wholes, as parts of a set, as locations on a number line, and as divisions of whole numbers....

Upper elementary and middle school pupils fill out a chart creating six equivalent fractions and then compare them to six different objects and/or shapes. They group together 16 various terms related to ratios and proportions. Pupils...

A seemingly simple question that reveals a lot about a student's understanding of fractions. In finding an answer, learners compare fractions with different denominators that are both greater and less than one. No number line is...

What better way to learn about fractions than with a couple pizzas? Help Jessica figure out how much of the pizza she has eaten, while teaching your class that fractions refer to a specific whole amount. This problem will be challenging...

Here is a good fractions lesson which invites learners to fold paper strips to represent an equivalent fraction to the fraction model using chips or tiles displayed on the overhead. They arrange chips to represent a given fraction.

How many different ways can you represent a whole? In a picture that represents six parts (two of which are shaded), learners are asked to label the parts appropriately to show how three different mathematical interpretations can be...

If you run more laps, did you run further? Well, it depends. If the laps are different lengths, you need to do some math to answer that question. The goal of this task to is compare two fractions. Young learners represent the real-world...

Ddefine the relationships between fractions, decimals, and percentages in a series of lessons. The class practices converting between these three versions of a number. They also find the common factor of a numerator and denominator and...

Elementary or middle schoolers use ratios to discover some nearly constant relationships between measurements of parts of the human body. They find and record pairs of measurements and determine the relationship between the pairs. Pupils...

In the over baking fractions, students add mixed fractions, multiply decimals,, and use the order of operations to solve multi-step problems. They evaluate six problems involving mixed fractions and decimals.

Eight number lines are given, and math scholars need to place the given decimal numbers on the fraction line as accurately as possible. Each number line shows a different span of numbers. Consider having learners go through it the first...

Students graph families of equivalent fractions and compare them by observing the slope of the line formed by each fraction family. They place fractions in ascending order by comparing the slopes of each line after several families of...

You don't have to be an ancient Egyptian to decipher fractions in this activity that focuses on adding fractions with unlike denominators and developing fraction number sense. Egyptians represented fractions differently than we do. They...

Here is a lesson plan on equality of fractions designed for fourth graders. Learners work in groups and utilize fraction bars to help them work through a variety of activities. They split up into pairs and play an online game called the...

Although this fractions exercise may seem difficult at first, it's really quite simple and intended for beginners to mixed numbers. Scholars complete 15 number sequences by adding two or three mixed numbers or decimal numbers. However,...

Elementary and middle schoolers participate in an assignment to explore the concept of division and having a remainder. They also practice division problems using decimals and fractions without a remainder.

Help your learners understand dividing with fractions by using these methods to solve. Chose from two different number lines or linker cubes.  This practices "how many groups?" style division problems which help them comprehend why...

If you like to start each day with a new math challenge or warm-up, this resource is a must have. It includes 36 slides, each containing a different math challenge that stimulates algebraic reasoning, problem solving, and basic math...

While examining fractions and ratios, your leaners get to read about one of their favorite subjects: candy! There are four word problems on this worksheet. Learners consider situations in which "for every x caramels there are y...

Estimating the value of numbers is much harder than it sounds! Scholars compare and order the value of numbers presented in different forms including fractions, decimals, roots, integers, and pi. This builds on the previous lessons in...

Which number comes next? The great part about this number sequencing activity is that it increases in difficulty so some learners who aren't challenged by the first few will definitely meet their match with the last couple. In each of...
