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

Math novices examine how math can help them in real-world situations. They listen to the book The Math Curse by Jon Scieszka, solve various word problems from the book, explore various math websites, write original math word problems,...

Explore the application of fractions in a real-life situation. Learners manipulate an interactive simulation to model a given scenario. They find fractions of fractions and explain the importance of the part-to-whole comparison.

Explore the connection between fractions and rational expressions. Young scholars manipulate fractions with unlike denominators to find a total. Challenge questions allow them to check their work to ensure they are correct.

By creating a list of factors for two numbers, it is easier to see the greatest common factor. Each question in an interactive resource asks pupils to identify the greatest common factor for the numbers 24 and 36 in several...

Discover how to find a midpoint with a conceptual exploration. Scholars manipulate a point to determine the location of a midpoint on a straight line distance between two locations. Later questions extend to determine the...

Sharing is caring—especially with brownies! Young mathematicians use an interactive to split a batch of brownies between several friends given constraints. They answer some challenge questions to check that each friend has the correct...

A five-question interactive boosts scholars' knowledge of decimals and mixed numbers. Moveable base 10 blocks assist mathematicians in answering a series of multiple-choice and true or false questions. A discussion concludes the...

There's nothing irrational about this lesson. Explore the process of multiplying rational expressions through discovery. A well-designed lesson has learners factor and multiply rational expressions by dragging factors to the correct...

Discover how the distributive property applies to division. As learners change numeric values within an expression, the simulation calculates its value. Challenge questions lead individuals to realize the power of distributing the...

Using the interactive, pupils create a pie chart that represents the percentage of sodas bought for a party. Individuals need to determine the percentage and number for the final variety of drinks. The learners determine how the...

Five questions—multiple-choice, true or false, and a discussion—make up an interactive that focuses on decimals as mixed numbers. Moveable blocks assist scholars in finding solutions. 

Decimal place value is the topic of a Battleship themed-interactive. Scholars answer five questions—multiple-choice and true or false—while referencing a grid that acts as the board game. The practice concludes with a discussion...

Mathematicians answer five questions about percents, ratios, and proportions with help from an interactive graduated cylinder. Question types include multiple-choice, fill-in-the-blank, and discussion. 

Pupils determine the probability of one mayoral candidate winning given the other's chance. The interactive provides a circle graph to help visualize each candidate's percentages of winning.

Students compare and contrast the rhythms of marches and jazz. They watch an excerpt about Buddy Bolden from the PBS Ken Burns Jazz documentary, compare/contrast march and jazz rhythms, complete a worksheet, and notate and perform jazz...
