Second graders use blocks to show the addition and subtraction of fractions with common denominators. They identify the steps in these functions and complete a worksheet.

Students study the concept of fraction using mathematical reasoning. In this problem solving fraction lesson, students use various methods to explain their reasoning in solving fractions. Students use a number of different prompts to...

Fifth graders use various internet sites to complete math programs where they identify different representations of mixed numbers. In this mixed numbers lesson plan, 5th graders practice math before hand and then go on the computers in...

Students define properties of fractions and solve for them. In this algebra lesson, students rewrite fractions from mixed numbers to improper fractions. They reduce fractions using the GCF and convert the denominators correctly when...

Third graders use fractions to describe part of a set. In this fractions lesson, 3rd graders are introduced to fractions through a book and use pattern blocks to describe a fraction as a part of a set. This lesson includes a scripted...

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.

Pupils play a math game. In this decimals and fractions instructional activity, they use base ten blocks to practice converting between decimals and fractions. Everyone plays a game called Decimal War to practice these concepts.

Students engage in hands-on activities and observe videos to develop fraction skills. In one activity, they create "paper pizzas" complete with original toppings. By swapping pieces, students display whole and unique-looking pizzas.

Students solve real-world problems related to medical careers. They use graphical representations as part of the problem-solving process and work with fractions, decimals, exponents, and metric measurement. A demonstration is included to...

Students develop an understanding of patterns and symmetry. For this symmetry and pattern lesson, students use real world patterns then analyze and extend them. Students also use real world items while discovering and observing...

Students use clock arithmetic to find remainders. In this patterns in math lesson, students explore the relationship between clock arithmetic and remainders using a computer applet. Students also identify patterns in Pascal's triangle...

Eighth graders explore representing fractions as ratios and proportions. They model proportions through the use of blocks, LEGO gears and activities with bicycle gears and pedals. Students work with bicycle gear boxes to observe and...

Young scholars work on multiplication problems. In this hands-on math instructional activity, students practice the concept of multiplication through manipulatives, arrays, pictures, and drawings. They discover other ways of learning...

First graders engage in using base ten blocks and dice for a fun engaging math lesson. They use a worksheet imbedded in this lesson as the game board to help them play this math game.

Students practice fraction skills online at the "Want Some Pizza" website. They complete activities via the internet and on square grid paper. They pull down tabs to check their answers.

Second graders write and solve story problems which involve whole numbers, using addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division. They solve multiplication problems by using strategies other than counting all. They interpret and solve...

Pupils toss candy and coins using their non-dominant hand while their partners records the results on a probability charts.

In this site, pattern blocks are used to explore fractional relationships among shapes.

Explore multiplication by modeling problems and grouping with manipulatives. This video focuses on multiplying whole numbers by unit fractions and modeling the problems with unit blocks.
