Practice the skill of compare and contrast. First, show learners the different pairs of artwork in the project packet (included). Then, each learner chooses one of the pairs and finds the similarities and differences between the...

At some point the rate of change must be the average. Pupils first see the definition of the Mean Value Theorem and hear an explanation of it in simple terms. The helpful video then compares the Mean Value Theorem with the Intermediate...

Two visual problems give mathematicians a chance to compare fractions with like denominators. They examine two pairs of shapes with portions filled in, adding the greater than, less than, or equal to symbol between each. The shape pairs...

Warm up your mathematicians with this comparing numbers activity. Because it includes an explanation, consider projecting this as an all-class activity, covering up the answers until after learner responses have been shared. There are...

Comparing number value is an important skill and can become more complicated once scholars are dealing with three-digit numbers. For 10 pairs of numbers, scholars fill in a box between them with the greater than, less than, or equal to...

Learners explore some different concepts in relation to using a number line for instruction. Given some number values, they graph the position on the number line. The lesson plan ends with them playing Bingo.

In this comparing and ordering decimals worksheet, students compare numbers with decimals in them and order numbers with decimals from least to greatest. Students complete 8 problems total.

Base ten blocks serve as visual representations of numbers that include decimals to the hundredths place. Children compare and order decimals in their math journal as they build the corresponding numbers with base ten blocks.

Constructing decimals correctly is a crucial concept for elementary students to grasp. Here, have the young mathematicians in your class explore standard and expanded form while comparing decimal values. This unit is taught while...

Elementary schoolers explore place value to the millions place. They construct and evaluate the value of numbers. Working in small groups, pupils problem solve with pocket place value charts, and examine standard and expanded forms. This...

Young mathematicians mark nine specific three-digit whole numbers on a number line. They compare/contrast 20 number expressions with one of the following signs: <, >, and/or =.

Seventh graders explore the values that are used in order to describe data that is collected or given. They compare data using the statistical analysis provided by finding the mean, median, and range.

Combine your pupils' love of music with their growing knowledge of poetry! First, have them bring in their favorite songs for a discussion on word choice and literary devices. Then, use a Venn Diagram to compare and contrast the...

Examine short number sequences to help scholars explore value comparisons. They look at various given numbers (both two-digit and three-digit) and write in values that are less or more by specific one-digit numbers (i.e. three less, two...

Middle schoolers explore the concept of core democratic values. After completing a survey of student populations regarding bullying, small groups analyze their findings and present their findings to the Student Council, principal,...

Discover how mathematics can be useful in comparing strategies. Scholars develop probability distributions for situations and calculate expected value. They use their results to identify the best strategy for the situation.

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...

How can you tell if fractions have equal value? Use various collaborative activities to demonstrate the ways to determine whether or not fractions are equivalent.

It's time to crack open that piggy bank and see what's inside. First, count up the pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters, identifying what fraction of them are dimes. Then calculate the total value of the coins, writing another fraction...

Use expected values to analyze games of chance. The 15th installment of a 21-part module has young mathematicians looking at different games involving tickets and deciding which would be the best to play. They calculate expected payoffs...

Place value is a concept that sets a foundation for mathematical understanding. Ordering these sets of three- and four-digit numbers will help to strengthen that foundation. A great independent practice worksheet or short assessment to...

Your birthday can be more than just about presents; it can even teach about absolute value. The class investigates absolute value as the distance from zero on a number line. Plotting birth months and comparing each birth month to July...

Learners count by tenths, hundredths, or tens in a task that uses decimal place value strategies. The young mathematicians then use <, >, or = to make correct comparisons between expanded decimal notations.

How can you compare linear functions? The seventh installment of a 12-part module teaches learners how to compare linear functions whose representations are given in different ways. They use real-world functions and interpret features in...
