In this multiplying mixed numbers worksheet, students with a partner problem solve and calculate the answers to ten word problems and mathematical equations.

In the fraction/decimal learning exercise, students read about how to write decimals as fractions, fractions as decimals and about mixed numbers, then solve 12 problems. Houghton Mifflin text is referenced.

Explore fractions using different manipulatives and illustrations. Your class can create a variety of models of fractions and mixed numbers with drawings and manipulatives. They then work to compare fractions, mixed numbers, and whole...

Investigate equivalent fractions with your class. They compare and order fractions. Then they work cooperatively in groups to experiment and problem solve with fractions using a game format. Multiple resources are provided.

Hooray for chocolate chip cookies! Ask your mathematicians to triple a chocolate chip cookie recipe and then reduce the recipe by one-fourth. Your class may need two days to complete, tripling the recipe the first day and reducing the...

Compare fractions  with these visual examples, all of which have like denominators. There are five pairs of shapes here with various portions shaded. Each pair is segmented into the same number of sections, so comparing is much...

Each of these five models represents one of the fractions listed; challenge your scholars to match them up. The models consist of shapes divided into squares with the total number of squares as the denominator and a colored portion as...

Sixth graders create a human number line. They determine the correct placement of various numbers ranging from -4 to 4. Additionally, they will determine the placement of numbers written as fractions and/or decimals.

In this comparing and ordering fractions and mixed numbers practice worksheet, students sharpen their problem solving skills as they solve 6 story problems.

Learners solve word problems using number sense. They convert fractions to decimals and mixed numbers. Pupils determine if a given fraction is greater or less than another fraction, and order numbers on a number line.

Young scholars play a fraction game.  In this improper and mixed fractions instructional activity, students discuss the fractions 1/3, 4/3 and 1 1/3.  Young scholars learn about the differences between proper fractions,...

In this mathematics worksheet, 5th graders find the least common denominator of each fraction. Then they write equivalent fractions using the LCD and compare the numerators of the new fractions.

In this finding the differences worksheet, students compare, regroup, subtract, simplify, and subtract to solve the mixed number problems. Students solve four problems.

Mental math strategies are important for fifth graders to be able to determine the greater sum without actually solving the equations. As a summative assessment, this eight-problem worksheet can give insight into the understanding of the...

To practice multiplying fractions and mixed numbers, students choose a starting whole number and multiply it by a mixed number. Students then answer a number of questions about ratios for different problems. This activity is intended for...

In this fraction comparisons activity, 5th graders solve the 15 fraction comparison problems. Students solve fractions that contain like and unlike fractions as well as mixed numbers.

For many young children it seems obvious that longer objects are heavier than shorter objects. This assumption is put to the test as the class investigates the relationship between length and weight in a whole-group activity. Using a...

Learners demonstrate fractions and mixed numbers using concrete pictorial models of pizza. They relate symbols to the models.

What are fractions? Find out using a reference page and video that goes in depth on how to make fractions equivalent, write fractions in simplest form, convert improper fractions into mixed numbers, and vice versa. Following...

Whether you have your class plant seeds or begin when sprouts are visible, math skills are used here to predict and track growth over time. Straw bar graphs show plant height on a given day while the graph as a whole shows changes over...

In this solving various types of math problems instructional activity, learners add and compare totals, estimate and solve sums, determine reasonableness of an answer, and fill in missing numbers in number sentences. Students solve four...

Measure your pupil's learning in a lesson designed to explore decimals by weighing different candies on a scale and recording the weight. Small groups then compare and order the decimal weights on a number line to show their...
