Students convert fractions, decimals, mixed numbers and percents. In this fraction lesson, students use models to understand the conversion process. They then work in groups to find the fraction, percent, and decimal expressions for each...

Learners analyze the real number system. They discuss real numbers, rational and irrational numbers, integers, whole numbers, natural numbers and more of the real number in the system. They differentiate between all these numbers.

In this fractions worksheet, students look at a graph showing a particular amount shaded; from this, they select the best choice representing the portion shaded. There are three different graphs to identify.

Students collect data and compare whether protective coloration or camouflage provides better biological fitness in a given environment. They simulate predator prey interactions of two different species and use gene frequencies to...

Seventh graders, in groups, complete an Isotopes model and notice that atomic masses are decimal numbers. These masses are an average of all the isotopes of that element.

Students design a wheel that can go down the ramp with the smallest moment of inertia. In this technology instructional activity, students construct their model using a computer program. They calculate the moment of inertia of their...

Students compare fractions and decimals while playing a game and order fractions and decimals found on the number cubes to create a number line. They then play a game called the Fraction Decimal Toss.

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...

In this analyzing solutions activity, students use Euler's Method to estimate the value of given functions. They estimate solutions using the piecewise-linear function model and sketch the information onto a graph. This two-page...

Second graders explore number values by completing estimation problems in class. In this place value lesson plan, 2nd graders identify the use of decimals in numbers and how they relate to fractions or parts of a whole. Students utilize...

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

Fourth graders complete activities to study decimal numbers. In this decimal numbers lesson plan, 4th graders study decimal numbers to express numbers less than one and intervals. Students complete map and location activities to study...

Pupils observe and discuss cloud cover. They identify percent of cloud cover, calculate cloud cover by fraction and convert to a percent, and compare their models with the current real sky cloud cover.

Students use measurement tools to measure the nearest 16th of an inch. They connect fractions and their decimal equivalents and compare this with other decimals. Finally, the class uses algebraic concepts and formulas to solve problems.

Sixth graders conduct a survey and collect data to construct a bar graph that will then be changed into a circle graph. With the bar graph, 6th graders compare estimated fractions and percentages and estimate percentages. With the circle...

An excellent way to reinforce math vocabulary in your classroom! Seventy-eight posters focus on number and number sense, computation and estimation, measurement, geometry, probability and statistics, and patterns, functions, and algebra.

Learners make predictions and draw conclusions from given information as they learn the meaning of probability in this vocabulary-rich, integrated activity that presents a variety of teaching strategies to motivate and reach...

Exponential functions are the name of the game. Young mathematicians can work through each of the eight worksheets by evaluating functions, applying logarithms, completing logarithmic functions, and building inverse functions. This...

Explore the practical uses of adding numbers with decimals as scholars add measurements and money. The first 12 equations are written vertically with half the sums requiring a dollar sign and half a unit of measurement. The next six are...

In this math review worksheet, 3rd graders answer multiple choice questions about measurement, the calendar, money, and more. Students complete 25 questions.
