In this math instructional activity, students solve 25 single-digit division problems. Students use their answers to solve the following riddle: Why are potatoes such good detectives?

This activity has a little of everything. Compare fractions, determine if numbers are less than, greater than, or equal to. Then practice lining up the decimals to add and subtract decimal numbers. Then multiply decimals remembering to...

Students multiply by one-digit whole numbers.

Sixth graders identify how fractions and decimals both illustrate parts of a whole. They estimate which number is greater by comparing them to the given fraction and use greater than or less than symbols for each.

Sometimes all it takes for a good review is a game of cards. Review the processes needed to add, subtract, divide, and multiply integers. In groups, learners play the card game war with a twist. They can use the numbers as either...

Looking for a different way to introduce long division? Need a shortcut for checking multiplication answers? Then this is for you! The multiplication method uses a quick trick to check for accuracy. The division method allows learners to...

Composed of three word problems, this math activity exposes young mathematicians to relationships present in multiplication and division. The first problem is most useful with a tape diagram in which learners are working with equal-sized...

In this math word problems instructional activity, students solve math word problems about division, fractions, and money. Students complete 3 word problems.

Learners work in pairs during this activity to explore even and odd numbers. Each pair is given a bag of candy which they have to count and divide up. If each partner has the same amount the number is even, if one is left over then the...

Learners answer the question how many of a certain number are in another number by dividing two-digit numbers by one-digit numbers. They complete 10 problems.

Teach your learners to solve word problems. They will review how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide with decimals. Then they solve multiple problems.

Students translate problem situations into diagrams, models, and numerals using whole numbers, fractions, mixed numbers, decimals, and percents. They identify that numbers in different forms are equivalent or not equivalent using whole...

An easy way to introduce numerical patterns, these activities can be made simpler by using addition, or more difficult with division, fractions, and percentages. Children examine patterns and determine the missing number in the sequence....

Plot data using the number line and discuss how negative numbers are used in math and science. Sixth and seventh graders share their graph with the class and provide an explanation for their plotting.

Sixth and seventh graders compare and order integers. After locating integers in a newspaper, they describe examples of negative and positive integers. They draw a thermometer and locate positive and negative integers on the scale. In...

While only a simple presentation about the concept of less than and greater than, it could be used in a classroom with Spanish speakers to present this topic. Within the series of slides, the idea of less than and greater than is...

Provide your remedial math students with a handy packet that will help them practice prime factorization, exponents and roots, and multiplication and division of fractions. The packet includes 20 pages, bright images, and answer keys....

There's nothing negative about this mini-unit on integers! Engaging young mathematicians in a series of hands-on activities and collaborative learning opportunities, this resource offers an excellent way to introduce your class...

Jump into equivalent fractions using these fun scenarios for mathematicians to solve. First, they use geoboards to find different ways to divide a rectangle in half. Then, an alien from the planet Fractional is after one half of their...

Show the class how to find the factors of numbers. They use a variety of strategies, including unifix cubes, to find the factors of a whole number. This resource includes clear procedure to follow. Included are an anticipatory set,...

Bring some concrete reasoning to the skills of multiplying and combining terms. Using various strategies, the six activities in the module provide practice for the skills of adding, subtracting, multiplying, and diving polynomials. The...

There's a lot to remember when it comes to math concepts. Help scholars get a head-start to learning division with a reference page offering divisibility rules for the numbers two, three, four, five, six, eight, nine, and 10. 

Be sure to place value on place value understanding. Young mathematicians learn to divide decimals by whole numbers when compatible numbers are not available. They use place value discs in place value charts, then connect this strategy...

Remainders don't need to remain a mystery. The 16th of 18 parts in Grade 5 Math Module 1 continues the study of dividing decimals by a whole number. Scholars see how to rename the remainder to a smaller unit, such as when dividing 1.7 or...
