Elementary schoolers work to develop a deeper understanding of fractions. They use a handout about various gold pieces and attempt to divide them evenly. Then they watch a video clip that watched the CyberSquad solve the gold puzzle....

It's more than just numbers on a line, its an organizational, mental math machine to help learners understand the value of numbers. The tool is handy when introducing positive and negative integers to see their values and...

Create models to demonstrate multiplication and division of fractions. Using fraction tiles to model fractions, pupils explore fractions on a ruler and use pattern blocks to multiply and divide. They also create number lines with fractions.

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.

Introduce line plots, show examples of tables, graphing on a number line, and engage in a class discussion. Share the process by which statistical data is organized and displayed on a number line. Examples and worksheets are included....

Division can be seen in two ways; as splitting a whole into a certain number of pieces, or splitting it into pieces of a certain size. Help your class reach this understanding with these two simple word problems. Encourage the use of...

Here is a great lesson that incorporates movement into academic learning. Learners improve addition subtraction skills by using number lines and locomotor movement.

Help your learners understand dividing with fractions by using these methods to solve. Chose from two different number lines or linker cubes.  This practices "how many groups?" style division problems which help them comprehend why...

Use a unit approach in developing a fraction division strategy. The teacher leads a discussion on division containing units, resulting in a connection between the units and like denominators. Pupils develop a rule in dividing fractions...

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...

No more inverting and multiplying to divide fractions. Applying concepts of measurement division from the previous lesson, pupils consider partitive division using fraction bars and number lines. They first convert fractions to like...

Your sixth and seventh graders deepen their understanding of a number line and adding integers in this concrete, hands-on activity. Learners play "Warehouse Puzzle" and then discuss their game strategies and the characteristics...

Students investigate the concepts of expressions and equations while defining the similarities and differences. They explore the operations by using a number line and record answers while working with the teacher. Students play the game...

Connect division with multiplication through the use of models. Groups solve problems involving the division of a whole number by a fraction using models. The groups share their methods along with the corresponding division and...

Fifth and sixth graders compare decimals to the place-value structure in the base-ten number system. They represent fractions as parts of unit wholes, as parts of a set, as locations on a number line, and as divisions of whole numbers....

Use a tape diagram to emulate the steps of solving equations. The 23rd installment in a 25-part unit presents two-step linear equation problems to solve. Pupils use tape diagrams to solve the problems along with linear equations. To...

Here is an introduction to solving simultaneous linear equations. Start by drawing a line through two points. Create a second line which goes through the intersecting point. Background knowledge of how to find the equation of a line and...

Need more detail in showing your class how to solve two-step equations and proportions? This lesson plan outlines the steps young mathematicians need to solve simple equations and check their results. 

Divide fractions just like a model does. Pupils visualize the division of a fraction by a whole number by creating models. Scholars make the connection between dividing by a whole number and multiplication before practicing the skill...

What does translating points on a number line have to do with solving inequalities? Young mathematicians first learn about translations of points on a number line, and then use this information to solve linear inequalities in one variable.

Students explore number sense by completing math function problems in class. In this integers activity, students define integers and practice plotting them on a number line. Students utilize math functions such as addition and...

Apply, apply, apply! A measurement lesson applies a number of concepts to help learn a new construction. Scholars learn to divide a segment into n equal parts using a method that uses the Side Splitter Theorem and a method that...

Students practice dance to divide the space or body shape into equal sections to create symmetry in dance. In this symmetry lesson, students practice symmetrical and asymmetrical movements in dance. Students participate in move and...

Fifth graders analyze how to divide space or shape into mirror sections to create lines of symmetry. In this lines of symmetry lesson plan, 5th graders discuss symmetry in dance, math, and living. Students participate in a dance warm-up...
