Fifth graders participate in a lesson that is concerned with the concept of telling the differences between a fraction, decimal, and percent. There is a good example of conversion in the lesson.

Fifth graders practice working with mixed numbers and fractions. They practice conversions with problems changing fractions to mixed numbers or mixed numbers to fractions. Examples are included in the lesson plan.

Eighth graders participate in a lesson that is concerned with reviewing basic math concepts using the four operations. The activity is composed of a math game that is played by them.

Fifth graders participate in a lesson that is focused on rounding and estimating using word problems. They review how to read word problems, find the right operator, and use the new skills to solve problems.

Fifth graders participate in a lesson that is concerned with the mastery of math concepts related to probability. They play a math game that is an adaptation from Rock, Paper, and Scissors.

Young scholars inspect solving equations with one variable. Through the use of a scale balance, they examine the importance of equality in an equation. By playing a balance game with figurines and a scale, students discover methods of...

Fifth graders locate points on a coordinate plane. Through lecture and observation, they discover the parts of the coordinate plane and how to plot an ordered pair. Students locate x and y values in an ordered pair.

Seventh graders participate in a instructional activity that focuses on having them solve different proportions. The instructional activity includes an example that the teacher can work from in order to deliver direct instruction.

Students find the percent of increase or percent of decrease. Through a teacher demonstration, they examine the methods of calculating percentages. Students solve real life problems.

Seventh graders compare and order decimals. Given a set of integers, they compare them using inequalities. In groups, 7th graders participate in hands-on decimal activities. Using string, paper clips and decimal cards, classmates...

Sixth graders explore line segments, rays, parallel, perpendicular and intersecting lines. The teacher discusses, with the class, real life items that represent each geometric idea studied. They use cotton balls, strings and popsicle...

Fifth graders use prime factorization to identify prime and composite numbers. They use cubes to find factors. In groups, 5th graders draw rectangular arrays to discover prime numbers under 100.

Sixth graders investigate the concept of an angle. They classify an angle according to its type. The lesson has students practice with acute, right, and obtuse angles. A unique part is when telling time using clock hands is related to...

Fifth graders explore equivalent fractions. In groups, classmates follow instructions to tear paper into fractional parts. Students brainstorm real life items that are equivalent. They model and identify equivalent fractions using...

Fifth graders explore the multiplication of fractions. Using paper folds, 5th graders observe multiplying by a fraction. They extrapolate multiplication problems from studying a written graphic.

Fifth graders investigate the use of patterns in a data set. The set is disolayed visually using cubes. This helps struggling students to see the quantity in order to make comparisons more effectively.

Fifth graders identify different angles according to its type that is determined according to taking a measurement of the degree. They also explore the vocabulary related to the concept.

Fifth graders examine fractional parts of pie graphs. Given a bag of M&Ms, 5th graders interpret the data. They use a paper plate and colors to create a graph of the types of M&Ms represented.

Fifth graders explore the context of how and when to use tangrams in geometry. They create and draw a number of different geometric figures using tangrams. Students work on their visual spatial skills.

Fifth graders investigate the concept of a function in relationship to how it is used. The concept is essential for the future study of Algebra. They apply the use of patterns with its relationship to functions.

Fifth graders investigate the concepts of combinations and permutations using probability. They practice calculations using probability to measure the outcomes. Students demonstrate how to organize and categorize the data.

Seventh graders investigate the concept of ordered pairs as found in Algebra. They are introduced to the data set that corresponds to the coordinate system. Also students practice the graphing the ordered pairs using the x and y axis.

Seventh graders identify the use of a function.They are asked to describe the input and output of a function. Students also identify different aspects of the coordinate system and represent functions in a visual graph.

Sixth graders explore the concept of inequalities and how to solve them in the realm of integers. The instructor would benefit from using a number line and reviewing integers before using this lesson.
