Students measure distances. In this proportions lesson plan, students use a map to find how far it is between different cities. Students use their knowledge of measurement, multiplication and fractions to find the distances.

In this beginning fractions activity, students complete an activity at home with a parent in which five different foods are divided into portions indicated on the activity and then eaten.

Sometimes a skeleton is all you get. This lesson outline provides teachers with a basic lesson flow. Pupils will pre-test, order place value names, use manipulatives, and build and compare numbers. How this is to be done is not...

Have your class design their own mathematical study aids. Learners collaborate in groups on the design of tri-fold presentation describing the relationships between mathematical computations. Then, they write a business letter to the...

Students write a fraction to tell what part of a region is shaded, name the numerator and denominator of a fraction and identify equivalent fractions.

Students study the concept of equivalent fractions using naming concepts.

In this equivalent fractions worksheet, students shade the pie parts that the first fraction shows and shade the same amount of pie in the second picture. Students then write the second fraction. Students then write fractions that have...

In this fraction worksheet, 5th graders answer three multiple choice questions. They choose the answers to 3 questions that ask which of the four models is equivalent to 1/2, 2/3, and 2/10.

If your math magicians have mastered adding and subtracting with uncommon denominators, here is a challenge: subtract mixed numbers with uncommon denominators. The values are pretty easy to work with, so this would be appropriate for...

Students experiment with straight edges and compasses to divide lengths into equal parts. They identify different fractions of the total length.

In this fractions worksheet, students read an instruction sheet on the procedure for multiplying simple fractions. All steps are illustrated. There are no problems to solve.

Students are introduced to mixed expressions and complex fractions. They work through several problems with the instructor and then complete a worksheet.

Fifth graders participate in a teacher-led discussion about fractions and simplifying them. The students use the manipulative of a pie to demonstrate different fractional parts and equivalent fractions.

In this shading fractions learning exercise, students study the various shapes and shade 1/4 of each shape. Students complete 15 problems.

Looking for vocabulary cards to expand your mathematicians' academic language? A set of 19 vocabulary cards focuses on terms dealing with probability, fractions, and decimals. Each sheet has a word card and a definition card.

Scholars first learn to solve two-step equations with fractional coefficients and constants by traditional methods and by clearing the denominator. They continue by learning another approach to solve two-step equations that have decimal...

Build on knowledge of fractions to build fractions. Pupils use interactives that require building fraction models for given fractions or mixed numbers and identifying fractions or mixed numbers for given models. A lab area lets users...

Behind all good design and construction lies a perfect set of plans that are created by a person who knows his, or her, math! Youngsters practice using one of the key tools of the draftsman, the ruler, to practice measuring...

Here's an interactive that will be a great match for math lesson plans. Young mathematicians use an interactive game to match fractions represented numerically and as fraction models. One game assesses fractions only, while the other...

Elevate your fifth graders' understanding of math concepts with a series of vocabulary posters. Featuring terms concerning probability and statistics, measurement, algebra, and decimal place value (and many more), the posters are...

What connection does the quadratic formula have with a quadratic equation? Using a matching activity, pupils construct the algebraic derivation of the quadratic formula in this Algebra II lesson task. The task provides two variations of...

With so many math standards to fit into a school year, it can be difficult keeping track of what you have and have not covered. This collection of Common Core checklists allows you to maintain a running record of when each...

Individuals learn how to plot rational numbers on the number line in the sixth lesson of a 21-part module. They identify appropriate units and determine opposites of rational numbers.

Discover an inverse variation pattern. A simple lesson plan design allows learners to explore a nonlinear pattern. Scholars analyze a distance, speed, and time relationship through tables and graphs. Eventually, they write an equation to...
