It all adds up to one. Pupils solve several items that involve finding sums of fractions in relationship to a whole. The assessment task uses fractions with unlike denominators to determine the amount of a tank of gas and the amount of...

Working with fractions that have unequal denominators is one of the most difficult concepts for young mathematicians to master. Here you will find a fine lesson plan that should help youngsters begin to get a grasp on this important...

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.

Having a good working knowledge of math vocabulary is so important for learners as they progress through different levels of mathematical learning. Here is 125 pages worth of wonderfully constructed vocabulary and concept review cards....

Zeroes are more important than they look! A guided practice activity takes learners through the process of both scientific and decimal notation, culminating in more complex word problems and equations.

Scaling needs to be picture perfect. Pupils use proportional reasoning to find the missing dimension of a photo. Class members determine the sizes of paper needed for two configurations of pictures in the short assessment task.

Middle schoolers describe plotting functions on the Cartesian coordinate plane. They solve functions on paper and using an online tool to plot points on a Cartesian coordinate plane creating lines and parabolas.

Fill in the blanks to find the best discount! Groups complete a table of amounts and percents associated with sale items. Classmates then find the original cost, sale cost, discount amount, paid percent, or the discount percent...

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.

Third graders create fractions from concrete materials, then use paper fractions.

Fourth graders estimate various measurements. In this lesson on measurement, 4th graders estimate the length and mass of multiple objects. Students discuss the difference between a guess and a reasonable estimate and discuss using...

Slow and steady wins the race? In the assessment task, scholars calculate the rates at which different snails travel in order to find the fastest snail. Hopefully, your class will move much more quickly in finishing the task!

This instructional activity is designed to come after students have studied about the four main layers of the earth. They may relate the size of the sections to known objects such as the mantle to the size of a grapefruit and the outer...

Young scholars examine the four quadrants of Cartesian coordinate plane. They play maze games and coordinate games to discover how to read and plot points on the plane. Students plot points on the coordinate plane and examine the ratio...

Students explore functions, function rules, and data tables. They explore terms of linear functions. Students use computers to analyze the functions. Students write short sentences to explain data tables and simple algebraic expressions.

Students perform mathematical operations to create proportional measurements, after listening to the David Schwartz book, If You Hopped Like a Frog.

In this math activity, students look for the answers to the addition with fractions of the same denominator. There is a button at the top of the page for the answers.

Add 30 sets of mixed fractions that have common denominators. Elementary math minds get plenty of practice with this printable page. You will find the answers provided with the click of a box in the upper left corner of the web page.

This straightforward worksheet simply provides practice subtracting mixed numbers. There are 18 problems to solve, all of which deal with common denominators. Not exciting, but serves its purpose.

in this math activity, students combine the factors of mixed numbers in order to get the correct products. The answers are also accessible.

In this fractions and decimal equivalents activity, students sharpen their problem solving skills as they solve 6 story problems.

Fifth graders solve division problems using partial quotients. For this long division lesson, 5th graders practice seeing division as a process of repeated subtraction and estimation. This lesson provides a script for the teacher.

Students take an Internet field trip to research fractions. ESOL strategies include using pattern block manipulatives and pairing ESOL and non-ESOL students on computers.

Young scholars explore the concept of multiplication by using pizza. They read an article discussing how math is used everyday. They try to determine how many pizzas they would need to feed the class.
