Curated OER
Round and Estimate
In this estimation and rounding worksheet, students estimate sums or differences by rounding to the nearest hundred mile, then find the total distance from one given spot to another.
Curated OER
Estimate High and Low: Compatible Numbers
In this estimation worksheet, students read about compatible numbers and complete a chart, estimating quotients and determining if estimations were "over or under." Students then answer questions related to the chart.

Rule of 72
Find an easier way to double it. Using the price of an item and the Consumer Price Index, learners determine how long it will be for the price to double. Scholars calculate the length of time it would take for the price to double using a...
Curated OER
Speed Challenge
In this science learning exercise, students create a race track and mark each distance as stated. Then they perform each task and record the time it takes them for each. Students also record their data from the experiment into the chart...
Curated OER
How Does Water Cool?
How fast does water cool? First fifth graders will draw a line on a graph that predicts how fast they think water can cool from boiling. Then they plot the actual data on the same graph to see if their estimate was correct.

Equivalent fractions approach to non-repeating decimals
Trying to get your class to think of decimals as fractions and vice versa can lead to interesting discussions. After all, we can usually understand quickly that 1/4 is .25 but why is 1/7 not so easy to convert? This activity looks...
