Fifth graders explore fractions of whole numbers as they make fraction bead necklaces.

Sixth graders represent division of fractions using manipulatives, such as freezer pops, candy bars, and models such as drawings squares. They develop an algorithm from these examples and solve problems using fractions.

In this fraction worksheet, students complete a set of short answer and multiple choice questions focusing on subtracting fractions. Students may click on a link to view correct answers.

Fourth graders explore fractions. They compare different fractions using fraction bars. Students find equivalent fractions and they use fraction bars to visualize addition of fractions.

Students identify the phases of the Moon and the synchronous rotation.  For this hands on lesson students will create a model of the Moon. 

Students simulate the greenhouse effect and draw a model of what he/she thinks is happening. They draw inferences from the model and from other resources to determine possible outcomes of increased earth temperatures.

Students develop the concepts of flood stage, levees, floodplain, and the dynamics of river flooding. They construct river models and test various flow rates and volumes. This instructional activity has an excellent experiment for...

This worksheet manages to provide both fun and serious work solving exponential and logarithmic application problems in engaging story lines and real-life situations. A strong emphasis on science applications and numbers pulled...

Do your students have what it takes to be the king of math? Find out with this fun skills practice game that covers a wide range of topics from counting and basic operations to measurement and fractions.

Take two steps back. Given 5/3 on a number line, the task asks pupils to determine where one goes. The activity is the most demanding in cognitive complexity of three tasks dealing with the placement of fractions on a number line.

Don't part with a resource on partitive division. Continuing along the lines of the previous lesson, pupils create stories for division problems, this time for partitive division problems. Trying out different situations and units allows...

Use fractions to estimate candy counts. After watching a video of emptying a bag of candies into a glass, individuals estimate the number of candies of each color. The teacher provides the class with additional information to help answer...

For this identifying tenths and hundredths worksheet, students write fractions and decimals describing models, use grid paper to draw models of fractions and decimals, convert them, and answer word problems. Students answer twenty-two...

Students discover fractions by creating models. In this fractions activity, students read Give Me Half! by Stuart J. Murphy and view a video about what fractions actually represent. Students divide a square piece of paper a certain...

Students define and read an article on polar energy.  For this polar energy lesson, students answer questions about the article.  Students participate in activities related to isotopes, half-life and radiocarbon.  Students...

Students create models of the greenhouse effect using recycled 2-liter bottles. They discuss how their models compares to the real greenhouse effect the earth experiences.

Students observe and demonstrate a variety of activities to identify the fraction parts and the symbols they represent. As a class they explore different fractions using unifix cubes, then use the cubes to build and discuss the...

Students discover how distance can change how our view of an object. Students build a representative model of where their home is located from different distances. They create three drawn models of their home from various elevations as...

Students design and construct a model town. In this community lesson, students will collaboratively build a small town from construction paper and toys.

Students explore why when you examine the moon depends on its location in relationship to the sun and Earth. The moon never goes away or changes shape-we just see a different fraction of sunlight being reflected from the moon to Earth.

Leanrers observe models of fractions and use a calculator to represent numbers as decimals, fractions, and percents. They participate in calculator activities to view different representations of the same number.

In this geometry worksheet, 4th graders complete a quick set of math activities where they first identify which portion of a model is shaded in fraction form. Then, they select which angle best describes a given angle. Finally, students...

In this dividing by unit fractions practice learning exercise, students sharpen their problem solving skills as they solve 6 story problems.

Students examine the concept of fractions. In this fractions king lesson, students review math vocabulary and discover the equivalent forms of fractions as decimals and percents.
