Young scholars understand that a spreadsheet can be used to find the best scale to use in a model. They place the distances of the planets of the solar system to the Sun in one column of the spreadsheet. Students try different scales so...

It's time to go back over all that your class has learned about decimals, fractions, and percentages! To do so, individuals solve story problems that involve addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division with decimals, explain how...

In this math learning exercise, students solve the problems that are intended to focus upon he sequences of decimals. The sheet is a teacher's guide.

Young scholars discuss scale diagrams and maps as well as the use of spreadsheets to find the best scale to use in a model before practicing scale and ratio problems on their own.

Sixth graders conduct a survey and collect data to construct a bar graph that will then be changed into a circle graph. With the bar graph, 6th graders compare estimated fractions and percentages and estimate percentages. With the circle...

Fifth graders study probability of events. They predict outcomes, and participate in hands-on experiments to find the probability of specified events. Afterward, 5th graders write probability of events in fractions and decimals.

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.

In this math worksheet, students complete the mixed fractions that are sorted into a sequence. The sheet is intended as a teacher's guide.

Students investigate how the quotients and remainders from integer division relate to the quotients from rational number division in both fraction and decimal form.

Students learn to use the calculator to collect a set of data in order to identify patterns that illustrate important rational number concepts: the relationship between rational numbers and division, and equivalent fraction and decimal...

In this activity, students extend their understanding of theoretical probability and patterns. They use number cubes, to build awareness that a fraction and its decimal and percent representation on the calculator are "close," but not...
