Introduce fractions as a part/whole relationship. The slides in this resource show whole objects, half objects, and then relate the images to their numeric equivalent. This is a simple and basic introduction that uses a variety of...

Your learners will appreciate this assessment of basic skill calculations that are prerequisite to Algebra1. Adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing procedures are addressed in conjunction with whole numbers, decimals, fractions,...

Have scholars show what they know with a 20-page assessment aligned to the California State Standards. The test covers concepts such as large and whole numbers, all four mathematical operations, fractions, decimals, geometric figures,...

Goldilocks and the Three Numbers? The pre-activity task involves finding digits to complete decimals or fractions that satisfy given constraints, such as finding a fractions that is in between two others. The main task involves a similar...

Extend percent understandings to include percents less than one and greater than 100. A great lesson has pupils build upon their knowledge of percents from sixth grade. They convert between fractions, decimals, and percents that are less...

Give learners a chance to shine. The last installment of a 21-part series is an end-of-module assessment. Scholars show their understanding of operations with decimals and division of fractions by solving problems in the context of a...

Young scientists must put their math caps on and figure out what fraction of each flower is in a raised flower bed. They must problem solve to simplify the fractions, and then graph the amount of flowers that are in different flower beds.

Fractions can be tricky. Luckily, you've found this handy slide-show. It defines the various parts that fractions are made of and then shows what each part represents. Images of shaded blocks act as a visual reference for the part/whole...

Part/whole relationships mean it's time to practice fractions. This slide-show makes reviewing fractions a colorful and fun activity. Learners work through the first seven slides to identify the shaded amount, solve two parts of a given...

How should the remainder be expressed? Scholars explore multiple ways as they solve 15 long division problems, only four of which divide evenly. For the first eight, they write out the remainders as fractions, while the last eight have...

Ours is to wonder why, not just to invert and multiply. The seventh installment of a 21-part module uses fraction models to help pupils understand why the invert-and-multiply strategy for dividing fractions works. They then work on some...

Here's a resource teachers won't want to wash their hands of. Given a task where a full bar of soap is on one side of a balance and 3/4 of a bar of soup and a 3/4-ounce weight is on the other side, young mathematicians must determine the...

Quiz the class on their ability to correctly identify both mixed numbers and fractions. As this collection of slides progresses learners either shout out or raise their hands to correctly identify the mixed number or fraction shown. Each...

What does this pie chart mean? Once scholars can analyze a circle graph on a basic level (i.e. "Most people prefer cats"), it's time to delve deeper into it. They examine two graphs here, and are given the total number of participants...

There are mixed and whole numbers in these sets; can your scholars put them in order from least to greatest? For each set they put five numbers in order, paying close attention to the whole numbers attached to the fractions. Learners...

Your bakers might not realize that they need to know how to add with unlike denominators in order to figure out how much milk they need for a recipe. In order to make brownies and cookies, this lesson teaches how to find a common...

Dive head-first into this worksheet full of inverse operations, distributing, and combining like terms. Let your learners try these challenging problems to test their skills with multi-step equations and simplifying expressions with...

Learners find the midpoint between two numbers, shade fractional amounts of rectangles as well as decimal amounts of rectangles, and explain their mathematical reasoning in words. The assessment is a great way to check for understanding...

We see percents everywhere! Building a solid understanding of their meaning is important to future mathematics, but also as citizens. Young scholars practice rewriting decimals, percents, and fractions. They also determine percents of a...

In this decimals worksheet, students fill out a chart with scores from the Women's National Basketball Association. Students convert fractions to percents and decimals.

Students discover fractions by creating models. In this fractions lesson, 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 amount...

Students discover how to divide using mixed numbers. In this division lesson, students demonstrate their knowledge of dividing fractions. Finally, they explore division using mixed numbers.
