How much can a cat eat? The five-question fraction assessment asks pupils to determine the fractional portion of a food box eaten by cats. Learners show their proficiency in adding and subtracting fractions using several scenarios...

Learners graph and order numbers using a number line. They also solve word problems using fractions and decimals and rewrite equations to solve problems correctly. Several example word problems are given. 

Number towers use addition or multiplication to ensure each level is equal. While this is common in factoring, it is often not used with algebraic equations. Solving these six questions relies on problem solving skills and being able to...

Explore the solution to a word problem involving area and perimeter. Learners read and discuss how to approach the problem. In small groups, they determine the maximum area of a rectangle with a given perimeter using a piece of string....

Third and fourth graders read the addition word problems and use the sets of numbers within the problem along with column addition to solve the problems.

Looking for analogies? Here are 501.

How do you show that something is a rectangle? This activity starts with four coordinate points and asks young geometers to explain whether they create a rectangle. Knowledge from both geometry and algebra come into play here, as well...

Line up to learn about lines! Scholars discover how to express patterns as linear functions. The workbook then covers how to graph and write linear equations in slope-intercept form, as well as how to write equations of...

There is more than one way to solve a multiplication problem, and many learners find that the lattice multiplication method can be a helpful one. Fourth graders take an initial formative assessment before working in groups of two or...

In this comparing numbers worksheet, students solve word problems using addition to compare the numbers and answer the six problems.

Straight from the pages of a math textbook, this three-lesson series introduces young mathematicians to the world of integers. Starting with a definition of integers and their applications in the real world, this resource goes on to...

Convey to your pupils the importance of units, then show how to use dimensional analysis to perform a unit conversion. The math lesson includes detailed worked-out solutions to guide learners in their practice.

Can you imagine a pumpkin patch without pumpkins? Learners read how Tammy's family solves their problem in a cooperative way, followed by a set of 10 reading comprehension questions.

Let's see you back it up! As shown in the 18th handout in the Writing the Paper series of 24 lessons from UNC, statistics help form an effective argument. The handout discusses how to analyze a source and break down the data to ensure it...

Everything you could possibly want to know about quadratic equations, all in one resource. Instructors demonstrate how to translate between different forms of quadratics (equation, table of values, graph, verbal description) and finding...

Class members discover how to extend division to fractions to mixed numbers. Individuals first review how to convert mixed numbers to improper fractions and then apply division strategies learned in previous lessons. A memory game...

Looking for a valuable resource on the spread of infectious diseases? Here is a lesson plan in which pupils simulate the spread of diseases and learn about how to prevent them from spreading. Class members read case studies about...

All hail the king! Young mathematicians put their skills to the test as they strive to become the king of math.

Do these items have the same ratio? Through a learning contract, pupils master proportions by practicing proportions via word problems, graphs, and with manipulatives. An exit ticket checks for understanding at the end of the...

Practice adding whole numbers by combining the amount of fish Alice and Bob catch. As young mathematicians work through each problem, they are asked to find one more plus the amount of fish already caught. They can manipulate the...

In this proportions worksheet, 6th graders use the problem solving steps of understand, plan, solve and look back to solve a story problem using proportions.
