For this probability worksheet, 5th graders complete a chart by writing down 7 events that could happen to them. They label each event as being likely or unlikely to happen to them. They examine 5 events in a second chart, and write down...

Are opioids the most abused drug after marijuana? How hard is it for young people to obtain painkillers without a prescription? Middle and high schoolers explore the growing epidemic of opioid addiction with a lesson plan that prompts...

For this comparisons worksheet, students fill in the blanks in 4 sentences with the words "like" or "unlike". Students then change the form of the adjective provided in 10 sentences that compare two things.

Learners compare three sets of fractions using the greater than, less than, and equal signs. To justify their answers, a drawing is also required that illustrates their reasoning. Including fractions with like and unlike denominators, as...

Welcome to Fraction City! This is an incredibly interactive and fun way to teach properties of fractions, and reaches multiple learning styles. Scholars create "blocks" by folding strips of paper in various increments (thirds, fourths,...

Hit unlike fractions out of the park in a comparing fractions color by number (symbol) worksheet. Young mathematicians place <, >, or = to make each comparing sentence true. Then, they use a key to color accordingly. When complete,...

Subtracting fractions with unlike denominators is the focus of an interactive designed to boost mathematicians' problem-solving skills. Five questions challenge participants to answer multiple-choice and true or false questions with help...

An interactive challenges mathematicians to add mixed fractions with unlike denominators. Five questions—fill-in-the-blank and multiple-choice—build from one to the next leading the way to an open discussion about denominators and...

In this rational expressions worksheet, students find the sum or difference of two rational expressions in seventy-two problems on four worksheets.  The first two worksheets contain problems with like denominators and the second two...

Young mathematicians compare two fractions with like denominators and then move to the next level to compare fractions with unlike denominators. They will first try to use mental math to make educated guesses. There are a few guidelines...

Put your class in the shoes of someone - or something - else with this lesson, which encourages writers to keep a diary from the perspective of a living creature or an abstraction. Use Doreen Cronin's Diary of a Worm and the Six Trait...

An interactive challenges scholars to subtract mixed numbers. Pupils answer questions—multiple-choice, fill in the blank, and true or false—with help from virtual fraction strips. The practice closes with a discussion. 

A quick discussion question that brings some collaboration into your classroom will allow your thinkers to make a decision about sampling. Mr. Briggs wants to know if the results from his class are a valuable comparison to the entire...

Upper graders are introduced to the topic of fractions and percentages. In groups, they discuss real world situations in which fractions are present, and they complete a worksheet solving problems with common and uncommon denominators....

If you are teaching fractions to elementary learners this year, this Singapore Math presentation is essential to your curriculum. It addresses several basic fractions concepts in conceptual terms and figures, making each idea accessible...

Students explore why denominators need to match before adding (or subtracting) a fraction. They use unmarked fraction circles and marked fraction bars, to discover a method to add fractions with unlike denominators using equivalent...

How are Icarus and Prometheus similar? How are they different? Compare any two Greek myths with a graphic organizer, which provides space for kids to fill in the ways that the myths are like and unlike each other.

How likely is it that the school cafeteria will serve chicken tomorrow? Discover the concept of probability with the roll of the dice. Pupils evaluate the liklihood of several statments about everyday life. Then, a mathematical...

Save trees! Save graphite! Save ink! Go paperless! Make a list, mindmap, sketch an idea. Import, scale, rotate, and add text to images. Save content into books and share your creations. All this and more is yours with a free visual...
