Introduce your math class to the perimeter of a circle. Teach them that pi describes the relationship between the circumference and the diameter. As a hands-on investigation, pairs or small groups use string to compare these two values...

Fraction fanatics play a memory game using equivalent fraction cards. Individuals pair up with another player and match one fraction to another that represents its simplest form. The teacher's advanced preparation mentions that you will...

Fifth graders solve division problems using partial quotients. In this long division lesson, 5th graders practice seeing division as a process of repeated subtraction and estimation. This lesson provides a script for the teacher.

Students engage in hands-on activities and observe videos to develop fraction skills. In one activity, they create "paper pizzas" complete with original toppings. By swapping pieces, students display whole and unique-looking pizzas.

Fourth graders estimate various measurements. In this activity on measurement, 4th graders estimate the length and mass of multiple objects. Students discuss the difference between a guess and a reasonable estimate and discuss using...

Second graders use blocks to show the addition and subtraction of fractions with common denominators. They identify the steps in these functions and complete a worksheet.

Students choose the correct strategy to solve multiplication and division. In this algorithm lesson, students use at least two strategies that use properties of operations and estimation. Students also recognize the relationship between...

Students calculate unit rates with fractions and whole numbers. In this algebra lesson, students compare numbers, perform long division, and calculate the rate of different units through conversions. They model some of the problems as...

Sew up your unit on operations with decimals using this assessment task. Young mathematicians use given rules to determine the amount of fabric they need to sew a pair of pants. They must also fill in a partially complete bill for...

Fifth graders investigate the interchangeable relationship betweeen fractions and percents. They discuss the concepts using teacher provided questions. Then sutdents work in cooperative groups to maximize scaffolding.

For some, probability is a losing proposition. The assessment item requires an understanding of fraction operations, probability, and fair games. Pupils determine the fractional portions of an event. They continue to determine whether...

Fourth graders receive a fraction circle and show how each different part makes a whole. Students compare the different fractions that make up a whole. Students choose 2 fractions which are inside a bucket and they compare them both...

Fill in the blanks to find the best discount! Groups complete a table of amounts and percents associated with sale items. Classmates then find the original cost, sale cost, discount amount, paid percent, or the discount percent...

The ninth installment of a 21-part module has pupils compare integers and rational numbers in decimal and fraction form. They match stories to number lines and compare values in the stories.

In this fractions worksheet, students complete fraction word problems dealing with numbers up to 12. Students complete 8 problems total.

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.

In this fractions activity, students decide which number statement is true or not true. Students complete 5 problems and then draw the subtraction fraction problem that is true.

Scaling needs to be picture perfect. Pupils use proportional reasoning to find the missing dimension of a photo. Class members determine the sizes of paper needed for two configurations of pictures in the short assessment task.

Using the concept of a candy vending machine, young mathematicians explore the sugar ratios found in different types of candy. Using the provided information, class members calculate and compare different ratios in...

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

Young mathematicians extend their knowledge of rational numbers on a number line to graph inequalities by first using number cards to compare rational numbers. They finish by using similar reasoning to graph inequalities on a number line.

Fifth graders practice solving problems.  In this fraction and decimal lesson, 5th graders recognize the relationship between fraction and decimals.  Students estimate problem results and write expressions to use for problem...

Fifth graders design a fraction word problem PowerPoint presentation. In small groups they complete a storyboard graphic organizer for their word problem, evaluate another group's word problem, and create a PowerPoint presentation of...

Students use playing cards to examine probability. For this probability lesson, students work in groups with a deck of cards and predict if the next card they lay down will be high or low. Students fill out a graphic organizer with their...
