Middle schoolers work in groups to show understanding of the relationship between fractions, decimals, percentages, and the application of ratios and proportions. In this decimals, fractions, and percents lesson plan, students use real...

Third graders analyze word problems. In this number sentence lesson, 3rd graders evaluate word problems. Students create number sentences from word problems.

In this unscramble the number word worksheet, students see the number then unscramble the letters of the number word, then get or check their answer.

When it comes to rating educational calculators, this calculator is always near the top of this list. Now it's available as an app. There is a lot of calculator power wrapped up in this app. Not only is this a fully functioning...

Young scholars solve real-world problems related to medical careers. They use graphical representations as part of the problem-solving process and work with fractions, decimals, exponents, and metric measurement. A demonstration is...

Students examine how to use lists, tables, and tree diagrams to solve math combinations. They create various combinations of outfits using clothing manipulatives, watch an episode of the PBS series Cyberchase, and play an interactive...

Learners practice various skills using the book Tiger Math: Learning to Graph from a Baby Tiger. After listening to the story, they create a pictograph using data collected from the text. They also color a picture of a tiger,...

Third graders explore money in a carnival format. In this money lesson, 3rd graders create a carnival of mathematics activities. Students determine the value of money in mixed amounts and explore how to create representations of money.

Students use the zero principle to add integers. In this algebra lesson, students add positive and negative integers verifying the zero principle. They use manipulatives to help them see how opposites can cancel each other out.
