Fraction models are a great way to help scholars visualize this concept, and they focus on thirds with these practice problems. First, there are five shapes each segmented into three even sections. Learners color in one-third of each,...

Before youngsters begin subtracting, give them this visual introduction focusing on the term fewer. They examine three pairs of party-themed object sets to determine which has five fewer than the other. After checking off the fewer...

Explore fractions visually through segmented shapes. Scholars examine sets of shapes and shade in the given fraction. Each shape is divided into the same number of segments as the denominator of the desired fraction, so beginners aren't...

Introduce scholars to bar graphs and data analysis through analyzing these visual examples. First, they look at a pictograph of fruit types and answer five observation questions. There is one done for them as an example. Learners do the...

To help novice mathematicians understand subtraction concepts, offer them visual representations of the operation. Here, they look at sets of circles. For each of the 16 sets there is a given number they are to cross out, writing how...

Start from the beginning with new counters! They practice number concepts, tracing five digits: 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. Next, scholars count the number of each object in an illustrated pond scene. How many suns? How many ducks? There are five...

Focus on halves, thirds, and fourths in these visual fraction activities. Scholars begin by examining a grid with various expressions of the three fractions displayed in the grid squares. They color-code the grid to indicate which...

Explore probability with beginners using these multiple-choice visuals. They determine what they are most likely to choose from a bag by examining the contents. Each bag has three types of similar objects with one more prevalent than the...

For beginners, present multiplication as repeated addition to give them a familiar context. They examine grouped sets of objects and add up the groups to get a total. Then, learners translate the addition sets to a basic multiplication...

Calling all fraction novices! Use sets of objects to introduce scholars to fractions before they even have learned about numerators and denominators (but this is a great way to introduce these terms!). The first section has four...

What's the pattern? Preschoolers examine six visual patterns and continue them to the end of the page (drawing). Other than fine motor skills practice, these patterns also help prepare youngsters for letter shapes. You can even point out...

Bring out the pegboards for this one! As you introduce multiplication, explain it as sets of objects using these visual practice problems. Learners look at eight pegboards with varying rows filled. For each, they fill in two sentences...

If your third graders have a hard time with multiplication, visualizing the problems might help. Six problems show learners how to count pairs of boxes to solve multiplication with the two times table. At the end, they draw boxes to...

Practice finding cubic volume with nine illustrations. Different shapes composed of 1 cm cubes prompt fifth graders to calculate the volume of each shape. An example at the top of the page guides learners through the mathematical process.

If members of your class wonder where they can use the math they learn in middle school, let them discover the answer. Learners apply geometry concepts of scale and measure to calculate the costs of framing a house addition.

A jar is filled with 1,500 marbles and customers of a bank can enter a contest to guess the correct percentage of blue marbles. How can an employee at the bank estimate the actual percentage without physically counting all 1,500 marbles?...

This is a wonderful exercise for learners to apply their critical thinking skills along with their knowledge of quadratic functions and parabolas. Young mathematicians investigate a real-world scenario about the height a baseball reaches...

Help your learners understand dividing with fractions by using these methods to solve. Chose from two different number lines or linker cubes.  This practices "how many groups?" style division problems which help them comprehend why...

A connecting-the-dots activity seems too easy for seventh grade but connecting vertices may prove a challenge. Class members first examine a figure created by drawing squares around the inside of an octagon and connecting the...

Make two parts into a whole. Scholars learn to multiply polynomials to create a simplified polynomial expression. Polynomials include monomial, binomials, and trinomials. 

You can't see patterns in a jumble of numbers ... so organize them! Learners take a set of data and use a line plot to organize the numbers. From the line plot, they find minimum, maximum, mean, and make other conclusions about the...

Temper your excitement of temple geometry. Using algebraic and geometry concepts to determine various measurements in a circle diagram, scholars determine the shaded area of the diagram.

Which deal is best? Learners determine which of two companies has the best deal for a particular number of shirts. They begin by creating a table and equations containing each company's pricing structure....

Land on the green with a fun resource. A short performance task asks pupils to consider the volume of containers that hold golf balls. They determine the percentage of empty space of the container for different numbers of golf balls.
