Here is a comparing and ordering fractions learning activity that extends young mathematicians understanding of fractions with like and non-like denominators. By representing and explaining each fraction in a picture or diagram, students...

If you have two bags with an unknown number of tiles, represented by x, and you add three tiles to get seven total, you can set up a linear equation to represent the problem. Use this example and a few others to demonstrate how to solve...

This comprehensive resource applies simultaneous equations to a real-life problem. Though the commentary starts with a graph, some home consumers may choose to begin with a table. A graph does aid learners to visualize the shift of one...

Finding the volume of a right rectangular prism is the focus of the resource.  Worksheet includes a drawing of a cube to help learners visualize the concept. Young geometers will learn that as the side length increases, so does the...

Fractions are a common fear in school, but visualizing them on a number line can help your learners understand their relationship to one another. The activity provides two solutions; use either a number line or a common denominator....

Can Dan make a conjecture about dividing fractions with the same denominators? That is what your scholars are to determine. They must show that if the statement is true, they understand how the quantities were determined, and how...

Perfect for visual and hands-on learners, an engaging lesson prompts pupils to consider the different-sized boxes they can create from a piece of cardboard. They develop a model to determine the size of the box with the greatest...

You may be able to see patterns visually, but mathematics quantifies them. Here learners find correlation in scatterplots and write equations to represent that relationship. They fit a line to the data, find two points on the line, and...

Help your class practice writing fractions using this resource. This is a visually-appealing and motivating way to help learners practice this skill.

Learners solve six story problems about adding 10s. Provide 10-rods or objects they can group into 10s to visualize what is being asked. Two of the problems provide irrelevant information; with discussion and guidance, this is also a...

There are many ways to work through a multiplication problem. Using an area model, kids complete several worksheets with different types of multiplication problems, including multiplying by ten, and explain how the new strategies differ...

Word problems are the name of the game here, and each one comes with an image to help learners visualize the math operation. Careful, though; the visual for the first scenario is confusing. The problem gives a total number of sports...

A learning task that involves creative ways of thinking permits children to use paper models as a way to visualize the fraction one-half. Learners can fold or cut their models in such a way that the unshaded regions, and shaded...

Use number lines to visually represent addition and subtraction equations. First, scholars complete an addition number sentence and represent the equation on a number line. Next, they examine a number line and write the corresponding...

Your young scholars aren't too young to balance equations! These simple addition number sentences are represented by dice, and require one part of the equation to be filled in. Learners create dots to complete and balance the math...

Ten questions are provided to review elapsed time. Your third graders will like that some questions provide visual representations to guide learners. Use Internet Explorer if you want this worksheet to print in its proper format. 

Although learners don't need to identify numbers as even or odd here, they do match each to a set of shapes. There are six numbers written numerically along with either odd or even. Scholars match each to a set of shapes with...

Bar and line graphs are an excellent way to visually analyze data: give your scholars practice both analyzing graphs and creating their own! First, they examine five basic bar graphs, indicating the number of squares on specific days....

Make fractions easier with a visual representation along a number line. There are eight fractions here for scholars to match to their corresponding number lines. Although this is a good idea, the formatting isn't ideal. Ask kids to...

Learners reduce fractions to their simplest form. They divide and multiply when needed in order to convert each fraction. This is a quick and easy way to review this skill.

How many days until summer? Find a special day, and use this activity to determine how many days, weeks, hours, even seconds until it arrives! There are three levels of difficulty, which can provide differentiated instruction with...

Is Sarah, the chimpanzee, smart or just a lucky guesser? Here, learners set up a simulation and read a dotplot to find out the likelihood of getting 7 out of 8 questions correct. One suggested modification would be to have your class...

Arrays are a visual way to practice multiplication and division. Using one of these twelve array picture cards, learners write a multiplication word problem describing what they see. After also recording a multiplication number sentence,...

After hearing the story, One Hundred Angry Ants, learners apply what they have seen to a math challenge. They choose one of three numbers: 12, 24, or 36. Imagining this were the number of ants going to a picnic, they consider how many...
