Third graders explore number values by participating in class math activities. In this fractions lesson plan, 3rd graders collaborate with classmates to discuss the technique of adding mix numbers while utilizing paper plates to help...

Domain can be a tricky topic, especially when you relate it to context, but here is a activity that provides concrete examples of discrete situations and those that are continuous. It also addresses where the input values should begin...

Remainders don't need to remain a mystery. The 16th of 18 parts in Grade 5 Math Module 1 continues the study of dividing decimals by a whole number. Scholars see how to rename the remainder to a smaller unit, such as when dividing 1.7 or...

Happy Pi Day! This collection of games, experiments, and activities leads participants through an exploration of the many aspects and attributes of that mysterious quantity, pi. Activities range from using statistical...

In order to practice problem-solving skills, pupils work through a series of word problems. They each determine an answer and then share their thinking process with the class. This lesson plan demonstrates that there may be more than one...

Sixth graders visualize different percentages as parts of a whole on visual images. They observe alterations of photographs, and models of circles, squares and sets. This incredibly detailed, eight-page plan leads you through everything...

Lower elementary learners recognize solid shapes distributed for making fractions. Each individual uses a wheel and determine which part of a fraction is missing. This is a great lesson plan for your visual learners!

Pattern blocks and shapes demonstrate how to add and subtract fractions. By aligning blocks with different shapes, learners figure out how to create a whole, and then how to add and delete parts from that whole.

There are 33 fractions here, and all of them need to be changed...yet stay the same. Scholars convert improper fractions to mixed numbers and vice versa. Some of the mixed numbers require canceling, which the example demonstrates well....

Provide pupils with problems to check their understanding of the concepts within the unit. The seven-part series of lessons covers concepts related to irrational numbers. Learners convert between fractions and decimals, estimate the...

Making banana pudding despite misplacing your one-cup measuring cup is easy as long as you can find your quarter-cup measuring cup! This real-life activity provides a good opportunity for learners to interpret division of a whole...

In this fraction activity, students find the whole when a portion is known. They apply the information to complete 4 problems. They use percentages of a whole in order to determine the value of the whole in 9 problems and finally, apply...

An impressive lesson where pupils visualize models and solve problems involving multiplying a whole number times a fraction. Fraction bars are used to help learners truly understand what's happening during this mathematical process. The...

Understanding when to divide by two or one-half can be confusing. Here is an activity that gives four different scenarios. It is up to your number crunchers to decide if they divide by two or one-half. The easiest way to approach the...

Discover the concept of fractions by using fruit as a model. Scholars discover fractions are part of a whole, similar to the pieces of fruit which are placed in front of them. They then cut up several different types of fruit and discuss...

Common denominators, factors, and rounding are a few of the terms in a set of flash cards designed to reinforce math vocabulary. Forty-two cards offer a bold-faced vocabulary word or a corresponding definition alongside an...

Now you'll never have trouble cutting a cake evenly again. Here is a set of five problems all about partitioning shapes into a given number of pieces and identifying the fractional amount of each piece. As learners progress through the...

Elementary and secondary learners investigate various concepts related to the study of fractions. They use word problems during the introduction to parts of a fraction and proceed to some of the basic operations of using fractions. The...

Five questions challenge scholars to add mixed numbers. A tool creates a visual model that separates whole numbers from fractions parts. Problem types include fill in the blank, true or false, and discussion.  

Beyond reading and arithmetic, one of the most important skills for graduating seniors to have is fiscal literacy and responsibility. Start them on the right financial track with nine lessons that focus on a variety of important...

Challenge your class to construct a definition for trapezoids. Looking at four examples and four non-examples, learners individually create definitions and use them to classify an unknown shape. Allow for small group and whole-class...

In this math worksheet, students cut out three sections of paper. The first piece is labeled Whole and the second two pieces are labeled Part. Two of the Parts put together are the same size as the Whole.

Trace the links between a variety of math concepts in this far-reaching unit. Ideas that seem very different on the outset (like the distance formula and rigid transformations) come together in very natural and logical ways. This...

Work with small and large numbers alike with a place-value activity. After writing the value of selected numbers, fourth graders write what happens to each number if they change certain parts of it.
