Working in groups, the class will use what they know about whole number operations to solve a real-world problem involving a number line. They will focus on using the number line to correctly label the placement of whole numbers,...

Piece by piece young scholars build a basic understanding of fractions in a Common Core-designed elementary math lesson. Through a series of hands-on activities and journaling exercises, and with the help of multiple...

Learners solve word problems using number sense. They convert fractions to decimals and mixed numbers. Pupils determine if a given fraction is greater or less than another fraction, and order numbers on a number line.

Explore fractions using different manipulatives and illustrations. Your class can create a variety of models of fractions and mixed numbers with drawings and manipulatives. They then work to compare fractions, mixed numbers, and whole...

Kids love to cook! What is a better place to learn mixed numbers than with a recipe? It is up to learners to decide how they want to divide this recipe in half. They may choose to model the mixed number and then divide the model by two....

Students explore the concept of locating rational numbers on a number line. In this rational numbers lesson, students change improper fractions to mixed numbers to determine where on a number line the rational number belongs. Students...

Add another strategy to the toolboxes of young mathematicians with this elementary math lesson on using number lines to add and subtract fractions.

Students translate problem situations into diagrams, models, and numerals using whole numbers, fractions, mixed numbers, decimals, and percents. They identify that numbers in different forms are equivalent or not equivalent using whole...

Students practice comparing and ordering fractions, mixed numbers, and decimals. In this fractions, mixed numbers, and decimals lesson, students examine a decimal place value chart compared to a whole number place value chart. They...

After your math classes have been introduced to fractions (especially those with denominators of two, four, and eight), introduce them to fractions on a number line with this lesson. Using a meter length of tape, show your class where...

Sixth graders create a human number line. They determine the correct placement of various numbers ranging from -4 to 4. Additionally, they will determine the placement of numbers written as fractions and/or decimals.

Help math learners discover how to multiply fractions and mixed numbers. They will explore visual examples of the operations. They also practice solving problems that their instructor models.

Measure your pupil's learning in a lesson designed to explore decimals by weighing different candies on a scale and recording the weight. Small groups then compare and order the decimal weights on a number line to show their...

Create your own fraction kits by folding and labeling paper using fraction vocabulary. Learners then work in groups to use these in comparing and sequencing both whole numbers and fractions. They also create unit cubes and develop an...

The object of this activity is to compute how far Rosa ran to school. Given in the exercise is the fractional number of miles between home and school and the fractional distance Rosa ran. The commentary shows several ways to have your...

Develop your pupils' understanding of fractions and their decimal equivalence using the 12th lesson in this series. Scholars learn an alternative to long division that results in converting fractions to decimals that emphasize fractional...

Investigate equivalent fractions with your class. They compare and order fractions. Then they work cooperatively in groups to experiment and problem solve with fractions using a game format. Multiple resources are provided.

Using a simple technique, learners practice identifying integers on a number line. As numbers, both positive and negative, are pointed to, they name them. This could be part of anticipatory set before a lesson plan on integers.

Whether you have your class plant seeds or begin when sprouts are visible, math skills are used here to predict and track growth over time. Straw bar graphs show plant height on a given day while the graph as a whole shows changes over...

Learners multiply decimals and/or mixed numbers. They explore the effects of multiplying decimals and mixed numbers. They practice estimating answers when a number is multiplied by a decimal or mixed number.

Reinforce the concept of fractions and decimals as part of a whole with a lesson that begins with a mixed review, then goes into a three problem guided practice, and ends with a collaborative activity. The guided practice and activity...

Students use color-cued fraction strips and a color-cued numberline to develop basic fraction concepts and correct sequencing. They complete a worksheet using equivalent fractions to solve the problems.

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...

Have individuals wash their hands with soap and water, give one of them a yeast-covered piece of candy, and then have him shake hands with the person next to him. Handshakes continue down the line until everyone in the class has had...
