Investigate the concepts of fractions and integers in order to review for a future assessment. The teacher reviews the major concepts with the class and provides help throughout the lesson plan as needed. Math students work together in...

Learners compare different types of numbers. Each student is given a flashcard containing a decimal, percent, fraction or integer. Teams of students compete, in silence, to determine who can line up in numerical order correctly. They...

In this fractions instructional activity, students put fractions in order, and solve fraction problems. Students complete 5 ordering of fraction problems.

In this fractions worksheet, learners learn how to add 2 fractions together. They first read an explanation of how to solve these problems, which includes example problems. Students then solve the 6 fraction addition problems in the...

Sixth graders examine making smaller parts out of fractions and decimals. In this online interactive fractions, decimals, and percents lesson, 6th graders represent fractions with denominators of ten. Students then represent powers of 10...

In this rational numbers instructional activity, students solve and complete 8 different problems that include applying the comparison property and density property for rational numbers. First, they replace each blank with the correct...

Students investigate the differences when using decimals, fractions, and percents. They focus on the process of using them in real problems and how to convert them from one form to another.

This activity has a little of everything. Compare fractions, determine if numbers are less than, greater than, or equal to. Then practice lining up the decimals to add and subtract decimal numbers. Then multiply decimals remembering to...

Young learners start out by going to the board to draw lines through shapes to identify halves. Then they are given a square of paper and are directed to fold the paper into halves and then into fourths. They color the halves...

Upper elementary and middle schoolers work with the concept of probability. They are introduced to the concept of chaos. Learners graph and analyze using a line plot, work with mean, and are introduced to the concept of variance.

Don't harbor any negative feelings toward negative numbers. Scholars learn about different classifications of rational numbers, including negative integers. They also develop definitions of the opposite and the absolute value of a...

Pictures, number lines, decimal equivalents, or Cuisenaire rods can be used to show insight into the meaning of multiplying fractions.Here, Alisa drinks 3/4 of 1/2 liter of juice. To find the total volume of the juice that Alisa...

Fifth graders need concrete experiences to introduce a unit on multiplying fractions by fractions. A strip of paper is used to create a number line and represent 5/6. It is folded first in half, and then in quarters. After unfolding,...

Few things can motivate children to learn like the promise of a sweet and tasty treat. Given a bag of M&M®s, Skittles®, or other colorful candy, students first predict the contents of the bag before counting the pieces,...

Solving systems of equations underpins much of advanced algebra, especially linear algebra. Developing an intuition for the kinds and descriptions of solutions is key for success in those later courses. This intuition is exactly what...

Roll the dice with this activity and teach young mathematicians about probability. Record outcomes for rolling two number cubes in order to determine what is most likely to happen. Graph the data and investigate patterns in the results,...

Sixth graders engage in an investigation about the concepts related to fractions. They read, represent, compare, and order proper and improper fractions, and mixed numbers. They demonstrate an understanding of relationships involving...

Students construct a book to illustrate number concepts. They write their numbers on a sheet of paper. Students in grade 1 discuss counting to 100 by different numbers. Pupils in grades (2-4) write basic addition or subtraction story...

Can you tell how tall someone is just by looking at their feet? In this activity, young mathematicians measure their height, arm span, and foot size, graph their findings, and answer questions about how these measurements are related....

Second graders use a number line to practice subtraction.  In this subtraction lesson, 2nd graders use a number line to count backwards.  Students participate in mad math activities and solve problems.

Students use the assistance of computers to explore reducing fractions. Using various internet activities, students experience comparing and ordering fractions. They develop methods to estimate the value of fractions.

In this math activity, students convert decimals to fractions and back. The decimals go up to the tenths place. Students also compare fractions and decimal numbers using the < and > signs.

Students build knowledge about the number relationships between decimals and percents as it relates to converting decimals into percents. In this decimal and percent lesson, students recognize equivalent forms of fractions,...

Students investigate the concept of using fractions to solve problems involving rational numbers. They order real numbers on the number line with the classification of fractions. Also students solve problems using the four operations...
