Fifth graders explore measurement. In this measurement lesson, 5th graders review fractions, simplifying and using rulers to practice measuring by inches and centimeters. Students are shown how to measure and given a...

For this simplifying fractions worksheet, students solve and complete 10 various types of problems. First, they write the fractions in simplest form and find the lowest common denominator for each pair. Then, students change the improper...

In this mathematics activity, 4th graders add the fractions and shade the parts illustrated in each picture. Then they write the whole numbers from 0 to 5 under the bolded black lines. Students also add and give their answer as a mixed...

High schoolers 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.

Students complete a unit of lessons on the relationships between decimals, whole numbers, and fractions. They use paper strips to solve fraction problems, view and solve examples, and use calculators to convert fractions into decimal...

Fourth graders locate decimals on a number line. They use number sense and estimation skills with decimals. Students are introduced to percents. They look at fractions on a number line. Students fold a piece of paper to find halves,...

Need more detail in showing your class how to solve two-step equations and proportions? This lesson plan outlines the steps young mathematicians need to solve simple equations and check their results. 

Use this introductory geometry worksheet as a projected warm-up for your class, doing it together and then revealing the explanation on the bottom half. Learners examine a square and a circle, each bisected by a dotted line. They must...

Ordering numbers just got physical! Learners practice putting numbers in sequence, both in fraction and decimal form. To begin, they line up in birthday order and discuss the difference between ascending and descending. They are then...

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.

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...
