Fifth graders engage in a "layered" unit of discovery. There are three levels of potential learning opportunities, in the spirit of the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver (bronze, silver, gold). The instructional activity is based upon fractions.

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...

Young scholars discover how to convert fractions to decimals and percents. They play the role of a shopper to complete this activity.

In this fractions worksheet, students complete a chart where they record fractions of minutes interpreted by seconds of how fast athletes were. Students complete 8 spots in the chart and 3 questions.

Students compare fractions and decimals while playing a game and order fractions and decimals found on the number cubes to create a number line. They then play a game called the Fraction Decimal Toss.

Students practice multiplication playing a game. In this multiplication lesson plan, students pick numbers and multiply them together. Students are awarded points based on which "hive" their answer falls in. The student with the...

Fourth graders plug in numbers into a place value chart with decimals to the hundredths place. In this place value lesson plan, 4th graders fill in answers on the SmartBoard and a worksheet.

Students participate in a game in which they compare fractions and graph the fractions.

Students identify the different place values. For this algebra lesson, students represent decimal place values with manipulatives. They identify the correct place value using commas and mathematical reasoning.

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...

Students explore the stock market. They choose a company and research the company's financial report. Students select 4-10 stocks and become an advocate for one stock. Using spreadsheet software, students compare stocks. They analyze...

Third graders complete math problems.  In this place value lesson, 3rd graders solve problems that require them to write the place value of a number in expanded form and identify the place value and expanded form of three digit...

Sixth graders practice Least Common Multiple in fractions. In this fraction lesson plan, 6th graders look at two different fractions and find a common denominator. They sing a song to memorize mean, median, and mode. 

  Students practice measurement.  In this fractions lesson, 6th graders measure volume of a liquid, e.g. 1/5 liter, and learn the vocabulary of fractions (numerator, denominator). Students solve sample problems in small...

Students convert standard units of measurement to metric units using tape measures, meter sticks, rulers, and online conversion calculators.

Pupils keep track of finances in a check register. For this checking account lesson, students practice writing checks and deposit slips as they add and subtract decimal amounts in order to balance a checkbook in a register.

Students study related addition and subtraction facts. In this math lesson, students use related addition and subtraction to solve problems. Students use manipulatives to explore fact families.

Students explore sorting networks.  In this computer science lesson, students problem solve as they investigate a parallel processing sorting network. 

Students practice single operation arithmetic ranging from single digit addition to long division of decimals or real numbers using Graphit. They use data sets and rules to graph ordered pairs.

Students study rectangles. In this math lesson, students use numbers, measurements and geometry to draw rectangles of varying sizes.

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 collect data and make a frequency table, change ratios into percents, and analyze data to make predictions.

In this mathematical worksheet, learners convert fifteen metric units of capacity and multiply and divide whole numbers by 10, 100 and 1000.

Students investigate the concepts that are related to finance and how it is used in the world. They take part in activities that are focused around the use of a spreadsheet while using a T-chart to simulate a ledger of credits and debits.
