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...

View a PBS video entitled Horatio's Drive and explore Horatio's Ratios. Collaborative learners form groups to use Mapquest to determine distances covered. They generate the mathematical averages, ratios, and rates in order to calculate...

In this prime factorization worksheet, learners find the prime factorization of numbers by using a factor tree. They compare fractions and identify equivalent fractions, and find the greatest common factor, order numbers, and convert...

Talk about delicious math! Pupils solve problems involving rational numbers and analyze real-life problems to find solutions in a pre-algebra class. They discuss the sections of a Hershey's bar in terms of fractions and decimals before...

Discuss scientific notation with this mathematics lesson. Middle schoolers predict which problem is bigger of two numbers. They analyze the problems by observing the powers of 10 in order to decide which is bigger. This appears to be an...

Finding approximate solutions to word problems allows users to assess the reasonableness of their answers. In a well-paced lesson, the class rounds numbers to estimate the solutions. They explain their thinking and determine if the...

Learners observe and discuss cloud cover. They identify percent of cloud cover, calculate cloud cover by fraction and convert to a percent, and compare their models with the current real sky cloud cover.

Students estimate and compute with rational numbers. They compare, order and convert among fractions, decimals and percents. Students analyze problems to determine if there is sufficient or extraneous data to solve.

Learners calculate the theoretical and empirical probability by dropping coins on a grid. They record their data and compare the theoretical and empirical data. Students make predictions about the results before conducting the experiment.

Students collect data to create different types of graphs-line, pie, and bar graphs. They use StarOffice 6.0 to create graphs.

Students convert metric units of length, specifically meters, centimeters, and millimeters. In this lesson of converting measurements, students participate in various games which require them to put the measurements in order or convert...

Students collect and record data. In this early data analysis lesson, students gather data about their partners face. As a class, the students use tally marks and pictographs to record the data and answer question about the information...

In this 3-day place-value activity, upper-elementary kids investigate the base 5 and base 2 systems as an introduction to exponents and powers. They create a pocket chart to help ground their understanding of bases, exponents, and...

Young scholars engage in a lesson that is concerned with the standard of comparing the quantities of whole numbers using different strategies from the concrete to the abstract. They count objects and compare them, use symbols of...

Young scholars use measurement tools to measure the nearest 16th of an inch. They connect fractions and their decimal equivalents and compare this with other decimals. Finally, the class uses algebraic concepts and formulas to solve...

middle schoolers are the opportunity to enhance their computation skills using real life statistics associated with the Space Shuttle. Skills emphasized include working with fractions, decimals, percents, ratios and proportions,...

Middle schoolers write a paper about how their life would be different if fractions, decimals and percents did not exist. The teacher leads a discussion after the papers are written.

Students review the conversion of fractions to decimals, develop strategies to compare fractions perform complex calculations using ratio techniques similar to the construction of fractions.

Students examine fractions in this lesson. They practice with how to reduce and perform operations on fractions.

Seventh graders create a video of different formats to deliver a presentation of a math concept such as square roots, decimals, fractions, and more. In this math presentation lesson plan, 7th graders can plan a rap video, story,...
