Students analyze how to calculate averages, and discuss the use of averages in baseball. They calculate averages and decimals to thousandths using the data on baseball cards.

Students distinguish between proper and improper fractions. They create a "Character Clue Box" that represents a fraction. Fractions are picked from a hat and then groups go outside and search for items that represent their fraction....

This instructional activity is a mix of math skills directed at fifth graders. They will compare sets of numbers that include whole numbers, decimals, and fractions to order them from smallest to largest. The page concludes with a review...

Seventh graders visualize and identify geometric shapes after applying transformations on a coordinate plane. In this tangrams instructional activity, 7th graders construct a set of tangrams and then answer extension questions related to...

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

Eighth graders investigate the order of numbers and how they are located on the number line. They also review the symbols used to compare quantities in order to decipher simple expressions and graph them on the numberline.

Seventh graders identify rational and irrational numbers and then, estimate the square root of numbers that are not perfect squares. They then identify what the radical is and differentiate between that and a division symbol clearly....

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.

For this comparing ratios worksheet, students solve and complete 3 different problems using the screens shown. First, they write a ratio that compares the shaded part to unshaded part illustrated. Then, students use the same grid to...

Fifth graders use estimation to solve word problems. In this fractions instructional activity, 5th graders decide whether or not an answer to a work problem is reasonable by applying their knowledge of fractions, decimals and estimation....

Students solve problems using ratios and proportions. In this algebra lesson, students identify the unit rate and convert between fractions and decimals. They create graphs from their data.

Students examine the concept of sequences. Students create a sequence using varied starting numbers, multipliers, and add on values. Students practice determining the starting values to use in order to produce a desired sequence.

Single-step addition or subtraction operations are applied in order to solve these 12 simple equations. An answer key is available, not so much for you, but perhaps to be used by learners as a self-correction tool. Note that the...

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...

Students practice graphing a linear equation and a parabolic equation. They work cooperatively to select numbers, including fractions, which they will put into ordered pairs. Students explain their process to the class, discussing what...

Students explore the concept of ordering fractions and finding equivalent fractions. In this ordering fractions and finding equivalent fractions lesson, students play a card game where students must collect 5 cards with equivalent...

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.

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,...

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.

In this probability worksheet, 6th graders use fractions and decimals to state probability. Students respond to 9 questions stating the answer in each of the two forms.

Fifth graders practice using estimation. In this estimation lesson, 5th graders add, subtract, multiple, and divide using whole numbers, fractions, and decimals. Students decide upon instances when estimation is more appropriate than...

Students are "given" $25.00 to spend at a restaurant. Using the Internet, they must "order" a complete 4 course meal while staying within their budget.

Young scholars explore the concept of Venn Diagrams through word problems. In this Venn Diagram lesson plan, students solve word problems about groups of people using Venn Diagrams. Young scholars use survey results about MySpace and...

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 on integers.
