Young scholars add or subtract fraction parts of mixed numbers before adding or subtracting the whole number parts. In this fractions activity, students learn to use a ruler to help them add and subtract fractions with like denominators.

In this whole and parts worksheet, students study the shapes that each have a line of symmetry. Students draw the missing half so that each half is the same. Students then write if a diamond has more than 1 line of symmetry.

Students review and discuss the task to be completed and how the rubric is used to evaluate it. They each get 6 paper rectangles, 3 of one color and 3 of another color. They cut the rectangles in half two different ways. They repeat the...

Sixth graders practice the conversion of percents and fractions. They focus on the fact of both fractions and percents are part of a whole. In the independent practice the students also work with solving proportions.

Students examine the procedures to determine a number when the percentage of the whole is known or to find the whole number when the part or percentage is known.

In this subtraction learning exercise, students subtract problems using mental math methods such as tens groups, comparing problems, helping numbers, and more. Students complete 7 sets of problems.

Fifth graders practice using the English measuring system by creating fractions.  For this parts of a whole lesson, 5th graders combine math key bars to simulate small parts of a bigger item.  Students combine the pieces to...

First graders demonstrate various ways to represent and verify a whole or set separated in two, three, or four equal parts. Using interlocking cubes, Students model a part of a whole or a part of a set. They use appropriate tools and...

Students examine the order of whole numbers that range from 0 to 1,000. They compare and contrast the quantities of different numbers using the number line, objects, and symbols of comparison. Students also work as a class with cards to...

In this fraction activity, students determine the number of parts in a whole. They add and divide fractions. This one-page activity contains 11 problems.

Students create a set of fraction circles using a paper folding technique. They fold 10 inch circles of paper into the indicated fractions, identify the fractions, and use them to show equivalency.

Learners work collaboratively to gain a better understanding of the vastness of space by scaling down the solar system. They measure by inches, gain an understanding of space, and model the distances of the planets from the sun.

Third graders use fractions manipulatives to explore fractions.  In this fraction activity, 3rd graders work in groups based on skill to increase understanding of fractions.  Students create fraction books.

Students discuss jettons and their archaeological importance at Jamestown. They then practice using historic counting sheets and artifacts to understand the calculating methods of the early 17th Century, and identify their similarities...

Fifth graders use Cuisenaire rods in order to discover how to represent fractions with real objects. For this lesson on fractions, 5th graders first examine and learn the colors, lengths, and numerical values of each rod; then, students...

Students research a famous mathematician and create a presentation of their research. In this famous mathematician research activity, students decide on a famous mathematician that they would like to learn more about. They conduct...

Pupils investigate the concept of ten and how it is part of the real number system. They find the quantity of ten using as many combinations as possible. They can count using manipulatives, write on paper, or by doing mental math.

Second graders practice unit fractions to identify parts of the whole and parts of a set. They utilize a variety of manipulative's including recipe boxes to get them started stirring up fractions. A multitude of books on fractions are...

Students discover bar graphs. In this primary math lesson plan, students identify the parts of watermelon seeds and other seeds. Students learn the proper names and common names which refer to the parts of the seeds as they create a bar...

Students discover fractions by creating models. In this fractions lesson, students read Give Me Half! by Stuart J. Murphy and view a video about what fractions actually represent. Students divide a square piece of paper a certain amount...

In this math worksheet, students will read about the definition of fractions. Students will read about and practice equivalent fractions, simplifying fractions and adding and subtracting fractions.

Students explore the concept of fractions through use of hands on activity. In this lesson plan about fractions, students will work together in small groups with a round piece of paper, or pizza, and cut the pizza into pieces. Students...
