A helpful math worksheet, intended as a guided lesson, walks young mathematicians through the process of converting the decimal 0.75 to a fraction and percent.

The class braids irrational numbers, Pythagoras, and perimeter together. The mini-assessment requires scholars to use irrational numbers and the Pythagorean Theorem to find perimeters of rugs. The rugs are rectangular, triangular,...

Pre-algebra—all wrapped up in one place. The eBook contains everything needed to teach a typical Pre-Algebra course. Concepts in the course build upon previously learned concepts, allowing mathematicians to see the connections between...

After reading the 11th chapter in Matilda, class members take on the role of Bruce Bogtrotter and re-enact the cake eating scene. Here's the catch: they must come-up with an impromptu re-enactment of the scene from the story, and...

Students practice converting fractions into decimals and percents using a computer applet and the concept of money.

You class will read Cucumber Soup by Vickie Leigh Krudwig as an anticipatory set for this lesson on ratios. They make models of the insects in the story and then use them as a source of data for this ratio and proportion lesson. This...

Sixth graders engage in a lesson that explores the conversion process of fractions, decimals, and percents in relationship to their values to each other. Students demonstrate how to convert numbers interchangeably between fractions,...

Second graders identify fractions as part of a set. They explain concrete and symbolic representations of whole numbers, fractions, decimals, and percents in real-world situations. They complete a web-based cookie baking lesson plan.

In this percent worksheet, students convert between fractions, decimals and percents. They create a model of each number represented. This six-page worksheet contains 25 multi-step problems.

Students explore percent. In this percent lesson, students investigate how to represent percentages on a hundreds grid. Working independently, students solve mathematical problems involving percentages.

Fifth graders participate in a lesson that is concerned with the concept of telling the differences between a fraction, decimal, and percent. There is a good example of conversion in the lesson.

In the understanding percent as a special fraction worksheet, 5th graders use computer software for instruction, then answer ten questions about percents and fractions.

Seventh graders calculate percentages when given a fraction. They convert a percentage to a fraction. All of this be done by each student's ability to read the graphs made available by the spreadsheet information.

In this percents and fraction learning exercise, students read short story problems, write an equation, and determine the percent or fractional part of a given number. They use the work backwards strategy to determine the initial number....

If you keep rolling a die, you'll roll a five exactly one-sixth of the time—right? A probability lesson prompts young mathematicians to roll a die 100 times and use the data to calculate empirical probabilities. They then compare...

students research blood's components, and use their math skills to recreate a model of whole blood using commonly found food items.

Students examine the steps and safety procedures in the cheese making process. They make and taste a variety of cheeses comparing their properties.

Young historians compare the major features of the Roman and feudal worlds, such as religion, social hierarchy, and political tenets, using online resources and group discussion.

Tweet all about it! Junior journalists explore the Twittersphere to determine its effectiveness as a news broadcasting tool in the 12th installment of the 16-part Social Media Toolbox. Participants follow and record their observations of...

After a whole-class discussion of water reservoirs, ten liters of water are given to each lab group to represent Earth's total amount of water. They divide the water into smaller containers, each representing one of those reservoirs. The...

On your mark, get set, match! Learners use a complete set of letters, matching each to its outlined letter on an arc. As they choose letters, they name them aloud. For added difficulty, another arc is missing most of its letters to...

Students observe models of fractional parts. After writing the definitions of percent, part and whole, students use the calculators and computers to solve problems. Individually, they complete assigned problems where the convert the...

Students become part of the solution as they practice figuring percents. The number of men versus women present in the room and their heights can be used to form the basis of this investigation.

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.
