Use segmented shapes to introduce scholars to fractions before they even have learned about numerators and denominators (although this is a great way to introduce these terms!). The first section has four multiple-choice problems:...

Approach fractions with these visual models which serve to reinforce numerators and denominators as well as simplifying improper fractions. Scholars examine segmented shapes and fill in a fraction to represent the shaded region. For the...

Geometric shapes make great visual models for introducing young mathematicians to the concept of fractions. Looking at a series of four circles, students are asked to determine whether or not one half of each circle is shaded. To support...

In this recognizing fractions worksheet, students observe explanations and examples of pie charts and bars and use them to color, write the fraction of the shaded part, and draw and color pie charts. They will solve thirty-two problems.

The Green Education Foundation found that this lesson plan, written by the Texas State Energy Conservation Office, is right up their alley when it comes to teaching sustainability. It is ideal as a first lesson plan on photovoltaic...

One of the better presentations on teaching decimals is here for you. In it, learners practice identifying tenths and hundredths by looking at grids of 100 squares that have been shaded. Number lines are also used to give pupils a...

I absolutely love this idea. Kids explore the chiaroscuro technique as they draw, then bite, then write about an apple. They discuss chiaroscuro, depth, shade, perspective, and texture. Then they draw their apples, write a descriptive...

Let's heat things up! This simple experiment demonstrates for students the important role the sun plays in providing the earth with energy. Place one cup of water in direct sunlight and one in shade, then take measurements in order to...

Tenth graders solve and complete 14 different geometry problems. First, they find the area and circumference of a circle with a given radius. Then, they find the area between a circle and an inscribed equilateral triangle given the...

Modelling fractions through shapes is a great way to demonstrate this concept to beginners. Learners examine 12 shapes, each divided into an even number of equal segments (up to 16 parts). They shade in half of each shape by shading half...

What fraction is represented by these shapes? Scholars examine fraction models as they apply basic fraction skills. The first two problems are guided; they look at a set of shapes with some shaded, circling (from three options) the...

Play with paint and decide the ratio to make different shades of green. When mixing paint colors, your painters should decide which ratios make the same shade and what is needed to mix other ratios for a different shade of green. This is...

Student statisticians calculate ratios to determine how many shades of green were mixed by Ms. Baca's art class. They graph the number of blue parts against the number of yellow parts for each combination and discover that some produce...

Students demonstrate how to solve addition and subtraction of fractions. In this fractions lesson, students use folded paper to shade in fractional parts and identify the sum of the parts shaded.

Elementary schoolers evaluate a set of shapes in which some are shaded and some are not. They then write three multiplication sentences for each group of shapes that tells the number that are shaded, not shaded, and total. There are...

In this algebra worksheet, students calculate the maximum and minimum of a shaded region. They identify the boundaries and their vertices's. There are 2 problems.

A well-composed and professional resource can be a wonderful way to add importance to a topic. This presentation is very well done and acts as an assignment which can be completed individually or during whole-class instruction....

Explore fractions visually through segmented shapes. Scholars examine sets of shapes and shade in the given fraction. Each shape is divided into the same number of segments as the denominator of the desired fraction, so beginners aren't...

Is it half? There are three sections to this introductory fractions learning exercise focusing on halves. First graders begin by coloring half of five basic shapes, each of which already is divided into two parts. Next, they examine four...

Set up youngsters for fraction success years down the road with this focus on quarters. They begin with examining five shapes that have been equally segmented into four parts. Using one example as reference, learners shade a quarter of...

Learners find the midpoint between two numbers, shade fractional amounts of rectangles as well as decimal amounts of rectangles, and explain their mathematical reasoning in words. The assessment is a great way to check for understanding...

Kids explore primary and secondary colors, as well as the concepts of tints and shade in a series of color lessons. The packet includes detailed directions for how to use BrainPOP Jr. resources to create learning...

ArtsWork produces some very fine art lesson plans. This one is no exception! In it, learenrs experiment with line to develop skill in creating shapes and patterns. They also play around with shading to create forms. There are six...

Students use a monochromatic palate, select shades and tints for a selected hue, or select complimentary or analogous colors for a quilt design. They design quilt squares using basic geometric shapes, repetition, balance, and proportion.
