The generation of a number, or shape pattern, is the focus of this math lesson. Pupils are presented with a variety of patterns shapes, and number patterns, then use worksheets embedded in the plan to gain further practice. The...

Let's partition rectangles into equal parts. Assess learners on their ability to divide shapes into equal parts, and their ability to explain their thinking.

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...

In this area of shapes unit, upper graders participate in hands-on problem solving activities to find the formulas for the area of a parallelogram, a triangle, and a trapezoid. They manipulate the geoboard to explore relationships among...

Project this visual fraction problem for the entire class, covering up the explanation below. Learners examine two rectangles segmented into equal parts, each with part shaded. They convert each into fractions and reduce to lowest terms...

Using a Smart Board, or a plain ol' white board or chalkboard, the teacher pulls up a grid and demonstrates how squares and rectangles can be divided up into equal parts. The class will get their own graph paper to draw shapes and divide...

Young scholars convert decimals and fractions to percents. In this introductory percents lesson, learners work with equivalent fractions and learn to draw ratios. They recognize how to change a fraction to a percent.

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...

How can fractions that look different be considered equivalent? Answer that questions with this informative and easy to follow resource. Fractions are shown in numeric and picture form to reinforce how the are equivalent. The process for...

Upper elementary and middle school pupils fill out a chart creating six equivalent fractions and then compare them to six different objects and/or shapes. They group together 16 various terms related to ratios and proportions. Pupils...

The next lesson in a math series builds off the previous one in which learners estimated fraction amounts using fraction bars. Here, pupils view equivalent fractions with unlike denominators using fraction bars. Lastly,...

In this topology instructional activity, 7th graders solve and complete 12 different problems that include shapes and math distortion. First, they use the forms of capital letters as guides, stretch or bend the shape in the first column...

Trace the links between a variety of math concepts in this far-reaching unit. Ideas that seem very different on the outset (like the distance formula and rigid transformations) come together in very natural and logical ways. This...

Learners participate in a number of hands-on shape-related activities. They match and sort shapes by attribute, read books about shapes, complete shape art projects and explore and compare parts of shapes.

Young scholars practice moving different shaped objects through a series of transformations. In groups, they discuss other ways to manipulate the figure to achieve the same results. They solve multiple story problems in the same manner.

Elementary and secondary learners investigate various concepts related to the study of fractions. They use word problems during the introduction to parts of a fraction and proceed to some of the basic operations of using fractions. The...

Which fraction is greater than? Less than? There are 10 problems here that give scholars a visual approach to comparing fractions. They start by writing the fractions represented in a shaded shape. Then, they begin comparing visual...

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

Do your students have what it takes to be the king of math? Find out with this fun skills practice game that covers a wide range of topics from counting and basic operations to measurement and fractions.

Young scholars identify real world objects as shapes they have learned. In this 3-D shapes worksheet, students identify shapes such as a cube for a box, a sphere for a globe, and a cylinder for a soup can.

Your learners connect the new concepts of transformations in the coordinate plane to their previous knowledge using the solid vocabulary development in this unit. Like a foreign language, mathematics has its own set of vocabulary terms...

Jump into equivalent fractions using these fun scenarios for mathematicians to solve. First, they use geoboards to find different ways to divide a rectangle in half. Then, an alien from the planet Fractional is after one half of their...

In this equal parts worksheet, learners, working with a partner, study, formulate and calculate the answers to six word problems or drawings.

Students relate topology to polygons. In this geometry lesson, students make the connection between different shapes and topologically equivalent relationships. They use Mobius strips to create and move shapes around.
