In this beginning fractions instructional activity, students read and follow directions to create fractional parts of shapes and then write the fraction they have made.

In this math worksheet, students examine 3 sets of shapes. In each set, there is one figure that has been divided evenly and one that has not. Students color the shape that shows an equal division.

Factoring polynomials is an essential part of writing equivalent expressions and algebraic problem solving. Here is a card game that serves an engaging activity for reviewing factoring of polynomials.

Scholars crave practical application. Let them use the different models of a quadratic function to plan the size and shape of a school playground. They convert between the different forms and maximize area.

Graph A goes with equation C, but table B. The short assessment task requires class members to match graphs with their corresponding tables, equations, and verbalized rules. Pupils then provide explanations on the process they used to...

Let your class voice their opinions with a group debate activity. Before reading John Milton's Paradise Lost, they work in small groups in assigned roles to form a position about authority and rebellion, comparing a...

Use graphing, counting, and number lines to help first graders learn about addition and subtraction. An array of worksheets and activities are an excellent resource for your math lesson, whether you are focusing on counting skills...

Explore the concept of the equals symbol. For this mathematical symbols lesson, learners discover the meaning of the equals sign (symbol). They also construct addition and subtraction sentences to understand the concept of equal parts.

Have your class predict whether objects will sink or float in water. Learners consider a data table of mass, volume and whether the object sank or floated. They develop an evidence-based explanation for the results.

Second graders, in pairs, use various geometric shapes to represent fractional parts and divide them into equal parts.

In this fraction worksheet, students determine which shape is divided into equal parts and check their answer. Students then look at shaded parts of a whole and circle the correct fraction. Finally, students determine the fraction for...

Students discuss shapes and their characteristics. As a class, they explore shapes made from a square. Students explore triangles, squares, fractions of a square such as a half and a quarter. Individually, they complete worksheets, and...

For this fraction worksheet, 2nd graders analyze basic fractions. Students complete 8 questions, coloring only those that show equal parts.

Fourth graders study fractions. In this fractions lesson, 4th graders define fraction-related vocabulary words. Students use beads to study fractions. Students draw shapes to study fraction equivalency and brainstorm fractions they use...

Students take an Internet field trip to research fractions. ESOL strategies include using pattern block manipulatives and pairing ESOL and non-ESOL students on computers.

First graders explore fractions with manipulatives. In this fraction lesson, 1st graders use paper foods such as sandwiches and pizza in order to find halves, thirds, fourths, eighths, and more. This lesson is divided up into 3 tiers...

Students, after reading the explanation given below, use FoilSim to determine the weight of the aircraft that can be lifted by a pair of wings of each type. They also design a unique platform of a wing to lift a plane weighing 11500 pounds.

Groups of learners create an animation illustrating fractions using common objects. They choose everyday objects that they can divide into fractions. They take pictures of the objects dividing into fractions and create an animation with...

Place value to the millions is the focus of this math lesson. Third and fourth graders investigate multiple ways to represent a number. They examine place value while studying factual information about Pablo Picasso. Resources are provided.

Students analyze relationship between the increase in polygons sides and a circle. In this geometry lesson, students relate the size of the central angle of a polygon, to a circle. They compare the formula for the area of a polygon and a...
