Students explore finding the percent of a numbers. They survey their peers to determine modes of transportation used in getting to school. Afterward, students organize information and create graphs and charts. They explore alternative...

In this fractions, decimals, and percents worksheet, students read about the process of converting fractions, decimals, and percents. Students then complete conversion charts independently.

Learners engage in a lesson introducing them to the concept of return on investment, or ROI. Return on investment is a basic principle that should be understood before investing money.

Third graders use the instructional activity to support division of whole numbers where there is either no remainder or whole number remainders. They are able to slit division problems into parts using known multiplication and division...

Learners utilize number sense applications to multiply two digit numbers. They use "The Multiplier" and Internet source to partition and solve 2 digit by 1 digit multiplications. Students describe how to solve 2-digit by 1-digit...

Learners discover that magic squares are interesting objects in both mathematics proper and in recreational mathematics. So they are objects that students should have heard about and experienced.

Sixth graders experiment with dice, playing cards, pennies and computer-generated simulations to calculate probability. They use compiled data to make predictions.

In this division game learning exercise, students will work in small groups to play a game about dividing numbers. A teacher's guide with game instructions is included.

Sixth graders interpret, create, and display data in a circle graph. In this circle graph lesson plan, 6th graders use a compass, protractors, pizza boxes, and more to create a circle graph and analyze the data they put into it.

Learners discover the need for a universal measurement system. They practice using basic metric units in measuring distance and weight.

Students gather information by analyzing graphs, diagrams and pie charts. In this graphs and diagrams lesson, students complete addition and subtraction problems. Students discuss a pie chart. Students use information to crate a stacked...

Students practice and review fractions in a game format.

Students research the animals at SeaWorld and then relate the info they have found into various types of graphs; line, circle and bar. This lesson combines math and science nicely. They access a website imbedded in this plan to do their...

Students explore mathematical problem solving. Given a case problem, students write a rule to solve problems involving decimal multiplication and division. They invent problems, share them with the class, and solve other student's...

Students make sensible estimates and check for reasonable results. They also solve problems with positive and negative integers using practical activities or models as needed.

Students practice this problem that needs a certain amount of experimentation (trial and error) to get any answer at all. In the process they practice their basic number facts. However, to get the complete set of answers Students need to...

Fourth graders using the idea of "how many more squirts" fill a container to develop multiplicative thinking. They also investigate the idea of conservation of volume when working with oddly shaped containers. They attempt to use...

Students use seconds, minutes, and hours. They then discuss the size of a thousand. After that they read time in digital or analogue form.

Young scholars begin the lesson by examining Census data from the state of Ohio from 1990 and 2000. Using a worksheet, they solve problems using the data and a calculator. They share their responses with the class and discuss what the...

This unit encourages students to assess the validity of a set of statements and then plan and carry out investigations to find out whether the statements are true. Students then carry out statistical investigations of their own.

Pupils use the lesson, "Squirt", to support students' development of multiplicative thinking. Squirt encourages pupils to anticipate multiplicative measurement relationships, e.g. three measures of A fit in B, by partially filling a...

Third graders estimate the volume and mass of one marshmallow using appropriate standard units. They design and carry out an investigation to find the average of volume/mass of one marshmallow.

Students listen to the problem read to them. They answer some simple questions using number sentences. They then compose a written record of the solution and share their approaches used.

In this mathematical instructional activity, students convert fifteen metric units of capacity and multiply and divide whole numbers by 10, 100 and 1000.
