Fifth graders engage in a "layered" unit of discovery. There are three levels of potential learning opportunities, in the spirit of the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver (bronze, silver, gold). The lesson is based upon fractions.

In this fractions and decimals worksheet, 5th graders write 9 fractions as decimals. Each fraction has either one, two, three, or four-digit denominators. A link to the answer key is included.

Fourth graders use kidspiration software to demonstrate understanding of the concept of equivalent fractions. Using a combination of manipulatives, computer software and writing teachers can easily assess student mastery of number sense.

Learners create podcasts of information for reviewing fractions and decimals in this math-based creative project. The lesson uses GarageBand, iTunes, iTalk, and Keynote to accomplish tasks.

Fifth graders practice using money in everyday situations. They use their addition and subtraction skills as they work in cooperative groups to solve problems involving decimals.

In this mixed numbers worksheet, students write mixed numbers that are represented by number lines, decimals, and hundreds blocks. Students complete 3 problems.

In this adding decimals worksheet, students add numbers with decimals to the tenths. Students complete 21 problems total on this worksheet.

In this rational numbers activity, students solve and complete 15 different problems that include comparing and ordering various rational numbers. First, they fill in each blank with the correct symbol to make the sentence true. Then,...

In this Number System activity, students solve thirty problems using mental math and ten with a calculator.  Students also classify numbers as rational or irrational.

This resource should be called "All About Lines, and Then Some!". Packed full of all the key components of linear functions, learners review how to set up different equations, find intercepts, and graph. All the main topics are included...

Students work together to build models of prairie plants. Using the model, they estimate the height and then measure them using metric and standard units. They write a fraction to represent their part of the whole set and compare and...

Explore math concepts as they relate to real world situations. Young analysts consider a personal hobby or favorite sport and list three ways math is involved in the hobby. They create several related math story problems and write a...

Students explore the math concept of percents. For this percents lesson, students examine visual examples of the relationships among fractions, decimals, and percents. Students also practice solving problems that their instructors model.

Compare Beethoven's fifth symphony to latin music and disco. Learners will listen to and discuss the elements found in the first part of Beethoven's composition. They'll then look for the same elements in Tito Puente and Bee Gees songs....

Seventh and eighth graders solve math problems where they multiply positive and negative integers. In this multiplication lesson plan, learners use slate boards to complete problems. The step-by-step plan tells you what to write and say...

Eighth graders read a book "Counting on Frank" with a partner. Using the text, they identify eight clues and use their mathematical reasoning in real-life situations. They participate in a game and turn in a notebook in which they write...

Fifth graders are given a set of manipulatives to use to develop patterns. In groups, they follow the directions to determine which blocks go with which pattern and put them into the correct sequence. To end the instructional activity,...

Students build knowledge about the number relationships between decimals and percents as it relates to converting decimals into percents. In this decimal and percent lesson, students recognize equivalent forms of fractions,...

Students complete a worksheet in which they study the relationships between fractions, decimal, and percents.

Fifth graders explore the concept of percents. For this percent lesson, 5th graders express fractions and decimals as percents. Students convert fractions and decimals as percents in this lecture style lesson.

In this decimal addition and subtraction worksheet, young scholars use a computer program for initial instruction, then complete 22 problems with decimals.

Explore multiplication and division using real life problems, including how to find the cost of soap per bar. Individuals or small groups work to find answers. They then share with the class how they found their answer.

Students study addition of fractions with like denominators using illustrations and problem solving.
