Fifth graders review adding, subtracting, multiplication and division of fractions and decimals through a variety of activities and exercises.

Eighth graders identify that a ratio is a comparison of two numbers and that a proportion is an equation that equates two ratios. They identify the extremes and means of proportions, as well as the product of the extremes equals the...

Fifth graders engage in the study of conversions from decimals to percents while examining monetary values. They explain the relationships between the equivalency interchanging decimals with percents. Then students write about the...

Students look at ratio, what it means for numbers or objects to be in a given ratio, and how ratios and fractions are related. They write and solve story problems which involve whole numbers, using addition, subtraction, multiplication,...

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 work with dominoes to recognize the number of spots on each side as they relate to addition facts. In this seeing doubles lesson, students make triangle shaped flash cards for the double facts. Students represent the correct...

Students discuss the difference between earned and unearned income. They use addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division (with whole numbers, fractions, decimals and/or percents, mixed numbers) to solve real-world math problems...

In this decimal practice learning exercise, students write the fractions as decimals and the number words as decimals. Students also write a decimal for the shaded parts.

Students practice performing various accounting functions. Given analysis records, they prepare cost and revenue analysis based on specific criteria. They complete handouts and review their answers as a class. They also discuss the...

Fifth graders at this age are very interested in the adventures of knighthood and life in the past, so the unit will serve as a basis for teaching skills while maintaining high interest.

Pupils practice graphing a linear equation and a parabolic equation. They work cooperatively to select numbers, including fractions, which they will put into ordered pairs. Students explain their process to the class, discussing what...

A hands-on lesson created students use beans as manipulatives to solve addition number sentences. Requires the book, Mission Addition by Loreen Leedy.

Students become part of the solution as they practice figuring percents. The number of men versus women present in the room and their heights can be used to form the basis of this investigation.

Sixth graders investigate probability. They use ratios to solve simple probability situations. Students express their solutions in the form of fractions or decimals. They predict outcomes and complete probability worksheets.

Students use an Internet tool, The Take-Away Bar" to solve subtraction problems. They use mental strategies to subtract a two-digit number from a larger two-digit number. Students write and solve subtraction problems. They describe...

Students practice fraction skills online at the "Want Some Pizza" website. They complete activities via the internet and on square grid paper. They pull down tabs to check their answers.

In this decimal place value chart instructional activity, students work independently to fill in the blanks on the chart so that the numbers equal out correctly and the missing words are stated correctly.

Students solve problems dealing with percents using "is over of" algorithm.

High schoolers observe projectile motion and calculate the speed of a baseball based on the time and distance traveled. They record the time, measure the distance, and draw the path of the ball's travel on a data table.

How are skyscrapers built? What does it take to make a structurally sound building? How can one work within a budget to complete a building project? These guiding questions will be investigated and answered within a hands-on lesson....

Young mathematicians extend their knowledge of rational numbers on a number line to graph inequalities by first using number cards to compare rational numbers. They finish by using similar reasoning to graph inequalities on a number line.

Scholars identify and continue the numerical pattern for the number of wheels on a train. Using the established pattern and its inverse, they determine whether a number of wheels is possible. Pupils finish...

Students practice grade level math skills. In this math lesson, students solve math facts on index cards and collaboratively arrange them in numerical order on a jump rope. Correct order earns the team a chance to physically move towards...
