Making a Paper Cube Using a One Dimensional Net

Supplement your lesson on improper fractions with this simple resource. Working on number lines labeled with whole numbers between 0 and 5, young mathematicians represent basic improper fractions with halves and thirds. The fractions...

Now that your learners recognize two-dimensional shapes, can they find what each half of those shapes would look like? There are seven shapes on this worksheet, bisected by a dotted line. Scholars examine these shapes and match them to a...

Understanding when to divide by two or one-half can be confusing. Here is an activity that gives four different scenarios. It is up to your number crunchers to decide if they divide by two or one-half. The easiest way to approach the...

The second of eight videos on rounding whole numbers to the nearest 10 or 100 describes how to use a number line to create benchmark numbers. A review of place value and counting by 10s starts off the lesson, followed by a discussion on...

Visually introduce the idea of solving for a variable in a one-step equation. The lesson incorporates a number line to show that you can only add one particular number to get the answer you want. 

Students practice solving one-step equations. In this one-step equation lesson, students examine the proper use of order of operations when solving for one variable and show that they are able to use inverse operations to solve problems....

Using a number line to round to the nearest hundred is a snap after watching this video. This sixth of eight videos walks through a review explanation of benchmark numbers, rounding, and midpoints. It then gives several examples of how...

Organization is the best way to make sure that ratios are set up correctly to be proportional. This video reviews how to solve ratio problems with addition and multiplication, shown in more detail in the prior two videos of this series,...

Organize fractions and decimals all on one number line. This last video of a seven-part series places different numbers onto horizontal and vertical number lines and shows their relationship to one another. Learners are expected to know...

Introduce the idea of three dimensional figures by creating nets. Learners watch how nets can be folded up to create the figure of their choice. The goal is to match a net with the correct 3-D figure.
