In this math skills worksheet, students solve 10 multiple choice math problems that require them to multiply using decimals. Students may view the correct answers.

Learners describe importance of fractions in everyday life by identifying equivalent fractions and manipulating pizza pieces to show examples of equivalent fractions, and demonstrate knowledge of how whole can be divided into equal-sized...

Learners explore tessellations that are found in nature and everyday objects. They observe the works of M.C. Escher. Students create their own tessellations using pencil and paper.

Students recognize the need for a standard unit of volume. They estimate and measure to the nearest liter. Also they relate the liter to the familiar everyday containers.

In this math skills worksheet, students solve 9 multiple choice math problems that require them to read and interpret charts. Students may view the correct answers.

Students explore the concept of multiplication by using pizza. They read an article discussing how math is used everyday. They try to determine how many pizzas they would need to feed the class.

Students explore patterns in everyday life and in the mathematic world. They create various concrete examples of patterns and verbally describe these patterns to a fellow student.

In this time activity, students solve word problems asking about specific amounts of time. Students complete 10 multiple choice questions.

Author Faith Ringgold uses quilts to illustrate her books Tar Beach and Aunt Harriet's Underground Railroad. For this integrated trio of activities, young scholars read stories, identify and create patterns, and design quilt squares of...

Pupils investigate different equations and think critically how they could represent a real-life situation. They should write a word problem to coincide with the given equations. The lesson requires students to use critical thinking skills.

Students brainstorm and discuss ways math is all around them, explain in writing how they solve math problems, describe mathematical ideas in writing, and create original story problems.

There is a lot to learn about fractions, and this is a fun way to do it! Individuals participate in a Cyberchase activity to describe a fraction in terms of sharing parts of a whole. They determine the meaning of the parts of a fraction,...

In this decimals worksheet, students solve 18 different types of problems that include both decimals and non-decimals. First, they subtract the measurement problems given both in metric units and in US units. Then, students subtract the...

Students use Cuisenaire rods to explore common denominators. In this fractions lesson, students build Cuisenaire representations of fractions, then find their equivalent counterparts to find the common denominator.
