Deal me in! Elementary and middle school classes will love this selection of math games, all involving a deck of cards. From fractions to exponents to rounding up and down, the games cover such a variety of skills that your classroom...

Divide fractions just like a model does. Pupils visualize the division of a fraction by a whole number by creating models. Scholars make the connection between dividing by a whole number and multiplication before practicing the skill...

Have fun with fractions in a math card game activity! Cut out the fraction cards and use them to reinforce fraction concepts, including common denominators, parts of a whole, and equivalent fractions. 

Piece by piece young scholars build a basic understanding of fractions in a Common Core-designed elementary math lesson plan. Through a series of hands-on activities and journaling exercises, and with the help...

Teach class members to work with rational expressions using their knowledge of fractions. The lesson plan starts with a warm-up of rational expressions at four different levels of complexity. The different levels continue throughout...

It is all about being equivalent. Class members convert between fractions, decimals, and percents. By using visual models, scholars verify their conversions in the 25th portion of a 29-part series.

Connect division with multiplication through the use of models. Groups solve problems involving the division of a whole number by a fraction using models. The groups share their methods along with the corresponding division and...

Engage young mathematicians in learning about fractions with this cross-curricular math and music lesson. After listening to and repeating different beat patterns, children realize that musical notes are just another way of representing...

Use a unit approach in developing a fraction division strategy. The teacher leads a discussion on division containing units, resulting in a connection between the units and like denominators. Pupils develop a rule in dividing fractions...

Extend percent understandings to include percents less than one and greater than 100. A great lesson has pupils build upon their knowledge of percents from sixth grade. They convert between fractions, decimals, and percents that are less...

What percentage of your class understands percents? Pupils learn the meaning of percents based upon rates per 100 in the 24th lesson in a series of 29. They represent percents as fractions, decimals, ratios, and models. The scholars...

Common Core mathematical practices require that young mathematicians not only know how to add fractions with unlike denominators, but also to recognize when adding fractions are appropriate for the word problem. Fifth graders are given...

Solving these percent problems is a matter of counting. Pupils find percents by counting the number of events that meet the criteria and the total number of possibilities. Participants create the ratio and convert it to a percent to...
