Elementary schoolers generate and manipulate fractions. They review equivalent fractions and use an analog clock to create and add fractions. Pupils work in groups to complete two fraction worksheets.

There's nothing better than using a cooking instructional activity to teach about fractions! In this clever instructional activity, young chefs must determine the proper amounts of ingredients while using a standard measuring cup. The...

Fifth graders practice fraction skills by making quilts using paper or cloth for the squares and rectangles. Each square of the quilt is an equivalent fraction which they design. Students can also use this activity to demonstrate how to...

Students investigate relationships among fractions and use cut out pizzas and fraction circles to compare equivalent fractions. They exchange fractional parts of construction paper pizza circles to use as many different fractional parts...

Learners create a set of fraction circles using a paper folding technique. They fold 10 inch circles of paper into the indicated fractions, identify the fractions, and use them to show equivalency.

Second graders identify and name fractional parts through the use of mud pie manipulatives. In this fractional manipulatives lesson, 2nd graders identify and label halves, thirds, fourths, sixths, eighths, and tenths and order them...

Students use fractions and words to find a coded message and the first student to solve the message wins a candy bar.

First graders demonstrate various ways to represent and verify a whole or set separated in two, three, or four equal parts. Using interlocking cubes, Students model a part of a whole or a part of a set. They use appropriate tools and...

Students build their own lemonade stand. In this problem solving lesson, students measure the materials needed to build a stand and make lemonade. They find the cost of producing the lemonade and the profit they will make. 

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,...

Fifth graders explore fractions of whole numbers as they make fraction bead necklaces.

Learners work collaboratively to gain a better understanding of the vastness of space by scaling down the solar system. They measure by inches, gain an understanding of space, and model the distances of the planets from the sun.

Seventh graders simulate the capture-recapture method of population sampling using beans. In this biology lesson, 7th graders calculate the total population of beans in the bowl. They assess whether this method is reliable or not.

Students determine sea ice thickness, concentration, and floe size by reading egg codes.  For this sea ice conditions lesson, students color code a map based on prescribed criteria and use the maps to identify changes in sea ice...

Learners research additional information about questions on their worksheet. In this energy activity, students develop visual aids of their proposed solution to the problem. They present their work in class.

Middle schoolers design a United States flag using reasoning. They describe their design to make it easy for it to be duplicated. They share their designs with the class.

Learners describe stellar objects using terms such as stars, planets, satellites, orbits and light. In this sun and stars unit, students research stellar objects through seven individual lessons discovering star characteristics, how...
