Deepen the fractional number sense of young learners with this introductory lesson on equivalent fractions. After completing a short warm-up activity, children go on to work in pairs using fraction circles to complete a table of...

Fourth graders receive a fraction circle and show how each different part makes a whole. Students compare the different fractions that make up a whole. Students choose 2 fractions which are inside a bucket and they compare them both...

Students name and draw fractions by using their fractions circles. In this rational numbers and fraction lesson plan, students name mixed numbers and improper fractions using their fraction circles.

Here is a good fractions lesson which invites learners to fold paper strips to represent an equivalent fraction to the fraction model using chips or tiles displayed on the overhead. They arrange chips to represent a given fraction.

Fourth graders find new names for fractions.  In this equivalent fractions lesson plan, 4th graders use manipulatives to model fractions and rename them. Students recognize that the new names show equivalent fractions....

Fourth graders compare and order fractions in a fraction game activity. In this fraction game lesson plan, 4th graders play a game that requires them to add fractions with like denominators and compare fractions. Students create posters...

Students practice identifying fractional parts represented in pictures and phrases. In this fraction lesson, students determine the proportion represented by common time and money phrases such as "3 hours in a day". Students match their...

Learners demonstrate how to solve addition and subtraction of fractions. In this fractions lesson, students use folded paper to shade in fractional parts and identify the sum of the parts shaded.

Fifth graders examine fractional parts of pie graphs. Given a bag of M&Ms, 5th graders interpret the data. They use a paper plate and colors to create a graph of the types of M&Ms represented.

Learners differentiate between the different properties of arcs, arc lengths, chords, and chord lengths. In this circles lesson, students calculate the arc length of a given circle, and find the measure of the inscribed angles of a...

Students are introduced to the concept of symmetry by examining different shapes and folding them into equal halves. They work in small groups focusing on finding the lines of symmetry of one specific shape. A symmetry booklet is made by...

Second graders observe and design manipulatives showing fractional parts.  In this fractional part activity, 2nd graders create a paper hamburger using circle fractions.  Students navigate a website to find fractional parts of...

Students recognize the fractional values of window panes as part of the whole window. In this window panes lesson, students listen to a story about window panes and sing a song. Students look at pictures of windows and write fractions...

Sixth graders use different measuring tools to measure area, perimeter, and circumference of different shapes. In this measurement lesson plan, 6th graders measure parallelograms, triangles, and circles.

Third graders are introduced to a game in which each card they receive will have half of a book title on it. They find the person who has the other half of the title and they sit down in a circle. Students when whisper what they know...

Seventh graders are grouped according to their ability level with a captain who is elected by the students in that particular group. Students demonstrate their knowledge of rational and irrational numbers by defining them. Students use a...

Sixth graders investigate different types of angles. In this geometry instructional activity, 6th graders use a protractor to identify acute, obtuse, and straight angles.

Students identify the two-dimensional geometric shapes Lowrey utilized in the painting Untitled. Students compare the two-dimensional shapes in terms of equivalent fractions, congruency, symmetry and asymmetry. Students create their own...
