Practice, practice, practice! Use this resource to help kids practice ordering and comparing fractions. There are six problems where they compare two fractions, two where they order fractions smallest to largest, and one where they fill...

Comparing equivalent fractions is one of the most difficult math concepts to teach to youngsters. How can numbers that look so different actually represent the same thing? This presentation takes a lot of the mystery out of equivalent...

Have your class practice converting fractions to decimals, adding decimals, comparing fractions, and more. Following a game format, learners solidify important skills while solving problems involving fractions and decimals.

As a critical-thinking activity, this series of problems would be a great supplemental activity to use after a unit on fractions. The solutions require a good deal of thought and allow learners to tap into their problem solving abilities.

This fractions PowerPoint defines and gives examples of multiples and least common multiple, then models how to list multiples and circle the least common multiple. Each step to use in subtracting fractions with unlike denominators is...

These presentations by Monica Yuskaitis are particularly good. In this one, she shows viewers how to deal with subtracting fractions that have unlike denominator, no small task! This is a tricky process, and this PowerPoint takes young...

In this math PowerPoint, the process of adding fractions with unlike denominators is broken down into a logical, easy-to-follow sequence of steps. Definitions and examples of multiples, least common multiple, and least common denominator...

This PowerPoint demonstrates how to add mixed numbers with unlike denominators. The slides display examples of problems, along with steps that students can easily follow.

Solving systems of equations underpins much of advanced algebra, especially linear algebra. Developing an intuition for the kinds and descriptions of solutions is key for success in those later courses. This intuition is exactly what...

Does the explanation make sense? Sample items highlight claim three, communicating reason, in the Smarter Balanced assessments. Teachers use the 16 items to help show pupils the importance of communication and reasoning within...
