Learners gain practice in the use of fractions, changing fractions, using equivalent fractions, and paying attention to detail. They divide a word into appropriate fractional parts and use equivalent fractions to correctly divide words.

This unit introduces a number of important concepts relating to fractions. The first of these is that fractions represent parts of regions and sets and so are useful in a large variety of situations. Whole numbers are not enough by...

Second graders explain the relative size of fractions using symbolic and concrete representations. Groups of four students play a game which uses cards and unifix cubes. The game helps them get a visual understanding for the 'size' of...

Young scholars solve problems involving exponents. Through a teacher led discussion, students explore the rules of exponents and create cards with "x's" on them. Given a division problem, young scholars lay out "x's" to represent the...

Learners observe and discuss cloud cover. They identify percent of cloud cover, calculate cloud cover by fraction and convert to a percent, and compare their models with the current real sky cloud cover.

Second graders, in pairs, use arrays to explore the relationship between multiplication and division.

Students explore the concept of ordering fractions and finding equivalent fractions. In this ordering fractions and finding equivalent fractions instructional activity, students play a card game where students must collect 5 cards with...

Students measure distances and report them in fractions, convert fractions to decimals, and multiply decimals.

Fifth graders engage in a tasty lesson which assist them with proportional measurements. They use a given recipe written for 12 servings, and use a chart to determine the ingredient amounts for 30 servings (or number of students in class).

Learners measure distances and report them in fractions. They convert fractions to decimals and multiply decimals.

Fifth graders explore the concept of percents. In this percent lesson, 5th graders express fractions and decimals as percents. Students convert fractions and decimals as percents in this lecture style lesson.

Students practice rounding numbers to ones and tens places, multiplying numbers, and working with simple fractions. They study the placement and distances of planets in the Solar System.

In this Care Homework worksheet, students solve a variety of multiple digit addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division problems that include fractions, decimals, and percentages. They demonstrate knowledge of geometric formulas...

Learners identify items commonly sent to landfills and summarize percentages/fractions of different items in landfills Students create a pizza pie graph of landfill components

Young scholars explore ratios and their relationships to fractions. They explain the process of identifying ratios and describe their comparison. Students write ratios as fractions and by using colons. They convert the ratios to...

Fourth graders using the idea of "how many more squirts" fill a container to develop multiplicative thinking. They also investigate the idea of conservation of volume when working with oddly shaped containers. They attempt to use...

First graders review peacemaking strategies by identifying their capacity of creating and promoting peace within their classroom, home, community, and world. Fractions are introduced through the making of a "peace pie."

Students explore mathematical problem solving. Given a case problem, students write a rule to solve problems involving decimal multiplication and division. They invent problems, share them with the class, and solve other student's...

In this mathematical worksheet, learners convert fifteen metric units of capacity and multiply and divide whole numbers by 10, 100 and 1000.

Seventh graders practice math skills while becoming familiar with Texas' "Boom & Bust" economy and the natural history of the east Texas Piney Woods. They utilize worksheets and websites imbedded in this plan.

Seventh graders view overhead maps of Texas, explore history of Aldrige Sawmill, and practice math skills while becoming familiar with Texas' "Boom & Bust" economy and natural history of east Texas Piney Woods.

Seventh graders view a recent transparency of the average rainfall zones of the state of Texas. Using another transparency, they identify the Piney Woods subregion of the Gulf Coastal Plain and locate national forests and sawmills. ...

Young scholars experiment with straight edges and compasses to divide lengths into equal parts. They identify different fractions of the total length.

Students use mathematical thinking and reasoning to translate problems into mathematical language and thereby solve the problems. They extend their understanding of whole number operations to fractions and decimals by participating in...
