The purpose of this task is to present students with a context where they need to explain why two simple fractions are equivalent and are most appropriate for instruction. Students can illustrate the fact that the two fractions are...

Sixth graders participate in several activities to practice operations with decimals, fractions, and the distributive property.

Interactive fraction bars allow practice with mixed and equivalent fractions, decimals, and percents. Use Safari and/or Chrome browser.

The purpose of this task is to provide students with an opportunity to explain fraction equivalence through visual models in a particular example. Part (c) should be approached as a discussion before students are asked to write an...

In this interactive lesson, students will experience the engineering design process as an aerospace engineer assigned to design and test an airplane.

In this interactive, use logic to solve riddles involving a wallaby jumping contest. Add two consecutive jumps and place them on a number line, finding equivalent fractions and common denominators to do so. Backward jumps represent...

Given a set of fractions students will be able to compare unit fractions by using models to determine that the more equal parts there are in the whole, the smaller each part will be. This lesson includes a detailed plan, samples of...

The purpose of this task is to help students see the connection between a/b and a/b in a particular concrete example. The relationship between the division problem 3/8 and the fraction 3/8 is actually very subtle. Aligns with 5.NF.B.3.

What is a ratio? How can we create equivalent ratios? Students work to express and extend relationships using ratios.

Convert mixed numbers or mixed fractions to percents. The mixed number to percentage calculator finds the decimal equivalent by finding the decimal value of the fraction, adding the decimal to the whole number part of the mixed number,...
