Why do all sizes of pictures not show the same thing? Class members analyze aspect ratios of various sizes of photos. They determine which sizes have equivalent ratios and figure out why some pictures need to be cropped to fit...

A short assessment has individuals determine the scale of a house plan. They use the scale to calculate the size of a door and window that need to be replaced, and then divide a bedroom in two, calculating the size of rooms created.

Mathematicians answer five questions about percents, ratios, and proportions with help from an interactive graduated cylinder. Question types include multiple-choice, fill-in-the-blank, and discussion. 

Mathematicians make representations of fractional parts of a whole and learn that a decimal is another way to represent a fractional part. Understanding is extended by comparing and ordering fractions and decimals on a number line. This...

After looking at four examples of shapes divided into two exactly equal parts, junior geometers try their hand. One valuable thing about this worksheet is that the shapes are not only the standard circle, square, and triangle, but also...

First graders create fraction creatures by using 1 inch squares of construction paper. In this fractions lesson plan, 1st graders name the fractions within their whole creatures.

Second graders practice unit fractions to identify parts of the whole and parts of a set. They utilize a variety of manipulative's including recipe boxes to get them started stirring up fractions. A multitude of books on fractions are...

Second graders become familiar with the fractions in a whole.  In this sheet cake activity, 2nd graders view a Count on it clip about pumpkin pies.  Students cut a sheet cake into eight parts and write as a fraction. ...

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...

Sometimes a skeleton is all you get. This lesson plan outline provides teachers with a basic lesson plan flow. Pupils will pre-test, order place value names, use manipulatives, and build and compare numbers. How this is to be done is not...

Students write a fraction to tell what part of a region is shaded, name the numerator and denominator of a fraction and identify equivalent fractions.

Students study the concept of equivalent fractions using naming concepts.

In this equivalent fractions learning exercise, students shade the pie parts that the first fraction shows and shade the same amount of pie in the second picture. Students then write the second fraction. Students then write fractions...

In this beginning fractions worksheet, students complete an activity at home with a parent in which five different foods are divided into portions indicated on the worksheet and then eaten.

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

Students are introduced to mixed expressions and complex fractions. They work through several problems with the instructor and then complete a worksheet.

In this fraction division worksheet, students learn to find parts to complete division problems. Students write division sentences to help them find the parts.

In this fractions activity, students read an instruction sheet on the procedure for multiplying simple fractions. All steps are illustrated. There are no problems to solve.

Mixed numbers can be added conceptually, algorithmically, and physically. Have the class visualize mixed numbers by adding fraction bars together. They then discover the algorithmic process that simplifies adding mixed numbers. Finally,...

Scholars first learn to solve two-step equations with fractional coefficients and constants by traditional methods and by clearing the denominator. They continue by learning another approach to solve two-step equations that have decimal...
