Represent fractions visually using shape models. Scholars color in two sets of shapes to represent specific fractions: 2/3 and 3/4. The shapes are segmented into equivalent fractions for most of these, so scholars need to understand this...

Work with fractional cookies. The three-part assessment task checks the pupils' ability to find the product of fractions and whole numbers, mixed numbers, or fractions. Learners determine the amount of ingredients needed and how many of...

Use a unit approach in developing a fraction division strategy. The teacher leads a discussion on division containing units, resulting in a connection between the units and like denominators. Pupils develop a rule in dividing fractions...

In this fractional parts of a number worksheet, students read and solve 6 story problems that pertain to fractional parts of a whole number.

Investigate relationships between angles, arcs, and segments in circles. Pupils use geometry software to discover the relationships between angles, arcs, and segments associated with circles. Class members use similar triangles to...

Asses the class to determine their knowledge of proportional relationships involving percents. Class members work through the nine-question assessment with a variety of percent problems. The multi-step problems involve simple interest,...

Sometimes dealing with decimals is so much easier than dealing with fractions. The ninth activity in a 21-part module has the class consider situations when it might be easier to add or subtract fractions by first converting to...

Apply area concepts to help farmers and settle county disputes. Scholars use a given diagram and information about an insecticide spraying campaign to determine the monetary benefit to farmers. They then decide which of two counties has...

For this recognizing fractions worksheet, students observe explanations and examples of pie charts and bars and use them to color, write the fraction of the shaded part, and draw and color pie charts. They will solve thirty-two problems.

Sixth graders identify how fractions and decimals both illustrate parts of a whole. They estimate which number is greater by comparing them to the given fraction and use greater than or less than symbols for each.

Use segmented shapes to introduce scholars to fractions before they even have learned about numerators and denominators (although this is a great way to introduce these terms!). The first section has four multiple-choice problems:...

Calling all fraction novices! Use sets of objects to introduce scholars to fractions before they even have learned about numerators and denominators (but this is a great way to introduce these terms!). The first section has four...

Visualize methods of finding percents. Classmates find a percent of a quantity using two methods including a visual model in the 26th lesson in a series of 29. By the end of the lesson, scholars find percents given a part and the whole...

The commutative property of multiplication applies not only to whole numbers but to fractions as well. Connor and Makayla explore and discuss the idea that 2/3 x 3 is the same as 3 x 2/3. Your 5th grade class will connect with...

Work with small and large numbers alike with a place-value activity. After writing the value of selected numbers, fourth graders write what happens to each number if they change certain parts of it. 

What is the connection between equivalent ratios? Class members first find the multiplication factor used to create equivalent ratios. Next, they take that information to determine whether ratios are equivalent. The second lesson on...

Find Pythagorean Triples like the ancient Babylonians. The resource presents the concept of Pythagorean Triples. It provides the system of equations the Babylonians used to calculate Pythagorean Triples more than 4,000 years ago. Pupils...

Show examples of fractions in the real world to help scholars grasp this complex concept. Because there is only one word problem here with an answer detailed below, this is ideal as an all-class warm up. Learners examine an image of a...

Once scholars have a grasp on adding fractions, it's time to throw some mixed numbers into the equation! Each of these 14 addition problems has one mixed number and one proper fraction. Skills here include finding a common denominator,...

Show kids that addition has real-life applications as they add up measurements and money. There are some examples here demonstrating regrouping and including units in an answer. They complete 20 measurement addition problems, each with...

One of the most common, everyday applications of math is dealing with money. This single problem calculating how much change Margie receives is more involved than it appears at first glance. An understanding of how fractions and decimals...

Explore the relationship between multiplication and division as scholars fill in these number sentences, each of which is missing a symbol. Is it a multiplication or division equation? There are 18 of these to start, all written...

This is an exercise in finding the greatest common factor of two whole numbers. Use in direct instruction or as part of your guided practice. Make up additional problems for home work. It also can be used as a mini-assessment or test...

Challenge your eggheads with this task! They write ratios of good, rotten, and broken eggs. Then they write ratios for different-colored marbles. A straightforward assignment that provides needed practice when first learning ratio format.
