Sometimes the best things are already done for you! Here is a six-problem quiz that has a variety of problems ranging from solving quadratic equations to interpreting a function. The piece-de-resistance is the worked out answer key in...

Young mathematicians use fraction names and symbols to describe fractional parts of whole objects or sets of objects. They construct concrete models of fractions, and compare fractional parts of whole objects in a problem situation using...

Learners explore equal fractions in relationship to a whole unit. They fold strips of paper into halves, thirds, etc. and compare them to the first strip which represents a "whole unit." Fractional parts are identified and compared.

Aspiring astronomers solve problems involving mixed units of the same attribute, including time, money, length, and area. They convert large numbers into scientific notation, then compute and compare ratios to explain why drawing...

Sixth graders examine making smaller parts out of fractions and decimals. In this online interactive fractions, decimals, and percents instructional activity, 6th graders represent fractions with denominators of ten. Students then...

Upper graders explore fractions to determine a fractional part of a whole. They are given 30 pieces of popcorn and asked to divide it into halves, thirds, etc. Students practice representing the popcorn groups as a numerator and...

Which ones are equivalent? Scholars examine four fraction models to determine which ones represent the same fraction. This is a great way to help kids with numerators and denominators, as they can physically count the total number of...

Kindergarteners explore numbers, counting, and one-to-one correspondence. Through demonstrations and hands on activities using math manipulatives, they discover several number concepts as well as practice counting throught rote...

Pupils match the place values with the numbers they represent. The one-page worksheet could be used for independent practice or to assess young mathematicians' understanding of the concept that the two digits of a two-digit number...

Young statisticians are introduced to box plots and quartiles. They use an activity and discussion with supplemental exercises to help them explore how data can be graphically represented.

Fifth and sixth graders use food and candy to help them represent division of fractions and develop algorithms to solve fraction problems. They discuss dividing whole numbers by fractions. Pupils use sticks and chocolate bars to...

Students will be offered numerous opportunities to further enhance their observational skills as well as the integration of math with their continual exposure to the metric system, measurement, and graphing to represent their data....

Pupils multiply positive and negative integers. They represent word expressions with both positive and negative integers and then multiply them. They also create multiplication problems to solve as a class. They create a rhyme, a story,...

In this multiplication by 10s worksheet, 5th graders solve and complete 30 different problems that include multiples of 10. First, they complete the problems in the first section by multiplying each number given times 10. Then, students...

Practice using different ways to express a single pattern. The class uses concrete, pictorial, and numerical modes to represent patterns found in a simple rhyme. They will move their bodies, use body percussion, draw, and use numbers to...

Young mathematicians solve arithmetic and simple algebraic equations using properties of real numbers, equality, and inequality. Justifying the procedures is their next task. They solve a problem involving linear inequality and justify...

It's time to go back over all that your class has learned about decimals, fractions, and percentages! To do so, individuals solve story problems that involve addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division with decimals, explain how...

Students use ratios and proportions to represent quantitative relationships as they investigate the concept of how percentages are used by designers. Students decorate the same room using three different percentages of colors.

Sixth graders engage in an investigation about the concepts related to fractions. They read, represent, compare, and order proper and improper fractions, and mixed numbers. They demonstrate an understanding of relationships involving...
