Writing Equivalent Fractions

Visual models support young mathematicians as they deepen their fractional number sense in this elementary math lesson. Using fraction circle manipulatives, children explore basic unit fractions as they develop the fundamental...

Jump into equivalent fractions using these fun scenarios for mathematicians to solve. First, they use geoboards to find different ways to divide a rectangle in half. Then, an alien from the planet Fractional is after one half of their...

Deepen the fractional number sense of young learners with this introductory lesson on equivalent fractions. After completing a short warm-up activity, children go on to work in pairs using fraction circles to complete a table of...

Understanding when to divide by two or one-half can be confusing. Here is an activity that gives four different scenarios. It is up to your number crunchers to decide if they divide by two or one-half. The easiest way to approach the...

What does this pie chart mean? Once scholars can analyze a circle graph on a basic level (i.e. "Most people prefer cats"), it's time to delve deeper into it. They examine two graphs here, and are given the total number of participants...

Teach your math class to determine the value of fractions. The group will explore how to break a fractional part into smaller pieces, which helps strengthen their understanding of the part/whole relationship of fractions. A written...

In this circle graphs worksheet, students solve and complete 8 different problems that include word problems referring to two different circle graphs shown. First, they follow the directions for each problem and complete the table that...

This is an outstanding presentation on graphs and statistics. Learners choose which type of graph is being shown, and also gain practice in the techniques used to find the mean, median, and mode of sets of numbers. Very good!

Identify the different types of graphs and when they are used. Learners will research a specific health issue facing teens today. They then develop a survey, collect and analyze data and present their findings in class.  This is a...

Learners collect information from headstones about names of the deceased in their local community. They determine the most common names and graph them. They discuss their findings with the class.
