Provide a meaningful context for learning about the division of fractions with this upper-elementary math lesson. Presented with a simple, real-world problem, young mathematicians work in small groups to develop visual models...

Develop young mathematicians' ability to compare fractions with investigation into the number 1/2. After brainstorming a list of fractions equivalent to 1/2, children identify a pattern in the numerators and...

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

In this multiplication of decimal fractions worksheet, 8th graders use the whole number multiplication fact given to work out the answers to three word problems. Students, in addition, estimate the answers to ten problems without using a...

Second graders complete math activities with donated seasonal treats. They estimate, count, sort, name and graph bags of treats. They can eat treats when finished.

Now that the practice is over, see if young mathematicians can utilize their new skills on finding common denominators and adding fractions. The assessment contains one map challenge and follows with skills practice. 

Young mathematicians research and discuss real world math word problems and ways in which they apply math concepts in their everyday lives. They create a storyboard of a math word problem from which they create a slide for a multi-media...

Students pretend they are about to buy their first new car. They must do all the calculations necessary to estimate the cost of purchasing the car. They see that the math they learn in school really does have real-life applications.

The introduction to the lesson mentions a sailor's limited capacity to store drinking water on his ship. Pupils then set up an overnight experiment to remove freshwater from salt water by distillation. There is a math and map activity to...
