Young mathematicians spin their way to a deeper number sense with this fun, collaborative activity. Using two spinners, one with the numbers 0-9 and the other with the decades 00-90, pairs of students take turns building and comparing...

There are a few ways to practice fraction skills here, and they will all appeal to visual learners. First, mathematicians fill in blanks in two fraction number sequences. Next, they analyze two fractions marked along a  number line...

Teach your class how to mentally solve whole number addition and subtraction problems using compensation from tidy numbers including equal additions. They use appropriate recording techniques and predict the usefulness of strategies for...

To practice comparing 2-digit numbers, learners evaluate 8 pairs of numbers and circle the appropriate symbol: greater than, less than, or equal to. Directions encourage use of "tens and ones." So break out the unit cubes and 10-rods to...

Students investigate number relationships such as greater than, less than, and equal to. In this number relationship lesson, students use number mats and a fish with a large, open mouth to practice showing number relationships.

Here is a simple, yet clever lesson on how to teach the important concepts of greater than, less than, and equal to. Pupils write their names down on grid paper - one letter per box. They compare their names and find a name that is...

Which fraction is greater than? Less than? There are 10 problems here that give scholars a visual approach to comparing fractions. They start by writing the fractions represented in a shaded shape. Then, they begin comparing visual...

Upper elementary learners select one of the four phrases stated and write it in each box. Then they choose the best appropriate answer and explain why they chose it for each equation.

Your class compares groups of small stars by counting quantities in each of two sets and deciding which has more. They write symbols for greater than, less than, or equal to in a circle between each pair of sets. Two completed samples...

First graders use Cuisenaire rods to study the mathematical symbols =, <, > for the relationships is equal to, is less than, and is greater than. They use the rods to show visual explanations of common number combinations.

In this equal equations worksheet, students look at the addition and subtraction problems on both sides of the equal sign and decide if they are equal or not. Students complete 8 problems.

For this three- and two- dimensional geometry worksheet, 7th graders solve 12 various problems related to geometric shapes and measurement. They first use paper and a pencil to sketch the front, side, back, top and bottom views of each...

Fourth graders explore the meaning of equivalent fractions, find equivalent fractions, and explain why the fractions are equal. They share their ideas about equivalent fractions. Students answer the question: "What makes equivalent...

For this solving algebraic equations worksheet, students solve 6 different algebra word problems. First, they define an equation as a mathematical statement that two expressions are equal. Then, students determine what the word problem...

Student study addition properties. In this addition properties lesson plan, students use multiple methods to solve various types of problems. Students illustrate and describe in various ways the Commutative Property of Addition....

In this geometry worksheet, learners measure various angles. First, they write what type of angle each one is, whether right, acute, or obtuse. Then students estimate the measurement and then write the actual measurement for each angle.

In this mathematics worksheet, 3rd graders solve numerous problems by multiplying each up to 12 by 7, including zero. There are 36 problems to solve on the sheet.

In this math worksheet, students compare sets and determine how they compare. Students count the size of small sets using the numbers 0 to 20 and identify if the sets are equal in size, larger or smaller.

Third graders create their own chenille stems to use during this and future lessons. As a class, they discuss the difference between equal and non-equal groups. In groups, they brainstorm a list of items that come in groups of two,...

First graders participate in a variety of math activities that emphasize the concepts of greater than, less than, and equal to. They order numbers on the number line, compare numbers, create letters using numbers on a 1-100 number chart,...

In this mathematics worksheet, learners solve various counting and money problems. They identify the quarter, dime, nickel, and penny, and how much each is worth. Students also add up the totals for various combinations of the currency...

Eighth graders identify that a ratio is a comparison of two numbers and that a proportion is an equation that equates two ratios. They identify the extremes and means of proportions, as well as the product of the extremes equals the...

Fifth graders participate in a lesson concerned with the concept of equivalent fractions. The lesson use a cross-curricular approach using words with the same meaning to make connections to how equal fractions have the same numerical value.

Students examine the Illinois state quarter and review Lincoln and the fact that he is also on the penny. They color paper coins, identify their values, and create a money mobile. They play a Cent Sense game to practice which coins are...
