This resource provides learners with three different methods for solving long division problems. The same problem is used to show each of the methods, which include guess and check, repeated subtraction, and the classic method. This may...

Create models to demonstrate multiplication and division of fractions. Using fraction tiles to model fractions, pupils explore fractions on a ruler and use pattern blocks to multiply and divide. They also create number lines with fractions.

After reviewing double-digit addition and subtraction up to and from 100, learners are introduced to addition and subtraction up to and from 10,000. A grid is used along side number decomposition to help them solve a word problem...

The title says it all: fractions mean division. Explore number sense and operations as you flip from slide to slide, describing how fractions and division are the same thing. Learners will work through a series of problems where they...

Learners examine and discuss prime numbers, composite numbers, and prime factorization. They develop and create a factor tree mobile using exponents.

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...

If you're teaching 3rd or 4th grade math, this presentation is a must have. It defines perimeter and polygons, then describes the process by which perimeter is determined through pair share discussion and critical thinking questions....

Kids love short-cuts and this one is an oldie but a goodie. The 9's times tables finger trick is demonstrated using images of a child's hands, the multiplication problem represented, and how tens and ones are represented by each finger....

Here are four examples of double-digit horizontal addition. Learners are shown how to compute numbers horizontally, by first adding the tens and then the ones columns and then adding them both together. This is a great way to boost...

In this recognizing geometric figures learning exercise, students read descriptions, draw, label, and write the names and symbols for basic geometric figures. Students solve thirteen problems.

Students investigate unit conversion.  In this unit conversion lesson, students will build models of square and cubic centimeters using grid paper and generate formula tables for converting units of area and volume.  The tables...

Learners compare and convert units of measurement within the United States customary system and within the metric system by baking cookies. Students discuss how to double the cookie recipe, how to make only half of the recipe, and how to...

Find the area of squares and rectangles and discuss square inches and square centimeters with your young geometers. Follow the example provided, and then let learners try it for themselves! They will find the area of seven rectangles. 

With the help of the Area Officers and Perimeter Patrol, you learners will develop a better understanding of area and its relationship to perimeter. First, they view a video clip from Cyberchase, and then they visit a website to...

Chocolate lovers develop a bar graph based on the types of chocolate the class likes. They participate in The Art of Chocolate at The Hershey Story before they make a bar graph that shows the favorite chocolate types of their class. They...

Explore the relationship between perimeter and area. Learners input the area and perimeter for shapes on the Shape Explorer website, solve problems using geoboards, complete a worksheet, create a PowerPoint presentation, and take an...

Rates per unit of time, unit rates, and the distance and lengths of trips are solved in this 18-question assignment. Neatly presented, these questions provide your middle school mathematicians practice with unit rate skills.
