Young mathematicians represent recorded information in decimal form. In this decimals lesson, learners play a "classroom friendly" basketball game in which pupils take 10 shots. Number of shots made out of 10 is recorded as a fraction...

Students categorize their private book collections as a precursor to learning the principles of the Dewey Decimal System. They use the Internet to gain a better understanding of the Dewey Decimal System.

Practice converting decimals into fractions. They draw a 3x3 grid and write in any nine common fractions with denominator 10 or 100 and with numerators 9 or less. The group listens as the teacher call out decimal numbers within the given...

Learners review how to find percentages from decimals and fractions. Using photographs, they determine the percentage, decimal and fractions of different criteria. They use a calculator to change the form of the rational numbers as well.

In this fractions, decimals, and percents lessons, students explore various methods of representing fractions. They demonstrate situations that represent rational numbers. Students create a foldable exploring fractions, decimals and...

For 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...

Class members come up with a hypothesis on the number of decimal digits in the product of two decimals. Learners work in groups to complete several decimal multiplication problems. The results help groups develop a conjecture on the...

Middle schoolers identify proper, improper fractions, and mixed numbers.  They reduce fractions to their lowest terms. They add and subtract fractions with different denominators, and multiply and divide fractions, as well as...

Mathematicians make representations of fractional parts of a whole and learn that a decimal is another way to represent a fractional part. Understanding is extended by comparing and ordering fractions and decimals on a number line. This...

Students locate and report on books using the Dewey Decimal System. They return the book to its proper place.

Pupils memorize four key decimal values for quick and accurate conversion. They convert decimal foot measurements to inches and fractions using math tables, computation or memorization. They memorize decimal foot conversions.

Seventh graders practice combining decimals and fractions to find sums which are either greater than 4 or less than 5. Students first approximate the value of each fraction and decimal, then they look for combinations to fit the guidelines.

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

Second graders write money in decimal form. In this money lesson, 2nd graders discuss the value of coins and find the placement of the decimal in writing the amount. They find the fractional parts of coins in a dollar. 

Young scholars build knowledge about the number relationships between decimals and percents as it relates to converting decimals into percents. For this decimal and percent lesson, students recognize equivalent forms of fractions,...

Middle schoolers identify and interpret various ways of expressing probability as a decimal, fraction, percent, or ratio. They solve problems based on probability as they apply to real world applications.

Students demonstrate some common operations done while using fractions based upon mathematical standards. They are also changing common fractions to decimals with estimation skills and the use of a calculator.

Third graders take turns rolling the die, and selects an appropriate place to put the digit that was rolled in order to create a number with the largest value possible. They compete by trying to roll the highest valued number with the die.

Fourth graders engage in a lesson that is about the concept of rounding decimals. They review place value and focus it upon the practice of rounding. Students use 10 base decimal grids or models to help make connections with the skill.

Constructing decimals correctly is a crucial concept for elementary students to grasp. Here, have the young mathematicians in your class explore standard and expanded form while comparing decimal values. This unit is taught while...

Third graders brainstorm different ways to represent decimal fractions. They draw on their knowledge of decimal place value, addition and subtraction of decimals, and writing decimals in words and symbols. Students discuss the meaning...

Middle schoolers multiply decimals and/or mixed numbers. They explore the effects of multiplying decimals and mixed numbers. They practice estimating answers when a number is multiplied by a decimal or mixed number.

Students practice counting forwards and backwards with decimal numbers. They participate in a class or small group bingo game from the advanced additive and advanced multiplicative stages six and seven. Each student can choose to either...

Sometimes a skeleton is all you get. This lesson outline provides teachers with a basic lesson flow. Pupils will pre-test, order place value names, use manipulatives, and build and compare numbers. How this is to be done is not...
