Upper elementary or middle schoolers will explore non-linear functions, graphing, and the curve of best fit through real-life data collection and trial analysis. They explore the concept of half-life and radioactive decay using M&Ms,...

Young scientists use a worksheet to help them perform a lab on the decay of a radioactive element. The worksheet serves as both a task guide and a lab sheet for pairs of learners. This activity requires a calculator and has excellent...

Which ones are equivalent? Scholars examine four fraction models to determine which ones represent the same fraction. This is a great way to help kids with numerators and denominators, as they can physically count the total number of...

An excellent activity that effectively pulls together the concepts of area, fractions, and equivalent fractions! Using 3x2 rectangular arrays, 3rd graders are introduced to the concept of area in terms of square units. Building on this...

A number line serves as the medium to display visual fractions as scholars examine two points along its segmented length. The line is split into quarters and scholars determine which fraction is represented by two letters labeled at...

Where would 3/4 be on the number line? Project this fraction problem as an all-class warm up, asking scholars to complete it on their own before revealing the detailed explanation below. Using a number line segmented into quarters, they...

Fractions are easier to grasp when scholars can see them on a number line, so have them create the number lines themselves! For each of 10 fractions, they draw a number line and mark where along the fraction it would be. There are no...

Make fractions easier with a visual representation along a number line. There are eight fractions here for scholars to match to their corresponding number lines. Although this is a good idea, the formatting isn't ideal. Ask kids to...

In this fraction worksheet, students color in the correct fractional amount given beneath pictures: 1/4, 1/2 and 2/4. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

In this time learning exercise, students are shown an analog clock and have to write the digital time to the half hour. Students complete 6 time problems.

For this fractions worksheet, young scholars match the shaded part of a figure to the fraction. Students complete 9 matches total on this worksheet.

Number lines can be an excellent tool to helping youngsters comprehend fractions. Here they analyze two number lines and then mark specific points on two of their own. By examining where a point is along the spectrum from zero to one,...

In this half-life worksheet, students use 100 pennies to simulate radioactive isotopes and half-life. They place the pennies in a box and shake the box. All pennies that turn up tails are removed from the box. They represent the isotopes...

In this half-life learning exercise, students are given a particular mass of an isotope of cesium and its half life. They are to determine how much cesium will remain after 90 years. They are guided through the problem solving process.

In this half-life learning exercise, students calculate the half-life of isotopes, they find masses of isotopes remaining after specified times, and they find particular amounts of time needed to pass for given masses of isotopes to decay.

In this fractions worksheet, 3rd graders solve 24 fraction addition problems in the spaces provided. The denominators of the two fractions added together are different.

In this fraction worksheet, students fill in the provided boxes with the given fractions and whole number.  Students must put the fractions in so that the sides of the puzzle equal 2 wholes, students need to knowledge of equivalent...

In this fraction worksheet, students use cards that are labeled with whole numbers and mixed numbers that include fourths. They receive a card and line up in order from least to greatest or they order the cards themselves.

Nothing fancy about this worksheet, just 15 problems for learners to practice changing a fraction to a decimal. The denominators in the fractions are either 10 or 100 so pupils get familiar with what happens when changing a fraction with...

In this fraction worksheet, 6th graders convert the given fractions into percentages.  Students solve for six problems, some having mixed numbers and answers greater than 100 percent.

Each of these fractions has an accompanying number line, segmented only by lines. Scholars match the fractions to the corresponding number line based on how many total segments (denominator) and the line circled (numerator). This...

Have scholars represent these fractions by drawing a number line for each. They segment the number line based on the denominator, then mark an x based on the numerator. Do one of these together before sending pupils off to do this...

For this percent to fraction worksheet, students convert percents with numbers and fractions into fractions. Students complete 9 problems.

Young math whizzes solve 20 various types of equations related to fractions. First, they state each portion shaded as a fraction in lowest terms. Then, they determine the missing numerator or denominator and determine the value of each...
