The purpose of this task is to extend students' understanding of fraction comparison.
Christine Munafo's Flipped Classroom-4th grade STEM. This video gives instruction and examples to fourth grade students on how to order fractions.
The purpose of this task is to present students with a situation in which they need to divide a whole number by a unit fraction in order to find a solution.
The purpose of this task is for students to find the answer to a question in context that can be represented by fraction multiplication. This task is appropriate for either instruction or assessment depending on how it is used and where students are in their understanding of fraction multiplication.
The purpose of this task is to provide students with a situation in which it is natural for them to divide a unit fraction by a non-zero whole number.
This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach second graders about fractions of a whole.
This task provides a context where it is appropriate for students to subtract fractions with a common denominator; it could be used for either assessment or instructional purposes.
Pearl Diver is a fun, interactive web-based game and app for iPad and iPhone. Players learn the number line while diving for pearls amidst shipwrecks and sunken ruins. This learning game addresses standard mathematic concepts included in the current Common Core curriculum such as:
-understanding numbers, ways of representing numbers, and number systems
-understanding and representing commonly used fractions
-understanding fractions as part of unit wholes and as locations on number lines
-comparing and ordering fractions, and finding their approximate locations on the number line
Pearl Diver is supported by supplementary materials including teacher’s guide, learner’s guide, “Teaching With Pearl Diver” video, and printable resources. It is available in English and Spanish. This game is available free on the Apple App Store.
This project was sponsored by NSF and developed by the Learning Games Lab in collaboration with researchers and mathematicians in the College of Education and College of Arts and Sciences at New Mexico State University.

Navigate the number line while diving amidst shipwrecks and sunken ruins. Will you find a pearl, or an old boot? Watch out for the electric eel! Pearl Diver teaches properties of numbers, how to plot numbers, how to visualize quantity on the number line, how to order numbers, and how to use the number line as a visual model for mathematical operations.
In this lesson students will use their knowledge of decimals to solve problems in a real- world setting.
The purpose of this task is to have students add mixed numbers with like denominators. This task illustrates the different kinds of solution approaches students might take to such a task.
In this webinar, you will hear about several major concepts introduced in the book, The Problem with Math is English, further explained by the author, Concepcion "Como" Molina, EdD. The book can be purchased online at: http://www.sedl.org/pubs/catalog/item...

From politics to cookery, ratios, proportions and percentages are part of everyday life. This unit is designed to help you become more familiar with how figures can be manipulated, then you can check whether that discount really is as big as they claim!
The battle is on in this game where you build your own potions! Check your ratios to win this mixture mix-off. Ratio Rumble guides students in: identifying ratios when used in a variety of contextual situations; providing visual representations of ratios; solving common problems or communicating by using rate, particularly unit rates; and explaining why ratios and rates naturally relate to fractions and decimals.
This task helps students understand that when you multiply by a number you always get a bigger number.

This Remote Learning Plan was created by Sarah Feik in collaboration with Craig Hicks and Tyler Cronin as part of the 2020 ESU-NDE Remote Learning Plan Project. Educators worked with coaches to create Remote Learning Plans as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.The attached Remote Learning Plan is designed for 6th grade Math students. Students will learn how to add, subtract, and multiply decimals. This Remote Learning Plan addresses the following NDE Standard: MA6.1.2.d and MA6.1.2.eIt is expected that this Remote Learning Plan will take students 45 minutes to complete.Here is the direct link to the Google Doc: Add, Subtract, and Multiply Decimals
This lesson unit is intended to help teachers assess how well students are able to: translate between decimal and fraction notation, particularly when the decimals are repeating; create and solve simple linear equations to find the fractional equivalent of a repeating decimal; and understand the effect of multiplying a decimal by a power of 10.
