The students will use ACC basketball statistics to practice the process of converting fractions to decimals then to percents and will learn how to create and edit a spreadsheet. They will then use this spreadsheet to analyze their data. This unit is done during the basketball season which takes approximately 15 weeks from the middle of November to the middle of March. Teachers must have Clarisworks to open the sample spreadsheet in the lesson, but may recreate it in another spreadsheet program.

Basic Introduction to Fractions on a Number Line. This site includes lesson plan, as well as blackline masters and several interactive online tools.

In this video segment from Cyberchase, the CyberSquad must locate a crystal with the highest fraction of orange color.

This is a review activity on the lesson of adding and simplifying fractions. This activity will provide a new approach to seeing a fraction and simplifying it, and the activity will allow students to set up and solve equations. This activity also works for subtraction of fractions.

Finding the domain of rational functions with no other complications such as roots/radicals.

This lesson plan introduces a game that will reinforce fractions and decimals. This activity is best played in groups of 3-4. You may choose to use as an activity when work is completed or as a center activity.

Introduce fractions and mixed numbers using paper plates

Students complete a fraction exercise in which they are given clues to find the answer to a joke, and then make up their own "Fraction Funny" sheet using their own jokes (riddles) and clues. Students will demonstrate their knowledge of fractions as "parts of a whole" and of fractions in lowest terms.

A lesson plan for grade 4 Mathematics

Wicked and Digit must solve a fraction problem in order to free the CyberSquad in this video from Cyberchase.

In this video segment from Cyberchase, Harry uses fractions to pack boxes of truffles at a candy store. 

A chain drill involving teacher made cards on the skills of adding and subtracting fractions, and equivalent fractions. In this chain activity the student chosen to begin the chain will read the card aloud and then wait for the next participant to read the only card that would correctly follow the progression. Play continues until all of the cards are read and the initial student is ready to read his card for the second time.

This activity allows the user to visually experiment with the relationship between the value of fractions and areas within a square or a circle. This activity would work well in groups of two to four for about 10 minutes.

Students use measurement skills to create a basket and respond to questions involving fractions, decimals, and geometric measurements.

This module describes the method of partial fraction expansion, in which a ratio of polynomials can be split into a sum of small polynomials.The Heaviside cover-up method is discussed in detail with examples.Finding a partial fraction expansion in matlab is also discussed.

Students apply their knowledge of fractions, decimals, and percents to understand the relationship amongst the three. Students will solve basic percent number problems using the percent proportion or other methods and play a game using a resource of the Shodor Education Foundation, Inc. Permission has been granted to use the materials as part of the Interactivate Your Bored Math Students workshop. Students will also analyze and explain the results of their game by answering two exploration questions.

In this Cyberchase video segment, the CyberSquad uses fractions and percents to compare the contest results of the Squitters, little creatures who love to jump.

In this lesson students will use a consumable manipulative to understand percent, fraction and decimal conversions. They will also collect data on a teacher produced spreadsheet while using a computer generated spreadsheet to make conversions.

In this video segment from Cyberchase, Wicked and Digit use what they know about fractions to figure out how many jewels are missing from the Amulet of Amagansett.

Use skittles to help the students practice the concepts of sorting data, recording data, writing the data collected in fraction form (part/whole), changing the fractions into decimals and percents, and taking the data collected and making a spreadsheet, bar graph, and circle graph of the data.
