This lesson fosters a student's conceptual fraction sense with proper fractions, improper fractions, and mixed numbers by placing thirty fraction cards in order between given whole numbers on a number line clothesline. Users will visually identify that all proper fractions are grouped between zero and one, and that improper fractions or mixed numbers are all grouped above one. Users also play an estimation game with groups using the same principle. Instructional plan, questions for the students, assessment options, extensions, and teacher reflections are given.

I used this assessment as formative tasks in my seventh grade math intervention. Students worked in small groups, then pairs, then alone to complete the tasks. This gave me a clear indication of their understanding of the standard. Students used a variety of ways to solve the problems. Some used calculations, others used pictorial representations.

This lesson unit is intended to help students to: * Compare, convert between and order fractions, decimals and percents. * Use area and linear models of fractions, decimals and percents to understand equivalence. Students are asked to apply and extend previous understandings of numbers to the system of rational numbers.

This activity allows the user to practice fractions and get a better understanding of them. They get a chance to work with two different aspects of fractions: making them and putting them in order from least to greatest.

I use this to help students understand that fractions are numbers to make sense of, just like whole numbers. The activity also focuses on understanding the main parts of a fraction, the numerator and the denominator.

This lesson initiates the development of skills in collecting and recording data. First, learners read "Freckle Juice" by Judy Blume. Then, learners collect data about a partner's face and tally the data from the whole class. They learn the convention for displaying a set of five using tally marks. Then, learners create a pictograph and pose and answer questions about the data set. This lesson guide includes questions for learners, assessment options, extensions, and reflection questions.

This series of 5 word problems lead up to the final problem. Most students should be able to answer the first two questions without too much difficulty. The decimal numbers may cause some students trouble, but if they make a drawing of the road that the girls are riding on, and their positions at the different times, it may help. The third question has a bit of a challenge in that students won't land on the exact meeting time by making a table with distance values every hour. The fourth question addresses a useful concept for problems involving objects moving at different speeds which may be new to sixth grade students.

The problem requires students to not only convert miles to kilometers and gallons to liters but they also have to deal with the added complication of finding the reciprocal at some point. In the USA we use distance per unit volume to measure fuel efficiency but in Europe we use volume per unit distance. Furthermore, the unit of distance is not simply 1 km but rather 100 km.

This applet is an expanded version of 3D Transmographer. This 3-dimensional model allows users to explore functions and their revolution around an axis. Once one or two functions have been rotated around an axis, the applet calculates the surface area and volume for the resulting solid. By clicking and dragging on the graph, users can change the vantage point from which they view the graph in order to better understand the functions, the revolution, and the resulting solid.

This task can be played as a game where students have to guess the rule and the instructor gives more and more input output pairs. Giving only three input output pairs might not be enough to clarify the rule.

This lesson unit is intended to help teachers assess how well students are able to: articulate verbally the relationships between variables arising in everyday contexts; translate between everyday situations and sketch graphs of relationships between variables; interpret algebraic functions in terms of the contexts in which they arise; and reflect on the domains of everyday functions and in particular whether they should be discrete or continuous.
