Conversions - Human Number Line Activity
This activity is designed to be used a fun review for converting between fractions, decimals, and percents.. As students enter the room, you will tape a number to their back (they will not look at it).
They can only as "yes" or "no" questions until they determine the value of their number. Once they do that, they will then go to the front of the room to create a human number line based on how their number compares to the rest of the class.

Water Jug Bomb Defusal - A "Ratios" Ticking Clock Scenario
Water Jug Bomb Defusal is a great task to get students thinking and working in math teams to solve a fun problem. See how many solutions your students can come up with. My own students really enjoyed this task. An explosive (and positively cinematic!) good time for a Thinking Classroom. Enjoy!

Classroom Sale!
Classroom Sale is a great way to get students active and learning! This activity could be used after a lesson on percents, discounts, and decimals. Students will go "shopping" for classroom items that are on sale. The students are to figure out based on the original price and the percent discounted, what their total cost for the item will be. Included are editable sales tags and the activity log.

Fraction Wheel Pulley Machine
The Fraction Wheel Pulley Machine
This interactive application uses pulleys to create an animated fraction wheel. Students connect different size pulleys and turn a crank to produce multicolored fraction wheel sections. The possible fractions include all fractions with denominators less than or equal to 12. For each fraction the fraction wheel displays all the fractions in the family of the fraction, e.g. for 1/12, the fractions with denominator 2, 3, 4, or 6.

The Fraction Wheel Decimal Conversion Machine
This is the fifth in a series of interactive applications that use pulleys to create animated models of fractions. Please see the first application, 'The Fraction Wheel Pulley Machine', for a description and justification for the underlying model.
In this application we use pulleys to create a machine that converts fractions to three place decimal approximations.
