Candy Probability: Discovery of EXPERIMENTAL vs. THEORETICAL Probability
Middle Schoolers LOVE probability!
This is a GREAT lesson around Halloween when the kids are already hyped up on sugar and want to 'talk' to their classmates.
This activity allows the students to DISCOVER the differences between EXPERIMENTAL and THEORETICAL probability and connect it to everyday experiences. The probability lesson lends itself to fractions, decimals, percents, data collection, rational & irrational numbers, statistical graphs (box and whiskers, frequency tables...), measu

Equivalent Fractions - General Understanding and Practice - Level 2 - FREE
Equivalent Fraction Understanding - Level 1 of this series demonstrates the equal areas of two equivalent fractions. However, in Level 2, the mathematical meaning is that the two fractions are equivalent due to the fact that they student is ACTUALLY multiplying by 1 WHOLE (2/2, 3/3, 4/4, etc.) - The Multiplicative Identity Property.
Level 2 is multiplication only.
However, the process is stair stepped. Level 2 only has missing denominators and numerators on the trailing fraction - which is t

A string of proper fractions and the students must fill in the missing denominator or numerator.
The student should be reminded that they are computing equivalent fractions by mathematically multiplying by 1 Whole in the form of an improper fraction (i.e. 2/2, 3/3, 4/4, etc.)
Students must know basic math facts. Procedure on this website wtih resources...Accelerated Math Fact Mastery...and the Readers' Digest version.

Multiplication and Division Pictorial Models - Decimals/Fractions - FREE
If you teach mathematics from 4th through 8th grade, this resource should be extremely helpful to you.Students need computational prowess, but they must understand the model - the physical model on what the computations represent. As an urban Title 1 principal, I worked with so many teachers that did not possess a clear view of these models that I made up as a "Cheat" sheet for them. Earlier this year, I cleaned up this resource.The model is complete for all fraction and decimal multiplication p

10 practice sheets...2 columns...plenty of room for the student to work the problems.
Hopefully, they have learned their math facts...and they reduce the fractions to simplest form...and then check to make sure that the GCF is 1 on the reduced fraction. "One and Done - LT Confirmed" is the expression we used at Graham so the student checked that the GCF was 1...and the REDUCED FRACTION was in Lowest terms.
