Gravity Lab: Calculating Distance in Space
In this lab, students start by measuring how far they can jump on Earth, and then calculate how far they could jump on the different planets and Earth's moon, based on the amount of gravity present on each body. This was a great way to demonstrate the effects of gravity, while also reinforcing the 6th grade math concept of division of decimals. All steps of the scientific method are included, along with a full rubric to assess students' learning.

Math Lab: Terminating and Repeating Decimals/DISTANCE LEARNING/NO PREP
This is a GREAT lab for students to discover the value of patterns in our wonderful world of mathematics! * In the lesson, students DO discover a relationship between fractions and decimals beginning with NINETEEN FRACTIONS THAT STUDENTS ARE REQUIRED TO DIVIDE THE NUMERATOR BY THE DENOMINATOR ON EACH.* Students learn the meaning of the terms "terminating" and "repeating" relative to decimals.* Students learn how and when it is appropriate to use the bar above repeating decimals. *

Multiplication (Decimal) Practice Sheets (Free)
These three sheets are divided into half sheets for a quick review, math review or guided math...and especially with spaced repetition instruction. Students are not adept at this process because they do not know their math facts (solvable - see white paper on methodology - free download) or they do not know how to count decimals in the factors to determine the location of the decimal point in the product. These exercises should help them. NOTE: Many students do not realize when they view a w

Composition of the Atmosphere Lab
In this Earth Science activity, students will gain a better understanding of what gases the atmosphere is made out of. Students will need to work some math problems out, converting percents and decimal places to determine ppm, parts per million. Students will gain an understanding that greenhouse gases make up such a small amount of the atmosphere, but are extremely important in keeping the temperature balance in check.Students will demonstrate the amounts that each gas makes up in the atmosph

M&M Lab for Fractions, Decimals & Percents
Lab for students to eat and learn! Students use a party size (halloween kind) bag of m&ms to calculate, convert and graph ratios, decimals and percents of each color of m&ms in the bag.
Reflection and Critical Thinking Conclusion activity included. Extension extra credit also included.
*for lower level students I add M&Ms to their bag to make 20 total since quantities per bag have lowered in recent years.

Fractional Number Lines - Fractions, Mixed Numbers & Decimals - Level 4 - FREE
Number lines - one step in difficulty from Level 3.
Number lines begin at whole numbers - not zero. Hence, the student can find improper fractions at any point by using a whole number location on the number line - and the student is off to the races.
If students are only given discrete mixed numbers, proper fractions, improper fractions and decimals, then they 'float' in isolation. These number lines connect the elements in an application setting.

Science Calculating Gravity Lab Activity Science Graving Calculation Gravity Lab
Easy to incorporate, all you need is a scale! With this lab students weigh four different objects and calculate their weight on the different planets. The formula for calculating weight (mass x gravity = weight) is clearly stated in the directions. Students could use a calculator, or this activity can be a great interdisciplinary/cross-curricular math activity for practicing multiplying decimals!

The Layering Tower of Density
This a great lab for 5th, 6th, or even 7th grade to perform. The lab uses different liquids and allows students to see how different substance have different densities. The lab begins by discussing the density of water and then predicting if other liquids will be less/more dense.
The practice problems review the density formula, allows them to slowly develop a formal lab report, and practice density problems on their own. Also, it allows students review subtracting decimals and answer quest

Proper Fraction to Decimals to Percents - with 100 Block Shading - FREE
This resource is FREE, and it allows the teacher to transition from proper fractions to EQUIVALENT decimals and percentages. It ties that progression together in an equivalency. It also adds the pictorial understanding of all three math elements with a shading of a 100 block. If these type of resources are not used, students do NOT connect the math elements and they view percentages or decimals or fractions as separate entities when they are all the same thing in just a different form.I hope

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

Elementary Grades Math Concepts (90 concepts on 29 pages)
These concepts (90 in all) I have had to create special instructions for--both for myself each time they are taught and for the students to have on their worksheets. Virtually all were developed from experience and they include topics such as the very nature of fractions to the conversion of fractions to decimals (and vice versa) to long division to other topics in the first several grades.
My wish is that others can benefit from several years of always keeping on the lookout for areas that hav
