Problem solving is the final step to understanding and applying conceptual math skills to real-word scenarios. Have your students take this step by using fractions and analysis to solve these real-world word problems. Problems get progressively more difficult and mix fraction only problems with mixed number problems. Each problem has a dedicated workspace—prefect for print, Easel, or other online PDF marking tools. Full answer key included. Check out the preview!Follow Sciensanity! on TpTAlso,

Your students will love this set of Google slides that allows them to round decimal numbers and sort them in the correct place. It includes 2 activities. First, students must find numbers in a group that sort to a specific number. Second, they must create numbers with tiles that will round to a given number. Allowing students to work with decimals and in multiple contexts and with multiple media gives them a deeper understanding of what these numbers actually represent. Each activity lets them

This bundle includes five sheets that will challenge your students to model fractions and decimals, place them on a number line, then write them in order. Students will explore multiple ways to write and conceptualize decimals and fractions so they understand WHY they go in the order that they do. Viewing decimals and fractions in multiple contexts gives students a deeper understanding of what these numbers actually represent. Each sheet explores one set of four decimal numbers and fractions th

This reading passage--A Smaller Product: Multiplying Decimals--explores decimal multiplication by beginning with a simple explanation of multiplying whole numbers, moves on to explaining the concepts of a whole number times a decimal, then ends with why two decimal numbers equal a product less than both. Students ALWAYS ask this questions; explore it with them before you begin solving problems with decimal multiplication strategies! 347-word reading passageClear models that explain whole number

This bundle includes ten sheets that show students how decimals are more than just a point between two numbers. Addition and subtraction problems serve as a launchpad for students to explore multiple ways to write and conceptualize decimals, from writing fractions to shading models to placing decimals on a number line, and more. Viewing decimals in multiple contexts gives students a deeper understanding of what decimal numbers actually represent. Each sheet explores one problem. Students must r

This sheet includes two activities. In the first activity, students must read tally marks in a data table, then create a bar graph based on this data. In the second activity, students will poll their classmates about the types of pets in their household, record the data, tally the data when they are finished, and create a bar graph based on the information. It's a simple, engaging, and rigorous introduction to collecting data and creating data visualizations. The scenarios provide real world con

Have your students start reading and analyzing bar graphs like a pro with this basic introduction. Students will read two bar graphs--one about the number of students in 5th grade classes at "Oak Tree Elementary" and one that examines the amount of rainfall per month in Atlanta. The questions provide real world problems that will begin your students' journey toward analyzing more complex data and thinking critically about data and what it means. This sheet is perfect for students anywhere from 3
