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,

If you're like me, teaching sample spaces is difficult Knowing a spinner has a one-in-three chance of landing on red is one thing... but once we introduce combinations, students begin to get confused. Use this scaffolded, rigorous, but fun sheet to introduce or review creating sample spaces. Students will create three different types of samples spaces. This helps them understand that a sample space is not a format, but a way of viewing probability through visually combining possibilities. THIS S

Your students will think critically about order of operations problems by inserting parentheses to make number sentences true. Students will understand why the order of operations is so important as they examine how it affects problem outcomes. Have them approach each problem as a puzzle. What will they need to do to make it true?! This sheet includes: Detailed example of false number sentence and how to make it true20 number sentences to make trueAnswer sheetCheck out the preview!Be sure to che

Give your students everything they need to successfully perform order of operations problems. This explanation and how to guide explains order of operations, introduces PEMDAS ("Please excuse my dear Aunt Sally"), and give several scaffolded examples and problems. Teachers and parents can let students perform the problems or use them in guided instruction as examples. This resource includes: Brief article introducing the importance of order of operationsExplanation of PEMDASSeveral examples that

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

This bundle includes everything you need to teach, reinforce, and review statistical measures of center and stem and leaf plots. Your students will learn, engage, and practice. Here's what you get: A statistics study reader that fully covers measures of center: mean, median, mode, and rangeA stem and leaf plot how-to and study guide that walks students through the steps in creating a stem-and-leaf plotMeasure of center practice sheet 1 (introduction)Measure of center practice sheet 2 (review wit

Having trouble keeping your students focused? This sheet "gamifies" math skills by prompting students to find a hidden message using answers to math problems. Cover A LOT with a little, using this sheet. Students will: Find the mean, median, mode, and range of data setsAnswer questions about stem and leaf plotsAnalyze answers, match letters, and reveal a hidden message (about statistics)Check out all of my math and science resources here.

Have your students take the next step in working with stem-and-leaf plots. In this resource, students will read, analyze, and answer questions about real-world data represented in a stem-and-leaf plot. Make this resource part of your statistics unit today! Great for upper elementary, middle, or home school.

This is a great way to take students a step beyond finding mean, median, mode, and range by introducing data analysis. Students view, analyze, and answer questions about two sets of data in tables. Each set of data is modeled on real-world scenarios that plug kids in to real-world problems. Beginners should start with sheet 1, which focuses on finding mean, median, mode, and range for sets of numbers.. INCLUDES ANSWER KEY.

This resource allows students to build mastery of stem and leaf plots through scaffolding. The first two problems are partially complete, and students must fill in incomplete data. Students then move on to creating their own stem and leaf plots from scratch. Make resource part of your statistics unit today! Great for upper elementary, middle, or home school.

Cover A LOT of ground in two pages of work with this statistics worksheet. Students have to find the measures of center (mean, median, and mode) and the range for two sets of data. Each set of data is modeled on real-world scenarios that plug kids in to real-world problems. The data for this sheet is in a table and a graph, introducing students to deeper data analysis of visual charts. This sheet is challenging. Beginners should start with sheet 1. INCLUDES ANSWER KEY.
