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

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.

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.
