A hands-on lesson focused on comparing and ordering fractions using benchmarks, common numerators, and common denominators through a maritime-themed sorting activity.

A high-energy lesson focused on comparing fractions through a competitive card game and supporting practice activities, perfect for short math rotations.

Students will measure leaf and stem specimens to the nearest 1/8 inch, create line plots to represent their data, and perform addition and subtraction with fractions to compare measurements.

A 4th-grade math lesson using the Building Thinking Classrooms (BTC) framework to teach plotting mixed numbers on a number line within a botanist-themed greenhouse setting.

A high-energy math center rotation based on fraction standards NF.1, NF.2, and NF.3, themed around a car racing championship. Students navigate through color-coded 'Speed Zones' to practice equivalence, number lines, and comparison.

A lesson focused on interpreting line plots and performing subtraction with fractional data points, themed around a backyard nature study.

A focused 15-minute measurement practice focusing on real-world word problems involving time, mass, volume, and distance. Students apply the four operations to solve logistics-themed measurement challenges.

A focused lesson on interpreting line plots and performing addition with mixed numbers that have common denominators.

A focused 15-minute practice session on interpreting line plots and adding fractions with like denominators based on data points.

A lesson focused on comparing fractions with identical numerators using visual models and open number lines to understand the relationship between denominator size and fraction value.

A lesson focused on comparing fractions that have the same numerator but different denominators, using visual models and open number lines to build conceptual understanding.

A lesson focused on comparing fractions with common denominators using visual models and comparison symbols. Students will learn that when denominators are the same, the fraction with the larger numerator represents the larger quantity.

A carnival-themed math review covering 3-digit regrouping, multiplication/division facts, and fraction concepts through three interactive rotations.

A 4th-grade math lesson centered on building line plots with mixed numbers (halves and fourths) using the Building Thinking Classrooms (BTC) framework. Students collaborate to organize 'carpenter's scraps' and solve a non-routine construction puzzle.

A high-energy, 15-minute collaborative station where students work in teams to organize fractional data and construct a precise line plot. Students take on specific roles to ensure accuracy in their 'surveying' mission.
