Cool Math 4 Kids Lessons, Games, Activities. Math Projects. About Project-Based Learning Projects help students personalize their learning and are ideal for gaining key knowledge and understanding of content and answering the question: Where am I ever going to use this? " Among the greatest benefits of project-based learning (PBL) are gains in students' critical-thinking skills and development of their interpersonal and intrapersonal skills.
PBL is also an ideal way to help learners gain speaking and presentation skills indentified in the Common Core Standards. PBL in mathematics, particularly when completed in teams, helps learners "model with mathematics" as they "apply the mathematics they know to solve problems arising in everyday life, society, and the workplace," "use tools strategically," and "construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others," as noted in the Common Core Standards (2010) for Mathematical Practice. Finally, projects should include the element of reflection. What do we mean by building 21st century skills?

Math Playground - Online Math Games that Give your Brain a Workout. Adding Fractions. Multiples and Factors. In this activity, students identify multiples and factors and solve problems that involve finding highest common factors and lowest common multiples. Students will need a good recall of multiplication basic facts in order to be able to do these activities. Activity One and Game Discuss the definitions of multiples and factors (on the student book page) before your students begin this activity.
Make sure that they understand that every number is a factor of itself, because if they divide a number by itself, there is no remainder. This game could be extended by asking: • What are all the different products you could throw with the two game dice, one labelled 1–6 and the other 4–9? • There are two different ways of getting a product of 12: throwing a 3 and a 4 or a 2 and a 6. . • What’s the probability of throwing a double? • Which squares in the game are easier/harder to cover? Harder to cover: a prime number [only 2 out of 36 combinations] and a multiple of 7 [only 6 chances out of 36].)
Percents and Decimals Worksheets. Thanks for visiting the U.S. number format version of the decimals and percents worksheets page at Math-Drills.Com where we make a POINT of helping students learn. On this page, you will find Decimals worksheets on a variety topics including comparing and sorting decimals, adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing decimals, and converting decimals to other number formats. To start, you will find the general use printables to be helpful in teaching the concepts of decimals and place value. More information on them is included just under the sub-title. We also have European format decimals worksheets. Further down the page, rounding, comparing and ordering decimals worksheets allow students to gain more comfort with decimals before they move on to performing operations with decimals.
There are many operations with decimals worksheets throughout the page. General Use Printables The thousandths grid is a useful tool in representing operations with decimals. Expanded Form with Decimals. Number Notation. Names | SI (Metric) Prefixes | Roman Numerals | Bases Hierarchy of Decimal Numbers Some people use a comma to mark every 3 digits. It just keeps track of the digits and makes the numbers easier to read. Beyond a million, the names of the numbers differ depending where you live. Fractions Digits to the right of the decimal point represent the fractional part of the decimal number. Examples: 0.234 = 234/1000 (said - point 2 3 4, or 234 thousandths, or two hundred thirty four thousandths) 4.83 = 4 83/100 (said - 4 point 8 3, or 4 and 83 hundredths) SI Prefixes Roman Numerals Roman Numeral Calculator There is no zero in the roman numeral system. The numbers are built starting from the largest number on the left, and adding smaller numbers to the right.
The exception is the subtracted numerals, if a numeral is before a larger numeral, you subtract the first numeral from the second. There is no place value in this system - the number III is 3, not 111. Number Base Systems Java Base Conversion Calculator. Woodlands Maths Zone - Fun interactive maths games.

Guess Your Birthday! Here's a fun trick to show a friend, a group, or an entire class of people. Step 1) Have them take the month number from their birthday: January = 1, Feb = 2 etc. Have them give you the total. How It Works: Let M be the month number and D will be the day number. Thus, if you subtract off the 165, what will remain will be the month in hundreds plus the day!

Click for a discussion of certain omissions. Please send me e-mail if you believe there's a major flaw in my rankings (or an error in any of the biographies). Obviously the relative ranks of, say Fibonacci and Ramanujan, will never satisfy everyone since the reasons for their "greatness" are different. I'm sure I've overlooked great mathematicians who obviously belong on this list.
