Introduction

Excel Math is a K-6 math curriculum used in classrooms since 1976. Concepts are woven into a smooth and coherent spiraling arrangement.

Students encounter these concepts repeatedly after their first introduction. This approach improves mastery, and develops a solid foundation for

advanced math. These are our primary objectives:

1. Develop Thinking Skills

Integrated Lessons Excel Math smoothly moves from one lesson to another, building on concepts which are taught gradually in a continuous process. Students realize that math concepts work together as a system.

Teaching to Think Students are encouraged to listen carefully to questions and determine what is being asked. They learn to answer questions precisely. In addition, students write and solve problems of their own.

Interaction between Teacher and StudentDaily Student Lesson Sheets help students and teachers to concentrate on teaching and learning math, not copying problems from a book. The structure of the lessons allows the teacher to easily work with students who grasp the concepts right away, and help those who are struggling.

2. Build Proficiency

Balancing New and Review Lesson Sheets mix fresh ideas with an assortment of review problems. New concepts fit within a context of familiar material. Students stay challenged and have time to master previous ideas.

Confidence from Hands-On Exploration Stretches, Activities and Exercises permit students to explore math while moving and handling everyday objects. Students interact, discuss, create and solve their own problems.

Providing Regular Assessment The curriculum provides assessment opportunities through distributed practice. With our unique CheckAnswer system, students are assessing themselves daily. Formal tests are provided once a week in the higher grades. First Grade and Kindergarten have fewer tests.

3. Produce ConfidenceExpanding Curriculum CoverageStudents remember concepts, due to continual practice and using basic skills in more complex ways. We cover more curriculum in the same time.

Providing a Positive ExperienceNot every student will become a mathematician, but all can learn to view math as something which is used in “real life”. Many graduates of Excel Math feel math is their favorite subject.

Reducing the Need for Ability GroupingBecause the mix of math problems and gradual spiraling help everyone to succeed, students do not need to be divided into groups by ability levels.

Improved Test Scores Schools across the nation using Excel Math consistently report improved test scores.


Excel Math uses a proven direct instruction approach accompanied by many other features and advantages:

• Lesson Sheets present lessons, homework, guided practice, and basic fact practice• Critical Thinking concepts are presented in the fifth lesson each week• Create a Problem stories challenge students with longer texts that involve multiple concepts• Weekly Tests, Quarterly Tests, and End-of-Year Tests let you know how students are doing• Stretches, Exercises and Activities offer different instructional modes for learning

Curriculum Strategy

The School YearThe first 4 – 6 weeks of Excel Math lessons review the previous grade’s concepts. You can evaluate your class’s grasp of basic math concepts and be confident students are ready for new ideas.

The majority of the year is devoted to spiraling math concepts. Each week we introduce new concepts, practice earlier concepts and prepare for assessment a week later. Students are not tested immediately after learning. They have ample time to explore what they have learned – in class and at home, in calculation and in word problems.

The final weeks each year summarize what has been learned and introduce a few new concepts that will be taught at the next grade level.

Each weekEach class “week” has 6 pages - 5 lessons, and a test with a “Create a Problem” story on the back. This element adds variety to the math instruction and encourages student creativity and critical thinking. Students can write story endings and develop their own problems from the stories.

Use your judgment to work through the lessons daily, or move more quickly if the class is ready. We do not encourage jumping around as it interferes with the spiraling presentation of concepts.

TestingWeekly, Quarterly and Year-End Tests are all cumulative. Quarterly Tests help your class practice with “bubble-in” answer sheets. The upper grades have: • 24 Weekly Tests • 4 Quarterly Tests with bubble-in answers • 2 Year-End Tests

Year-End Tests help you assess your students’ grasp of the entire year’s content.

Summer SchoolOur summer school edition helps prepare students to enter the following grade. These 6-week products are ideal for InterSession work as well. You can select a lower grade for remediation, or a higher grade to provide challenges for advanced students. Contact us for more details.

Better All AroundExcel Math retains all the features of past Excel Math editions you may have used, and adds more teaching tools, better spiraling, new vocabulary, more rigor, hands-on activities, and up-to-date content. We give your students a chance to exercise both creativity and literacy as they learn the concepts specified by your state and gain confident in real-world mathematics.

Components of Excel Math

The BoxesExcel Math shipping cartons are color-coded to indicate the language of the Lesson Sheets inside: English (brown) and Spanish (white).

When you receive your materials, check the box label to confirm you have received the correct grade, translation, and number of lesson sheets.

Teacher Editions will come in a separate box. Standard Teacher Editions have a black spiral binding.

The grade level does NOT appear on covers of the student or teacher products. The first digit of the four-digit page number at the bottom of each Lesson Sheet indicates the grade. You can also determine grade by the color coding:

Kindergarten – Grey 1st Grade – Pink 2nd Grade – Blue 3rd Grade – Green 4th Grade – Tan 5th Grade – Yellow 6th Grade – Orange

7th Grade – White (summer only)

The Lesson SheetsExcel Math Student Lesson Sheets are printed on legal-sized, double-sided pages. We package sets for these class sizes:

10 Students 15 Students 22 Students 30 Students 35 Students

Depending on the set size you select, you may receive one, two or three boxes for the year.

When you open a box, you will find copies of Lesson Sheet 1 for your whole class, a colored divider sheet, copies of Lesson Sheet 2, etc.

We also have Individual Student Sets (single sets in a padded book format with tear-off pages) if you need materials for just a few students (5 or less) at one grade level.

The Teacher EditionYou will need a Teacher’s Edition. This spiral-bound book contains the Scope & Sequence of lessons, the lesson plans, teaching ideas, activities, and other materials to assist you in the classroom.

A reduced-size copy of each day’s Lesson Sheet, along with the answers, is provided on the facing page, across from the Lesson Plan.

Excel Math Projectable This product contains the lesson material in electronic form as a download or on CD for collaborative use in the classroom.

Excel Math consists of Student Lesson Sheets and a Teacher Edition.

Student Lesson Sheets

The Classroom LessonStudents interact with the lesson material as the teacher introduces the concept(s) for the day. The objectives are clearly stated at the top of each Student Lesson Sheet in terms that students can understand. A more detailed set of objectives are stated at the top of the Teacher Edition page.

The Lesson section includes a few examples and problems for students to solve. Below the lesson are several more problems that explore the concepts students have just learned.

On the fifth-day lessons we normally use the whole front of the Lesson Sheet to explore difficult concepts. There is no homework on these pages. If the lesson happens to fall short of a full page, we provide extra Guided Practice in that space.

Basic Fact PracticeThis section provides practice in basic math facts, such as the “multiplication tables”. The exercises appear frequently in the lower grades. If students can’t recall basic facts, it will be difficult for them to learn other concepts in later years. Use this section for timed exercises, bell work or just for practice. Basic Fact Practice is also included on the Projectable Lessons CD.

Guided PracticeThe Guided Practice section is on the back of the Student Lesson Sheet. Because students don’t copy problems from a textbook, they have time to complete Guided Practice in class.

We encourage students to ask for help, so they can get every answer correct. Guided Practice will be very easy at the beginning of the year. This is intentional. Your students will see math as something they can readily conquer.

Adapt your use of the Lesson Sheet to the needs of your class. If the students are having difficulty with a concept, practice the concept a bit before moving on to the next lesson. However, because we review previously-taught concepts in Guided Practice, you do not need to look for total mastery for the whole class before moving on.

Guided Practice: back of Student Lesson Sheet


HomeworkHomework reinforces learning, teaches responsibility and involves parents. Students are expected to take the Lesson Sheet home, complete the problems (showing their work), and bring the Lesson Sheet back to class.

If students do their homework using the CheckAnswer, they can score 100% each time. Homework should take 20 minutes each day. There is no homework on test days.

TestsKindergarten has 6 tests while First Grade has 16 tests. All other grades have a test each week. Tests are a mix of story problem, calculation, true-false, and multiple choice questions. Most students can complete a weekly test in 15 minutes.

We assess the students’ progress at mastering concepts that were introduced in the 3-4 weeks prior to the test. We do not test on concepts they learned the week preceding the test.

The test tables in the Teacher Edition indicate which test problems reflect which objectives, and the lesson numbers where that content was first taught. Use the tables if you want to have individual students (or the entire class) review one or two specific lessons.

Quarterly and Year-End tests help student prepare for standardized testing. Students solve for answers, circle the correct choice next to their work and transfer that answer to the bubble-in space on the right-hand side of the page. You may choose to omit the bubble-in process if you prefer.

Create A Problem StoriesThese stories allow students to express their grasp of a complex story while merging math and literacy. We start with simple stories and ask students to observe what is happening in the story. They use those observations to solve problems.

Later in the year we ask students to create a problem or two. Finally, students are able to finish a story in their own words and write several problems about their story ending. When they can create their own problems using stories they have helped to write and using math concepts they have learned, they demonstrate mastery AND integration into their lives.

Tour de Vacation Label the graph and indicate the route taken by the riders. Then write a wordproblem based on the information in the graph.

Ana and her brother Bret watched a bicycle race while on vacation.

After the race was over he asked if she could help him create a graph of

the race route. Ana said "Sure!" They went out to talk to some of the bike

riders who were resting in the park.

The race started in Gap and ended in Marse, eighty miles away. Ana

asked one of the riders what the elevation of Gap was. He replied, "1600

feet." Their hotel was next to an ocean beach, so they knew Marse is at

sea level. Ana put dots on the chart at those points.

Overall the route was gradually downhill. The rider said there was

just one climb that starts at 30 miles, where the elevation is 1000 feet

above sea level. The road goes up to 1250 feet and back down to 1000

feet by the 40-mile point. Ana put dots on the map as he instructed.

Fifteen miles before the finish the road drops to sea level, but it

quickly rises up 200 feet and then drops back to sea level over a 10-mile

distance. The last 5 miles are completely flat, as the riders circled the

beachside town.

After Ana and Bret completed the map, they shared it with the

riders. They agreed it looked like the ride was almost all downhill, but it

seemed like a lot of work when they were doing it! The team invited Ana

and Bret to have lunch with them in the plaza.

ObjectivesEach lesson plan begins with a briefly stated objective. A similar objective also appears at the top left corner of the Lesson Sheets, and in the Scope and Sequence list at the front of the Teacher Edition.

PreparationThe preparation section spells out what you need to do to prepare for your class session. If the list begins with

For the class: then you need one or two sets of items for demonstration from the front of the classroom.

If you see

For each student: then you need one set of items for each of your students, or sometimes for each pair of students.

Most of the items required will be reused in later lessons, so you may wish to save them in plastic bags or containers.

Lesson PlanThe lesson plan gives you suggestions for teaching the lesson. These are not intended to walk you through every second of the math instruction, but to help you introduce the subject to the class, engage the students in discussion and have them begin problem solving. This is NOT a script.

StretchesThese activities are brain teasers or thought-provoking exercises for your students. We recommend you post the problem so students can see and ponder it outside the math class time.

Stretches teach various kinds of thinking skills and math ideas. Like the Lessons, the Stretches spiral through concepts, becoming more difficult as the year continues.

Student Lesson Sheets with AnswersWe provide reduced copies of the student pages with the answers shown so you can see what the class is being asked to do. This helps you in facilitating their activity.

Lesson 139

Common Core ObjectiveStudents will subtract 2 three-digit numbers, regrouping twice.

PreparationFor each student: hundreds exchange board; ones and tens pieces (masters on pages M12 – M15)

Lesson PlanBefore distributing the Lesson Sheets, write

on the board. Have the students model 236 on their exchange boards. Walk through each of the regrouping steps.

When they get their answer, write the following problem on the board.

You are showing them how they can confirm a subtraction answer with addition.

Repeat this process with problem #1.

Distribute the Lesson Sheets. Do #2 – #5 with them one at a time using the same process you did with the examples.

Activities & ExercisesActivities integrate other modes of learning into the class, and cover subjects not easily conveyed on a Lesson Sheet. They give your students a chance to expand their math knowledge and to explore concepts in greater depth. Students might be asked to look at economic items in the newspaper or online, measure items in the classroom, play a base ten game, or make a solid figure from cardboard.

The activities are structured much like a normal classroom lesson, with Objectives, Preparation and Lesson Plan. The activities can be used at the end of the year, if the class finishes a lesson early, or to have a change from normal lessons.

Activities are included in the Scope and Sequence, and they should be taught to ensure you cover all your state requirements.

Kindergarten has Exercises (similar to Activities) every 5th day when there is no test.

ManipulativesThese pages are provided to help support the lessons. If you do not have a specific set of objects, such as play money, or regrouping boards, use the masters in the Manipulative section.

Most manipulative graphics are related directly to one lesson. The lesson preparation section will tell you which one to use.

Some exercises ask the students to make up stories about animals. You can use pictures to help them think of stories - such as horses in a field, cats in the back yard, etc.

GlossaryThe Teacher Edition for each Excel Math grade level includes a glossary of the terms learned that year. A glossary of math terms for all grades is available on our website, in both English and Spanish:www.excelmath.com/downloads/Glossary.html

Common Core Objective Students will generate measurement data by measuring lengths using rulers marked with halves and fourths of an inch. They will show the data by making a line plot marked off in units of whole numbers, halves, or quarters.

PreparationFor the entire class: line plot from 0 - 12 drawn on the board

For each student: ruler with half and quarter inch marks (master on page M7)

Lesson PlanAsk the students to measure 8 objects in the room (under a foot) to the nearest half inch or quarter inch.

Show the measurements by making a line plot on the board, where the horizontal scale is marked off in half-inch or quarter-inch units. Have a student mark the line plot with Xs to show the measurements of the eight objects.

Let each student draw a line plot to show the measurements of the objects that were measured. On the line plot below, the lines between the numbers represent half-inch units:

Ask the students what they notice about their data.

For example, a student might notice that most of the objects measured were 6 inches

or longer, only 2 objects were smaller than 4 inches, or only one of the objects measured more than 10 inches and only one object measured 8½ inches.

Ask, “Do you think if you chose all new objects from the room that your data would look the same? Different? Why do you think so?”

Choose another object in the room for each student to measure. Draw a table on the board showing the measurements: Student Cabinet Height

C. W. 48 1/2 in

J. D. 49 in

K. R. 48 1/2 in

B. T. 48 3/4 in

Have the students find the greatest and least values in the table:49 inches and 48½ inches

Let the class make a line plot from the data. They can draw a number line that includes these extremes, similar to the scale on a ruler and using quarter-inch increments. Have the class record each measurement with an X above the proper mark on the number line.

Point out that if a certain number appears many times in the data table, the Xs will “pile up” above that value on the number line.

Talk about the data, noticing how many students got 48½ inches, how many got less than 49, etc.

CheckAnswer® & Homework

The Excel CheckAnswer is used in Grades 2 - 6. The system allows students to verify their own work. The process involves adding together answers

from two or more problems and comparing that sum to the CheckAnswer.

The CheckAnswer box appears to the right of each set of problems. Space below the CheckAnswer box gives students room to show their work. The example is solved as follows:

1. Take the sum of addition problem A and write it under D.

2. Take the remainder of subtraction problem B and write it under D.

3. Take the product of multiplication problem C and write it under D.

4. Add the three numbers together.5. Compare the result to the CheckAnswer.

If the results do not match, recheck solutions to problems A, B and C and recheck the CheckAnswer.

Addition is always used to keep the CheckAnswer process consistent. We provide examples and instructions at the beginning of the year.

Each Teacher Edition contains a letter to parents explaining the CheckAnswer and asking for their help with checking/confirming homework.

Encourage your students to do the CheckAnswers properly. Checking ones work is a critical math skill.

How many people between 26 and 35 were surveyed?

ROCK CONCERT

Edgar went to a rock concert with his dad. On the way to the concert, the two were wondering whether there would be more people Edgar's age or more people his father's age at the concert.

To answer their question, Edgar decided to ask people how old they were. He knew that he couldn't possibly ask all 7,000 people at the concert how old they were, so he took a random sample of 40 people, hoping that they would accurately represent the ages of everyone at the concert.

Edgar got the following ages in his survey: 18, 24, 38, 34, 34, 17, 17, 21, 19, 27, 13, 20, 40, 33, 28, 22, 11, 28, 32, 15, 24, 19, 20, 22, 36, 27, 21, 18, 15, 18, 24, 30, 14, 18, 20, 23, 24, 28, 17, 33.

When they got home, Edgar displayed the information he had gathered in the form of a histogram. His first step was to organize his data with a tally chart of six different age groups.

The following pages have representative Teacher Edition Lesson Plansand Student Lesson Sheets (with answers shown) from each grade.


KindergartenLesson 64

Lesson Objective Students will create stories that add to 5.

PreparationNo special preparation is required.

Lesson PlanThis lesson is a prelude to addition. Have 3 to 5 students come to the front of the room. They can pretend to be horses, birds or any other animal.

Have the class make up a story about the animals. For example, “Two horses were playing in a field. Another horse came along and joined them.” Ask the class, “How many horses are playing in the field?”

Count the students, touching a shoulder as you count each one. After several examples, start writing the number sentence on the board as you go through the story.

Go through all the horse stories together.

Have 5 students come to the front of the room. Do not say how many students, only their names. Ask two to sit on the floor by saying their names.

Ask how many are sitting on the floor. (Two) Invite the other three by name to sit. Ask the class how many students sat down that time. (Three) Ask how many total students are sitting down. (Five)

Write 2 + 3 = 5 on the board.

Have a student come forward and check the answer by counting how many are sitting on the floor.

Repeat this process using the pictures on the Lesson Sheet as the basis for stories made up by the students.

Guided PracticeWe provide space on the back side of some Lesson Sheets for problems that refresh or remind students of concepts that have been taught earlier.

Use the Guided Practice portion of your math lesson to ask students to “explain their thinking.” Asking students to explain their work will help you to determine the students’ depth of understanding and will give you a chance to clear up any misunderstandings.

Adapt your lesson to the needs of your class. If your students are having difficulty with a concept, take time to practice that concept or reteach it before moving on the next lesson. Since we constantly review previously taught concepts in Guided Practice and concepts spiral through the lessons throughout the year, you do not need to look for total mastery for the whole class before moving on to other concepts.

NOTE: Kindergarten Lesson Sheets do not have a section devoted to Homework. As you see your students reaching a level where they can reliably take their Lesson Sheets home and back, you can assign some or all of the Guided Practice to be done at home.

Lesson 48

Lesson Objective Students will add a one-digit and two-digit number with a sum less than 20.

PreparationFor each student: counters (such as beads, paper clips, raisins or checkers) and a Number Chart (master on page M9)

Lesson PlanHave the students take out their number charts and counters. Have students place a counter on the chart for the ten (the first two-digit number). Then say, “Now add 4 more” and have them place 4 more counters on the chart to indicate the sum. Ask, “Now how many do we have?”

We want them to see addition can be performed by starting with the larger of two numbers and then counting up from that point.

Activity ObjectiveStudents will fill large containers using smaller containers of different sizes.

PreparationFor the entire class: paper cups, plastic drinking glass, water, several large containers that hold water

Activity PlanHave students guess how many small cups of water will fit in a large container. Then ask several students to come forward and pour cupfuls of water into the large container. Put a tally mark on the board to represent each cup.

The container might need a partial cup to fill it exactly. The total number of cups on your tally will be approximate, depending on how they describe the fractional part.

Repeat this process, filling 2 other containers of different sizes. After you have finished, ask the students if they can tell you anything about the three different containers. (The largest container needed the most cupfuls to be filled and the smallest needed the fewest cupfuls.)

Next, use a drinking glass that is larger than the paper cup. Fill one of the containers. Count the number of glassfuls it takes to fill the container. Ask the class what the results mean. Since it takes fewer glassfuls than paper cups, does that mean that the container now holds less water? (No, the glass holds more than the paper cup did. In order to compare volumes of different size containers, you need to use the same size cup or glass.)

Lesson 50

ObjectiveStudents will interpret information from vertical and horizontal bar graphs.

PreparationNo special preparation is required.

You may want to use the Grade 2 Projectable Lesson CD to project the lesson examples onto your electronic board or white board so you can point out the various parts of the graph as you talk about them. Then have a student solve each problem at the board while showing his work. Use a new volunteer for each question. The Bag of Marbles chart is in color on the Projectable slides, which may especially help your visual learners and English Language Learners.

Lesson PlanBar graphs are visual representations of information. There is usually a title for the graph and then along the left side and the bottom there are labels identifying the information to be represented.

Look with the class at the first graph. The horizontal lines on the graph are for the number of days. The numbers 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 are listed. The numbers are counting by 2. The bottom line will always be zero unless otherwise indicated. Ask the students what the lines in between these numbers represent. (1, 3, 5, 7 and 9) This method of not labeling all the lines is common so as to make the numbers that are listed easier to read. The vertical bars are for the months.

The graph represents the number of days Tom worked each month. Next go through

each of the questions with the students. The students should write a number sentence where it is appropriate to answer a bar graph question.

The next graph represents the hours five different students spent reading. The minutes are listed in ten-minute intervals. Ask them what the horizontal lines in between the hour marks represent. (1, 3, 5 and 7) The vertical bars represent the number of hours each student read. Go through each of the questions.

The third graph represents the number of different animals in a pet store. The labels have been reversed so this is now a horizontal bar graph. The numbers are counting by two. Go through each of the questions with the students.

Problems #4 – #6 refer to the graph titled, “Bag of Marbles.” Go through each question with the class. Have the students highlight or circle the distinguishing information in each question (such as the marble color) before they begin to solve the problem.

Stretch 503 children ran a race. How many different possibilities are there for how the race could have finished? Have the students choose three names to find the possibilities.

You can use Score Distribution and Error Analysis charts provided on pages i.20-i.22 and on our website to track student results:www.excelmath.com/downloads.html

Record students’ identification numbers and the number of problems missed. Use tally marks to record how many students missed a particular question. This will help you review problems missed by a number of students.

Create A Problem 18Our back-of-test problems help students integrate math and writing skills. The stories are designed so your students can observe, analyze and participate in the stories. Several consecutive stories may be related, so they might occasionally need to think back to what they did a week ago.

This page may be used as a continuation of the test if your students are comfortable with reading and solving word problems. If not, do this as a separate activity.

Help students verbalize the problem-solving strategies they use. Remind them to show their work as they solve the problems.

Tour de Vacation Label the graph and indicate the route taken by the riders. Then write a wordproblem based on the information in the graph.

Ana and her brother Bret watched a bicycle race while on vacation.

After the race was over he asked if she could help him create a graph of

the race route. Ana said "Sure!" They went out to talk to some of the bike

riders who were resting in the park.

The race started in Gap and ended in Marse, eighty miles away. Ana

asked one of the riders what the elevation of Gap was. He replied, "1600

feet." Their hotel was next to an ocean beach, so they knew Marse is at

sea level. Ana put dots on the chart at those points.

Overall the route was gradually downhill. The rider said there was

just one climb that starts at 30 miles, where the elevation is 1000 feet

above sea level. The road goes up to 1250 feet and back down to 1000

feet by the 40-mile point. Ana put dots on the map as he instructed.

Fifteen miles before the finish the road drops to sea level, but it

quickly rises up 200 feet and then drops back to sea level over a 10-mile

distance. The last 5 miles are completely flat, as the riders circled the

beachside town.

After Ana and Bret completed the map, they shared it with the

riders. They agreed it looked like the ride was almost all downhill, but it

seemed like a lot of work when they were doing it! The team invited Ana

and Bret to have lunch with them in the plaza.

Lesson 73

Objective Students will calculate elapsed time in minutes across the 12 on the clock.

Students will learn division facts with dividends up to 121 with 11 as a factor and up to 144 with 12 as a factor.

PreparationFor the class: an Analog Clock with movable hands (master on page M7)

Optional for each student: paper fastener, Analog Clock with movable hands (master on page M7), scissors, tape

Lesson PlanGo through problems #1 – #4 together, using your clock to model the problems. In the four problems, the students will go through the steps for calculating elapsed time in minutes covering more than an hour.

In problems #5 – #7, provide one multiplication fact and have the students find the other multiplication fact and two related division facts.

TIP: If your students need more practice calculating elapsed time, let them each make a clock. Glue the clock face pattern onto a paper plate or copy it onto card stock. Make sure names are on the clocks. Have the students use them to represent the times shown in the examples. Save the clocks and reuse them as needed.

Stretch 73Ask students to take 4 square pieces of paper, connect the squares to each other along their sides, and arrange them on a flat (plane) surface.

At least one side of each square must be vertical (no shapes can be diagonal). The four squares must be connected by their sides and not by their vertices (as shown).

Into how many positions can the squares be placed?

Besides the time before the hour of 3 and the time after the hour of 4, you will need to add 60 minutes for the hour from 3 to 4.

From the answers to #1 and #2, you know the number of minutes before 4 o'clockand the number of minutes after 4 o'clock. Therefore, the answer to the questionis 15 + 20 which equals 35 minutes. He practiced for 35 minutes.

Lesson 119

Objective Students will arrange fractions, decimal numbers and mixed numbers on a number line.

PreparationFor the class: Draw the number line from the lesson on the board or use the Grade 6 Projectable Lesson CD to project the number line on a whiteboard, screen or wall.

For each student: optional Integer Number Line from the back of this book (master on page G13)

Lesson PlanRead through the top portion of the lesson with the students. For each problem, they are to locate the point that corresponds to the given fraction, decimal number or mixed number.

Each time, the students should give their answers in the format shown on the lesson. For some of the fractions and mixed numbers you may want to set up equivalent fractions. For example, #2 would be six twelfths and one half.

Do problems #1 – #16 together.

For extra practice, give each student his or her own Integer Number Line and group the students into pairs. The first student draws a point on the number line, labels it with a letter (A), and passes the number line to the other student.

The second student must now name the number of that point on the number line. He gets 100 points if he is correct. He then chooses the next point to draw on

the number line and label it with a letter (B). If the players are unsure which letter represents which number, they can ask the teacher or a third student to verify.

Now the second student passes the paper back to the first student who must now name the number of that point on the number line. She gets 100 points if she is correct. She now draws a new point on the number line, labels it with a letter (C), and passes the number line to the other student.

Play continues until one player reaches 500 points or as time allows.

Stretch 119Draw the following figures on the board. The first 2 figures are related in some way. The second set of figures should be related in the same way.

Draw the following figures on the board. Students should fill in the missing figure.
