Fraction Funnies
Students complete a fraction exercise in which they are given clues to find the answer to a joke, and then make up their own "Fraction Funny" sheet using their own jokes (riddles) and clues.

Introduction to Spreadsheets
In this two-week unit the students will use a teacher made spreadsheet to learn how calculations work. Then student teams will work together to create their own "store" order form on a spreadsheet. The final part of the lesson is a simulated game show where students "shop" at each others stores, trying to spend an exact amount of money without going over, getting closer to their required amount than any other team.

Another look at the set model using attribute pieces
In this lesson, one of a multi-part unit from Illuminations, students work with sets in which the objects look different based on the idea that objects in the set are not the same size and shape. Students also use fractions to describe a set of attribute pieces.
