Using Proportions to Estimate Fish Populations Simulation: Capture - Recapture
Show your students how proportional thinking is used by scientists to estimate wildlife populations using a capture - recapture process. In cooperative groups, students will use a lake (paper bag) full of fish (beans) to capture, tag, recapture, and record their findings. They will use their data to write proportions and estimate the total number of fish in the lake. Students will use easy-to-follow instructions on an editable Google Slides presentation and record their data and work on an in

Conversions - Human Number Line Activity
This activity is designed to be used a fun review for converting between fractions, decimals, and percents.. As students enter the room, you will tape a number to their back (they will not look at it).
They can only as "yes" or "no" questions until they determine the value of their number. Once they do that, they will then go to the front of the room to create a human number line based on how their number compares to the rest of the class.

Fraction Division using String!
After a discussion of reciprocals, students work in cooperative groups to prove the fraction division algorithm by folding lengths of string into fractional parts. After practicing by dividing a whole number length of string, they divide a fractional string length into smaller fractional parts.
Aha Moment: When finished, students will have proven why the abstract concept of fraction division is equal to multiplying by the reciprocal of the second fraction.
