Find the value of fields. Pupils work a performance task to determine the value of individual fields created using the relationships between pattern blocks. The resource provides teachers with several activities and a unit outline on...

The love most preteens have for candy will outweigh their suspicions of fraction arithmetic in a fun problem set and its supporting work. Tasked with helping a fellow student divide a candy bar stash, learners manipulate fractions...

Trick young mathematicians into practicing their basic arithmetic with this extensive collection of fun math games. Whether you're teaching addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, place value, or even fractions, there is a game...

Get ready to solve equivalency problems with fractions using models. A review of numerators and denominators starts things off, followed by a discussion with visual examples of how fractions with different denominators can still be...

Visual models are excellent teaching tools when explaining equivalent fractions. Looking at a rectangle cut into twelfths, students first identify the shaded fraction, and then explain whether the fraction is equal to one-fourth....

Bake-up some cookie fractions with your class in order to determine improper fractions and mixed numbers. Young bakers calculate cookie orders given on an order form. From their calculations, they write the improper fraction, mixed...

Comparing equivalent fractions is one of the most difficult math concepts to teach to youngsters. How can numbers that look so different actually represent the same thing? This presentation takes a lot of the mystery out of equivalent...

Sixth graders practice their fraction and number line skills by identifying where a given fraction is located on the line. Provide mathematicians with a colored pencil for easy identification of the fraction.

New ReviewLet the class color. The video shows two different types of fraction of shapes problems. Pupils learn to shade a given fraction of a shape along with determining the fraction of a shape that is shaded. Learners practice the skill with...

New ReviewAmuse learners with a lesson on amusement parks and fractions. Using provided census data on the number of amusement parks in each state, third graders represent the fraction of states that fall within a certain range. They create a...

Five questions make up an interactive all about adding fractions with like denominators. Mathematicians answer multiple-choice problems and an open-ended question using a fraction model that resembles sliced bread. The practice ends with...

An interactive challenges scholars to subtract mixed numbers. Pupils answer questions—multiple-choice, fill in the blank, and true or false—with help from virtual fraction strips. The practice closes with a discussion. 

Subtracting fractions with unlike denominators is the focus of an interactive designed to boost mathematicians' problem-solving skills. Five questions challenge participants to answer multiple-choice and true or false questions with help...

Prepare the class for multiplying fractions using a sweet lesson. The task uses chocolate bars as a context for working with multiplying fractions by whole numbers. Pupils must interpret the meaning of a partial whole within the context...

Here's an interactive that will be a great match for math lesson plans. Young mathematicians use an interactive game to match fractions represented numerically and as fraction models. One game assesses fractions only, while the other...

There's nothing improper in learning about fractions. Scholars apply an interactive to explore models for proper and improper fractions. They then answer a set of questions in a game that requires building models for given fractions and...

An interactive made up of five questions tests scholars' knowledge of equivalent fractions. Two fraction circles with moveable parts assist mathematicians in finding solutions. Questions are multiple-choice with one discussion. 

Locate types of fractions on the number line. Using a number line, the video shows where the location is depending on fraction type. By thinking about fractions' locations, scholars compare the types and use that information to estimate...

Cut it up into parts and make fractions. The short video provides a definition of fractions as being a representation of parts of a whole. Using drawings, the presentation shows how to determine the bottom and top numbers for a fraction...

Make the cookies healthy. The assessment task asks pupils to determine the number of cookies they could make based on a given amount of ingredients. Given two sugar substitutes, learners determine which substitute would be better and...

One task, broken into four parts, challenges mathematicians to show what they know about fractions. Using a number line and models, scholars compare fractions and prove proficiency through written responses. 

Looking for a thorough task that relates shapes, area, and fractions? Look no more! Learners partition shapes to relate the equal parts to fractions, all while identifying the area the surface area of the shape.

Young mathematicians use a bell and hammer to see how high or low the puck goes. Then, they order the fractional values to demonstrate the greatest to lowest hit. Students then respond to several questions that require them to use...
