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. 

Could you fit a million dollars in a suitcase? Scholars review number sense in a set of three activities. The first has them determine whether a million dollars in $1 bills will fit in a standard suitcase. The second and third activities...

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...

Ours is to wonder why, not just to invert and multiply. The seventh installment of a 21-part module uses fraction models to help pupils understand why the invert-and-multiply strategy for dividing fractions works. They then work on some...

No more inverting and multiplying to divide fractions. Applying concepts of measurement division from the previous lesson, pupils consider partitive division using fraction bars and number lines. They first convert fractions to like...

Use a unit approach in developing a fraction division strategy. The teacher leads a discussion on division containing units, resulting in a connection between the units and like denominators. Pupils develop a rule in dividing fractions...

Connect division with multiplication through the use of models. Groups solve problems involving the division of a whole number by a fraction using models. The groups share their methods along with the corresponding division and...

Divide fractions just like a model does. Pupils visualize the division of a fraction by a whole number by creating models. Scholars make the connection between dividing by a whole number and multiplication before practicing the skill...

Support math vocabulary with a reference sheet designed for fifth grade scholars. Three pages offer 13 terms accompanied by their definition and a picture representation. Terms include equation, perpendicular, ordered pair, and more! 

Learners find the midpoint between two numbers, shade fractional amounts of rectangles as well as decimal amounts of rectangles, and explain their mathematical reasoning in words. The assessment is a great way to check for understanding...

What are fractions? Find out using a reference page and video that goes in depth on how to make fractions equivalent, write fractions in simplest form, convert improper fractions into mixed numbers, and vice versa. Following the detailed...

Reinforce the concept of comparing fractions with a hands-on, two-player game that calls for a visual model, score board, and dice. Players roll dice to acquire their given fraction, create the fraction using fraction tiles, then compare...

Practice identifying fractions with a worksheet that asks scholars to explore drawings and pinpoint parts of a whole. Class members asses figures and objects to identify the numerator, denominator, and write them in fraction form. 

Don't fret when you need to split up some candy among friends. Watch how the video describes the correct way to break whole pieces into fractions. Everyone gets an equal amount as the video visualizes the pieces and shows why everyone...

A whole pizza is definitely better than a half, but is an eight piece pizza better than a six-piece pizza? Watch how one whole can be composed of infinite choices of numerators and denominator as long as they match. 

Guide young mathematicians toward understanding visual fractions. The first page of an educational math lesson connects fractional parts on a number line to fair shares in a shape. The resource points out that each fractional part in a...

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.

Invite your class to demonstrate their fraction knowledge using this fraction squares printable that shows a whole divided into halves, thirds, fourths, fifths, sixths, eighths, tenths, twelfths, and sixteenths.

Use this fraction circles template that represents a whole, halves, thirds, fourths, fifths, sixths, eighths, and twelfths to visually reinforce children's understanding of fractions.

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...

Bring your math instruction into the digital age with this set of virtual manipulatives. Offering visual models of fractions, decimals, and percents this useful resource is a must-have for any upper-elementary classroom.

Piece by piece young scholars build a basic understanding of fractions in a Common Core-designed elementary math lesson. Through a series of hands-on activities and journaling exercises, and with the help of multiple online resources,...
