Help your third graders become familiar with equivalent fractions for one-half by having them create a quilt. They will use triangles to create a quilt of equivalent fractions over a period of 6 days. As they create the quilt pieces they...

Geometric shapes make great visual models for introducing young mathematicians to the concept of fractions. Looking at a series of four circles, students are asked to determine whether or not one half of each circle is shaded. To support...

What was Bryce's mistake? Through analysis of a student work example, learners develop their own ability to compare the fractions one fourth and one half. Central to this activity is the concept that, when comparing fractions, the whole...

Young mathematicians explore number values by utilizing food as a visual aide. They discuss the differences between halves, fourths, and eighths and how they are visually represented by a pizza. Then create their own pizza in class and...

Reach out to your visual and kinesthetic learners with this set of printable fraction strips. Not only is this resource a great way to develop children's fractional number sense, it's bound to capture their engagement as well.

A learning task that involves creative ways of thinking permits children to use paper models as a way to visualize the fraction one-half. Learners can fold or cut their models in such a way that the unshaded regions, and shaded...

We are not exactly sure what a Squeeble is, but apparently they love cake and fractions, and your little bakers-turned-mathematicians will also. This app focuses on the basics of fractions including modeling fractions, equivalent...

Learners calculate equivalent fractions, solve the addition of fractions of like and unlike denominators, and compare fractions using fraction strips. They fold paper strips into equal parts, thirds, sixths, ninths, and twelfths, and...

Use number lines to give kids a visual representation of various fractions. There are eight number lines provided, and each one grows in difficulty. The first one, for example, only has three points: zero, one half, and one. The last...

Which ones are equivalent? Scholars examine four fraction models to determine which ones represent the same fraction. This is a great way to help kids with numerators and denominators, as they can physically count the total number of...

Reinforce number sense with a collection of math lessons for kindergarteners through fifth graders. Young mathematicians take part in hands-on activities, learning games, and complete skills-based worksheets to enhance proficiency...

Is your class having trouble with mixed numbers and rounding to the nearest whole number? Use this instructional activity in your fractions unit to help struggling math students with this tricky skill. An example demonstrates how to...

Support your young mathematicians' introduction to the world of fractions with this simple printable resource. Offering students a hands-on opportunity for learning how to visually represent fractions, this template would make...

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...

Young scholars demonstrate how to solve addition and subtraction of fractions. In this fractions lesson, students use folded paper to shade in fractional parts and identify the sum of the parts shaded.

Young mathematicians are introduced to fractions in a unit that helps them to understand parts of a whole.

There is no doubt that learners remember what they have learned when they have a visual representation. Using an egg carton and candy bars, they explore the concept of fractional amounts. By having students cut the egg carton into parts...

There's no need to go out and buy fraction flash cards when you have this printable resource at your fingertips. With a total of 45 cards, you will be able to provide young mathematicians with the support they need as they are...

Students are introduced to fractions by completing 2 pages of problems with a pizza theme. They complete a chart where they name the fractional part they see in pizzas, then shade the pizzas to solve 1o word problems.

Deepen the fractional number sense of young learners with this introductory lesson on equivalent fractions. After completing a short warm-up activity, children go on to work in pairs using fraction circles to complete a table of...

In this fractions worksheet, students divide pictures into halves to introduce them to fractions. Students complete 3 sets of problems.

Explore equivalent fractions! Youngters measure the crown of their head with adding tape labeled with various fractions and fractional parts, and compare strips to notice numerical relationships. They fold adding tape in half and color...

Learners explore equal fractions in relationship to a whole unit. They fold strips of paper into halves, thirds, etc. and compare them to the first strip which represents a "whole unit." Fractional parts are identified and compared.

Kids will compare creating fractions from pieces of paper to chips. They begin with a fractional part and work back to a whole. Then order fractions from smallest to largest. They also complete a worksheet to find the missing pieces to...
