With this packet, kids are introduced to fractional concepts by completing 10 pages of exercises. They learn equal and unequal parts, shading fractions, looking at pictures to determine fractions, finding equivalent fractions and finding...

Using a Smart Board, or a plain ol' white board or chalkboard, the teacher pulls up a grid and demonstrates how squares and rectangles can be divided up into equal parts. The class will get their own graph paper to draw shapes and divide...

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...

Make learning fractions easy for your second and third graders! They refer to a picture of a sandwich cut in thirds to remember that all three pieces put together is one whole. Then they color in different horizontal bars to illustrate...

Upper graders explore fractions to determine a fractional part of a whole. They are given 30 pieces of popcorn and asked to divide it into halves, thirds, etc. Students practice representing the popcorn groups as a numerator and...

Have fun with fractions in a math card game activity! Cut out the fraction cards and use them to reinforce fraction concepts, including common denominators, parts of a whole, and equivalent fractions. 

Reinforce math concepts using six worksheets that coincide with Virtual Math Girl's video instruction. The practice pages' objectives include writing equivalent fractions, decimal equivalents, and converting percents to decimals and...

Let's use math to solve an argument. Jon and Charlie are debating about who can run farther, but who is right? That's what your class will figure out as they apply their understanding of fractions to this real-life situation. A simple,...

Provide learners with practice for identifying equivalent fractions. The first learning exercise contains 15 problems that instruct pupils to name fractions based on visuals, and to find missing parts to equivalent fractions. In the...

Practice identifying equivalent fractions with this worksheet. There are 10 short-answer questions for your mathematicians to answer. An "Equivalent Fraction Wall" worksheet is provided to aid your class in answering each question.

Math can be satisfying for the mind and the stomach! Incorporate slices of pizza into your fractions instructional activity with a set of informative resources. After a brief guided instructional activity on comparing and ordering...

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...

Practice converting with a decimals, fractions, and percents math worksheet. Learners work to complete 10 problems, each one with a different starting point to the conversion process.    

This short problem with representing fractions on a number line is more than meets the eye. Labeled only with the numbers zero and 1/4, a number line is used to locate the fraction 2/3. A solution can be found in multiple ways, but young...

Third graders use strips of paper to find equivalent fractions. They will fold paper into thirds and shade 2/3 of the paper. Then fold the same paper in six parts and predict how many parts will be shaded. They will repeat again folding...

In this fractions activity, students solve 6 problems in which the fraction that names the shaded part in the picture is circled from 3 choices.

Students become familiar with fractions, and have a meaningful experience to relate them to. They write fractions, and identify numerators and denominators.

Engage young mathematicians in learning about fractions with this cross-curricular math and music lesson. After listening to and repeating different beat patterns, children realize that musical notes are just another way of representing...

Young mathematicians will be excited to practice reducing fractions to lowest terms with this worksheet, which reveals a secret image after all their work has been completed!

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...

Students identify fraction terminology. Using the book, Eating Fractions, as a guide, students list the foods shared in the book. They experiment with string and Fruit by the Foot candy to increase their knowledge of equal fractions....
