Reinforce the concept of fractions and decimals as part of a whole with a instructional activity that begins with a mixed review, then goes into a three problem guided practice, and ends with a collaborative activity. The guided practice...

What can quesadillas teach your class about fractions? More than you might think. AJ and Zoe from the StudyJams! crew use this Mexican cuisine to explain how fractions are just equal parts of a whole, defining the key terms numerator and...

Submarine sandwiches not only taste good, they also make for great math models. Follow along as Zoe explains how to calculate equivalent fractions, while cutting up a sandwich for herself and her friend. She demonstrates the process...

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...

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...

The world of fractions is the focus of this math PowerPoint. Young mathematicians are introduced to terms such as: numerator, denominator, equivalent, and fraction bar. Two test preparation slides are included, as well as a slide that...

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....

Dice up fractions and bring this game into the classroom. Players roll dice to create fractions, and then have to find an equivalent fraction on the board. Once they get three in a row, they win! 

An excellent activity that effectively pulls together the concepts of area, fractions, and equivalent fractions! Using 3x2 rectangular arrays, 3rd graders are introduced to the concept of area in terms of square units. Building on this...

Help the class understand how to different fractions can be equivalent. Mixed numbers and fractions are defined, equivalent fractions are shown and described, and problem solving strategies are used for a class...

Your learners will enjoy thoroughly understanding fractions, and you will appreciate the abundant, quality resources in this comprehensive unit that builds toward a complete understanding of the concept of fractions as numbers. Many...

Learn how to identify equivalent fractions by using divisors. After reading and discussing the skill, young mathematicians solve two problems using visual fraction models, and then solve eight equivalent fraction problems...

An extensive lesson explores equivalent fractions and is intended for three 60-minute periods. Young mathematicians compare and order fractions with like and unlike denominators. Included are worksheets, assessments, and answer sheets;...

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,...

Arrange improper fractions on a number line to determine the equivalency to whole numbers. The number line starts at -4 and ends at 4, while users must turn the improper fraction into a proper fraction in order to place it on the number...

An outstanding presentation on fractions and their equivalents awaits your mathematicians. They view many excellent examples of models of fractions that look different numerically, but are actually the same in value. Terrific practice...

In this recognizing fractions worksheet, learners observe explanations and examples of pie charts and bars and use them to color, write the fraction of the shaded part, and draw and color pie charts. They will solve thirty-two problems.

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.

Groups of learners create an animation illustrating fractions using common objects. They choose everyday objects that they can divide into fractions. They take pictures of the objects dividing into fractions and create an animation with...

How can you tell if fractions have equal value? Use various collaborative activities to demonstrate the ways to determine whether or not fractions are equivalent.

Reinforce fraction instruction with an informative worksheet equipped to provide independent practice, as well as guidance and modeling. Support is provided to boost proficiency in finding equivalent fractions, and adding,...

Follow along with RJ from the Study Jams! crew as he walks step-by-step through the process for comparing fractions with unlike denominators. Starting with finding the least common denominator, the presentation goes on to demonstrate how...

Learners compare three sets of fractions using the greater than, less than, and equal signs. To justify their answers, a drawing is also required that illustrates their reasoning. Including fractions with like and unlike denominators, as...

Help your fourth graders make cents out of fractions and decimals with this short word problem. After learning that dimes are one-tenth and pennies one-hundredth of a dollar, young scholars write a fraction and decimal for a given...
