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 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,...

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...

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...

As a critical-thinking activity, this series of problems would be a great supplemental activity to use after a unit on fractions. The solutions require a good deal of thought and allow learners to tap into their problem solving abilities.

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...

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...

Visualize fractions using segmented shapes. The five shapes here are each divided into equal parts, with some parts shaded. Mathematicians match the shapes to the fraction represented by the shaded region. This is a good way to introduce...

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...

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,...

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...

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, students write a fraction and decimal for a given number...

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, learners are asked to determine whether or not one half of each circle is shaded. To support...

If you are teaching fractions to elementary learners this year, this Singapore Math presentation is essential to your curriculum. It addresses several basic fractions concepts in conceptual terms and figures, making each idea accessible...

Get a clearer picture of working with fractions. While continuing to work with fractions as parts, the video shows how to use drawing to compare and add fractions. Worksheets then provide opportunities for pupils to practice comparing,...

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...

You do not have to be whole to be important. Individuals watch a video on the importance of rational numbers on the number line. Scholars use their knowledge to rename numbers on the number line as well as place rationals on a number...

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...

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 identifying fractions worksheet, students examine 11 pictures, record the fraction shown, and write the words that represent the fractions.

It's time to crack open that piggy bank and see what's inside. First, count up the pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters, identifying what fraction of them are dimes. Then calculate the total value of the coins, writing another fraction...
