Third graders practice adding and subtracting fractions. In this addition lesson, 3rd graders use paper fraction kits made from colored construction paper and complete several fraction problems on the chalkboard.

In this ordering fractions and decimals practice worksheet, students sharpen their problem solving skills as they solve 6 story problems.

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...

Using the colored strips of paper they created on day one, learners explore dividing one item equally into three, five, six, nine, 10, and 12 servings. They use their number lines to illustrate what each fraction would look like. 

A simple question, with a not-so-simple answer. Working with whole and mixed number measurements in inches, feet, and yards presents a problem with many possible solutions. A great activity that challenges the minds of young...

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.

Few things can motivate children to learn like the promise of a sweet and tasty treat. Given a bag of M&M®s, Skittles®, or other colorful candy, students first predict the contents of the bag before counting the pieces,...

Take your best educated guess. After being presented with a video of a glass of candies, class members estimate the number of each color of candies. Pupils view a graphic showing more information on the fraction of candies before...

It's assessment time! Determine your young mathematicians' understanding of elapsed time with this brief, five-question quiz.

All hail the king! Young mathematicians put their skills to the test as they strive to become the king of math.

Learners work in groups to compare fractions. They check their answers using fraction manipulatives. They write their answers on a white board.

Identify, compare, and order fractions with a hands-on learning tool. Fraction strips are a great way to help young mathematicians understand and visualize fraction values. The worksheet can be made into an activity in which pupils cut...

Third graders use whole numbers and fractions to make connections between abstractions of the mathematical world and the real world. In this fractions and measurement lesson, 3rd graders identify, quantify groups , and measure distances....

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...

In this compare and order worksheet, students solve 6 word problems; all problems are related to comparing and ordering fractions, decimals and percents.

Young mathematicians record and analyze data. They will take attendance for their class and compare to other days. Then discuss ways to count who is present. They may also show the amount of students present using fractions.

Upper graders explore division through fair-shares. They will review fair shares and fractions as a segway into division. They start by playing "Share Fairly" game and create mathematical arguments for solving problems. Manipulatives and...

In this fractions worksheet, students solve 6 problems in which a story that compares two amounts of money is first read. Students determine which amount is greater. Students will be comparing decimals with fractions.

Third graders use fractions to describe part of a set. For this fractions lesson, 3rd graders are introduced to fractions through a book and use pattern blocks to describe a fraction as a part of a set. This lesson includes a scripted...

In this discovering fractions worksheet, students read explanations with examples of fractional parts and mixed numbers and use them to create fractions. Students write four answers.

Third graders recognize that the larger the denominator of a fraction, the smaller the piece you have.  In this fraction activity, 3rd graders compare fractions and order them from largest to smallest. Students complete an exercise...

Students create a set of fraction circles using a paper folding technique. They fold 10 inch circles of paper into the indicated fractions, identify the fractions, and use them to show equivalency.

In this recognizing fraction usage worksheet, students measure fractions in recipes, match fractions and pictures, and compare pizzas. Students solve 18 problems.

There are three quick number ordering activities here for your mathematicians. First, they analyze data on the number of three types of pies sold. Scholars choose from four ordered lists the one showing fewest to most sold. Then, they...
