If the fractions don't have a common denominator, make them have one. Learners first read and analyze a conversation of pupils trying to add 2/5 and 1/2. They compare the process of adding fractions to the process of adding quantities...

The best way to teach students how to compare fractions is using visual means. This instructional activity suggests a variety of ways to help learners understand this concept using a SMART Board, Kidspiration, videos, computer games, and...

Which is the larger amount? Two-fourths of 10 dollars, or one-fourth of 100 dollars? This type of question is the main focus of a worksheet that has learners comparing fractions by their relative size. Each problem contains...

What better way to learn about fractions than with a couple pizzas? Help Jessica figure out how much of the pizza she has eaten, while teaching your class that fractions refer to a specific whole amount. This problem will be challenging...

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!

Reinforce the concept of comparing fractions with a hands-on, two-player game that calls for a visual model, score board, and dice. Players roll dice to acquire their given fraction, create the fraction using fraction tiles, then...

In this comparing numbers worksheet, students compare fractions with uncommon denominators, mixed numbers and whole numbers, and mixed numbers and fractions with uncommon denominators. Students solve 10 problems.

Investigate division through the use of array models. The lesson focuses on using area models to compare division as sharing with division as grouping. Students evaluate the usefulness and limitations of the two array models.

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 demonstrate array models to illustrate division as sharing and grouping. They demonstrate the array models to compare division as sharing with division as grouping. Pupils explore division problems are typically seen as either...

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,...

The next lesson in a math series builds off the previous one in which learners estimated fraction amounts using fraction bars. Here, pupils view equivalent fractions with unlike denominators using fraction bars. Lastly,...

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...

Give scholars the opportunity to show what they know about ordering fractions, decimals, and percents with a five-page, eight-problem independent practice. With clear instructions and supportive advice, learners are bound for a...

Which fraction is greater than? Less than? There are 10 problems here that give scholars a visual approach to comparing fractions. They start by writing the fractions represented in a shaded shape. Then, they begin comparing visual...

Two visual problems give mathematicians a chance to compare fractions with like denominators. They examine two pairs of shapes with portions filled in, adding the greater than, less than, or equal to symbol between each. The shape pairs...

Create your own fraction kits by folding and labeling paper using fraction vocabulary. Learners then work in groups to use these in comparing and sequencing both whole numbers and fractions. They also create unit cubes and develop an...

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,...

Young scholars examine how to convert fractions into decimals and percents. They work with base ten blocks and a worksheet to color in parts of 100 and renaming the parts as decimals and fractions.

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...

Investigate equivalent fractions with your class. They compare and order fractions. Then they work cooperatively in groups to experiment and problem solve with fractions using a game format. Multiple resources are provided.

Compare fractions with different denominators in a handy Common Core based activity. Fourth graders decide which fraction is larger or smaller based on the parts that make up a whole (denominator) and the parts being described...

Fourth and fifth graders explain how to use equivalent fractions. They recognize which fractions are equivalent. Pupils find equivalent fractions. 

Learners 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.
