Here is a comparing and ordering fractions learning activity that extends young mathematicians understanding of fractions with like and non-like denominators. By representing and explaining each fraction in a picture or diagram, learners...

Have your class demonstrate their ability to compare fractions with this short multiple-choice assessment. Using the fractions 9/8 and 9/4, the young scholars first make comparisons using both words and the greater than/less than signs....

Base ten blocks serve as visual representations of numbers that include decimals to the hundredths place. Children compare and order decimals in their math journal as they build the corresponding numbers with base ten blocks.

It's a snow day, and two brothers attending schools with different schedules each got a late start to the day. But who had the shorter school day? That's what your class will find out as they apply their knowledge of fractions to this...

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.

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;...

Students practice comparing and ordering fractions, mixed numbers, and decimals. In this fractions, mixed numbers, and decimals lesson, students examine a decimal place value chart compared to a whole number place value chart. They...

Young mathematicians use a bell and hammer to see how high or low the puck goes. Then, they order the fractional values to demonstrate the greatest to lowest hit. Students then respond to several questions that require them to use...

A seemingly simple question that reveals a lot about a student's understanding of fractions. In finding an answer, learners compare fractions with different denominators that are both greater and less than one. No number line is...

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...

Construct a fraction kit with your elementary classes. Each learner will get various strips of colored paper. As a class, they fold the different colors into different sizes to recognize that each represents a different fraction. When...

Conquer any irrational fears you might have of irrational numbers. As class members investigate how to represent numbers geometrically, they learn about rational and irrational numbers, including approximating and ordering rational...

Compare fraction models to fractions on a number line in an interactive that uses pumpkin pies as the model. Pupils look at pumpkin pie models to determine their improper fraction value. They use their knowledge to answer five questions...

Learners solve word problems using number sense. They convert fractions to decimals and mixed numbers. Pupils determine if a given fraction is greater or less than another fraction, and order numbers on a number line.

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...

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...

In this fractions instructional activity, students make each of the 12 fractions a mixed number. Students also make four fractions into improper fractions. On the next pages, students write down six equivalent fractions for the given...

Sixth graders explore using inverse operations to solve decimal and fraction problems. In this decimal and fraction instructional activity, 6th graders prepare ribbon for a part and need to cut it in equal lengths. Students analyze the...

Straight from the pages of a math textbook, this three-lesson series introduces young mathematicians to the world of integers. Starting with a definition of integers and their applications in the real world, this resource goes on to...

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

Subtracting fractions that have unequal denominators is a tricky process. The lesson utilizes fraction bars as a manipulative, in order to understand subtracting fractions and estimating differences. After completing three activities in...

Fourth graders compare and order fractions. In this comparing and ordering fractions instructional activity, 4th graders make fraction strips from construction paper but pretend that they are candy bars. They use the strips to compare...

Students discuss the nature of fractions and compare fractions based on a similar whole to determine relative size.

In this math activity, students convert decimals to fractions and back. The decimals go up to the tenths place. Students also compare fractions and decimal numbers using the < and > signs.
