Now that the practice is over, see if young mathematicians can utilize their new skills on finding common denominators and adding fractions. The assessment contains one map challenge and follows with skills practice. 

A simple lesson with a lot of support behind it. Your learners will find out how long it takes Molly to run a mile by choosing their solution method. The activity can be used as a lesson or as an independent assignment. Preface with...

Visual models support young mathematicians as they deepen their fractional number sense in this elementary math lesson. Using fraction circle manipulatives, children explore basic unit fractions as they develop the fundamental...

Your fifth graders will appreciate the simple, direct explanations, examples, and practice exercises in this well-organized unit on fractions. Beginning with an introduction to fractions, the packet flows smoothly through the fraction...

Develop young mathematicians' ability to compare fractions with investigation into the number 1/2. After brainstorming a list of fractions equivalent to 1/2, children identify a pattern in the numerators and...

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...

Visual models support young mathematicians with exploring equivalent fractions. Starting with a quick warm-up problem, children go on to work through a series of guiding practice problems before working with a partner identifying and...

Pupils stretch their conversion math muscles with a decimals, fractions, and percents worksheet. Ten problems require learners to match the given decimal, fraction, or percent to its equivalent. 

Could you develop your own way to add fractions with unlike denominators? An in-depth task has scholars examine a fictional conversation between several people in which they discuss a method of adding fractions with unlike denominators....

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

Fourth and fifth graders look at the pictures of nine circle fraction pieces and draw lines between the ones that show the same amount. They label each fraction circle. They split fraction pieces in the next 9 examples, and draw the new...

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...

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...

In this fractions worksheet, students analyze a data table with fractions that show screw lengths in Phillips and flat head screws. Students solve 5 word problems about equivalent fractions in the data table.

Project this visual fraction problem for the entire class, covering up the explanation below. Learners examine two rectangles segmented into equal parts, each with part shaded. They convert each into fractions and reduce to lowest terms...

In this equivalent fractions worksheet, students use the math model tower to solve the equivalent fractions word problems. Students solve six problems.

It's all about fractions here; scholars start with two pairs of equivalent fractions, each missing one number. They solve to determine the missing numerator and denominator. Then, they determine which of four choices is equivalent to a...

In this model equivalent fractions worksheet, students sharpen their problem solving skills as they solve 6 story problems.

With this packet, kids are introduced to fractional concepts by completing 10 pages of exercises. They learn equal and unequal parts, shading fractions, looking at pictures to determine fractions, finding equivalent fractions and finding...

Learners reduce fractions to their simplest form. They divide and multiply when needed in order to convert each fraction. This is a quick and easy way to review this skill.

There is one visual fraction question here with an answer detailed below; consider projecting this as an all-class warm up, covering up the bottom until the class has offered their thoughts. Learners assess four fraction models to...

In this fractions instructional activity, students solve 6 story problems. Students will need to change fractions have common denominators before comparing them.

Make learning fractions easy for your second and third graders! They refer to a picture of a sandwich cut in thirds to remember that all three pieces put together is one whole. Then they color in different horizontal bars to illustrate...

In this equivalent fractions learning exercise, students learn to find equivalent fractions using shaded parts of a whole. Students complete several equivalent fractions using the shaded figures.
