Students observe and demonstrate a variety of activities to identify the fraction parts and the symbols they represent. As a class they explore different fractions using unifix cubes, then use the cubes to build and discuss the...

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...

For this prime factorization worksheet, learners find the prime factorization of numbers by using a factor tree. They compare fractions and identify equivalent fractions, and find the greatest common factor, order numbers, and convert...

Young scholars become familiar with fractions, and have a meaningful experience to relate them to. They write fractions, and identify numerators and denominators.

Get a handle on equivalent fractions through the use of manipulatives. Using area models, sets, and length manipulatives like fraction strips and Cuisenaire rods, the class will gain a deeper understanding of equivalent fractions....

Explore fractions using different manipulatives and illustrations. Your class can create a variety of models of fractions and mixed numbers with drawings and manipulatives. They then work to compare fractions, mixed numbers, and whole...

Who doesn't love cookies? In this lesson, learners follow a recipe to make cookies, practicing their ability to compare fractions as they go. This is a wonderful way to motivate your class to practice this important skill.

There's nothing better than using a cooking lesson to teach about fractions! In this clever lesson, young chefs must determine the proper amounts of ingredients while using a standard measuring cup. The recipe is embedded in the plan,...

Fifth graders use concepts of measurement to record the dimensions of a pencil. The unit of a pencil is used to compare it as part of a larger measurement like a yard. Students convert equivalent fractions accurately. Students also...

Compare fractions with common numerators! Pupils look at fractions with different denominators and the same numerator to find which one is bigger. They look at hands-on manipulations of fractions to understand the concept of why one is...

Sixth graders engage in an investigation about the concepts related to fractions. They read, represent, compare, and order proper and improper fractions, and mixed numbers. They demonstrate an understanding of relationships involving...

For this fractions worksheet, students answer fraction word problems and evaluate equations with fractions and variables. Students complete 7 questions.

Twelve chapters cover a multitude of math concepts found in the Common Core standards for sixth grade. Each title provides a brief explanation of what you will find inside the chapter—concepts from which you can click on and learn more...

There is more than one way to determine a sum. Scholars demonstrate their understanding of the decomposition of fractions similar to the decomposition of whole numbers. The short task requires pupils to determine which sums of fractions...

Race to extreme fluency. Scholars play a car race online game where the faster they choose the answer to fraction addition and subtraction problems, the faster their cars go. Pupils play against the computer or other players online....

Consistency is the key. One lemon wedge per glass of water makes a nice glass of lemonade. Young scholars must identify the number of lemon wedges they need to make the same lemonade in a big gulp cup. They develop their own...

Pull hard to convert fractions. Players participate in a tug of war against each other or the computer by practicing converting fractions to decimals. With each correct response, the player's puppy pulls a little harder. Play continues...

Many problems in life have more than one possible solution, and the same is true for advanced mathematics. Scholars solve seven problems that all have at least two solutions. Then three higher-level thinking questions challenge them to...

Teach pupils to handle fractions fluently. The sixth installment in the series of 28 has class members apply the concepts learned in previous lessons to expressions with fractional coefficients. The fractions are both mixed numbers and...

What do fractions and rational expressions have in common? Everything! Learners use common denominators to solve rational equations. Problems advance from simple to more complex, allowing pupils to fully understand the material before...

Sixth graders read word problems that involve finding the percent of an item, given the fraction. 

In this math learning exercise, students use the fraction strips to label the parts of one whole and discover equivalent fractions. The first fraction is labeled in each strip to clue students on how to write the remaining fractions.

In this addition and subtraction of fractions worksheet, 8th graders complete eighteen missing fractions to make each one an equivalent fraction. Students, in addition, complete twenty one problems involving LCM of denominators.

Students determine the common denominator of two unlike fractions. They practice adding fractions and finding equivalent fractions of numbers. They compare and contrast different types of equations involving fractions and construct...
