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...

Students explore partitioning and equivalency.

Sixth graders review equivalent fractions by using folded paper and shading in different amounts. In this fractions lesson plan, 6th graders review fractions with the paper, and then go onto internet sites to practice concepts on...

Students practice ordering fractions. In this fractions lesson, students determine how to tell when a fraction is close to 1, 1/2 and other various fractions. Students use benchmarks to order fractions.

In this math worksheet, students solve fraction problems. Students find equivalents, use common denominators, and explain their answers.

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.

Young scholars relate fractions to decimals and find and compare equivalent fractions.

Fifth graders explore fractions of whole numbers as they make fraction bead necklaces.

Students engage in hands-on activities and observe videos to develop fraction skills. In one activity, they create "paper pizzas" complete with original toppings. By swapping pieces, students display whole and unique-looking pizzas.

Do your students have what it takes to be the king of math? Find out with this fun skills practice game that covers a wide range of topics from counting and basic operations to measurement and fractions.

Students define properties of fractions and solve for them. In this algebra lesson, students rewrite fractions from mixed numbers to improper fractions. They reduce fractions using the GCF and convert the denominators correctly when...

Students discover fractions by creating models. In this fractions activity, students read Give Me Half! by Stuart J. Murphy and view a video about what fractions actually represent. Students divide a square piece of paper a certain...

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...

Fifth graders make the connections using models between multiplying a fraction times a whole number and multiplying a fraction times a fraction. After completing three teacher-led activities, pupils access a website on their own to play...

Fifth graders compare fractions. In this fraction lesson, 5th graders identify whether a fraction is closest to zero, half, or one and use common denominators. They put fractions in order and complete real-life fraction questions. 

Reinforce the concept of fractions and decimals as part of a whole with a activity 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...

In this fraction, decimal, and percent worksheet, students convert between fractions, decimals, and percents.  Students explore numbers presented in these different forms using models and Gizmo.

Rose's commute to school is a fractional distance. After she runs part of the way, your class needs to determine what fractional distance she ran. This problem explores fraction operations through modeling and computation. The...

A complete lesson on dividing whole numbers by other whole numbers and getting a fraction result. Groups of learners use fractions bars, and strips of paper that are cut to specific lengths. The hands-on activities in the lesson are...

How far is it between school and home? Here is a relatable activity where the participant runs to school a certain fraction of the way. That distance is given in miles. It is up to your learners to determine the distance between home and...

Fourth and fifth graders write fractions and decimals to describe models, draw models to show fractions and decimals, convert factions and decimals, and answer a word problem. They write twenty-seven answers.

Young scholars use Cuisenaire rods to explore common denominators. In this fractions lesson, students build Cuisenaire representations of fractions, then find their equivalent counterparts to find the common denominator.

The commutative property of multiplication applies not only to whole numbers but to fractions as well. Connor and Makayla explore and discuss the idea that 2/3 x 3 is the same as 3 x 2/3. Your 5th grade class will connect with...

Young mathematicians compare two fractions with like denominators and then move to the next level to compare fractions with unlike denominators. They will first try to use mental math to make educated guesses. There are a few guidelines...
