Piece by piece young scholars build a basic understanding of fractions in a Common Core-designed elementary math lesson. Through a series of hands-on activities and journaling exercises, and with the help of multiple...

Build on knowledge of fractions to build fractions. Pupils use interactives that require building fraction models for given fractions or mixed numbers and identifying fractions or mixed numbers for given models. A lab area lets users...

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...

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...

In this math PowerPoint, the process of adding fractions with unlike denominators is broken down into a logical, easy-to-follow sequence of steps. Definitions and examples of multiples, least common multiple, and least common denominator...

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

Represent fractions visually using shape models. Scholars color in two sets of shapes to represent specific fractions: 2/3 and 3/4. The shapes are segmented into equivalent fractions for most of these, so scholars need to understand this...

No more inverting and multiplying to divide fractions. Applying concepts of measurement division from the previous instructional activity, pupils consider partitive division using fraction bars and number lines. They first convert...

There's nothing improper in learning about fractions. Scholars apply an interactive to explore models for proper and improper fractions. They then answer a set of questions in a game that requires building models for given fractions and...

Fraction fanatics play a memory game using equivalent fraction cards. Individuals pair up with another player and match one fraction to another that represents its simplest form. The teacher's advanced preparation mentions that you will...

Young learners compare the relative values of fractions by making physical representations. They fold and label strips of paper that are equal in length to represent "one whole" and the equal parts that fractions represent. Also, they...

This fractions PowerPoint defines and gives examples of multiples and least common multiple, then models how to list multiples and circle the least common multiple. Each step to use in subtracting fractions with unlike denominators is...

This unit on fractions allows for upper-aged elementary learners to explore ways to find the greatest common factor and least common multiple of two numbers. Ultimately, young mathematicians will be able to identify equivalent fractions,...

An interactive made up of five questions tests scholars' knowledge of equivalent fractions. Two fraction circles with moveable parts assist mathematicians in finding solutions. Questions are multiple-choice with one discussion. 

Teach your math class to determine the value of fractions. The group will explore how to break a fractional part into smaller pieces, which helps strengthen their understanding of the part/whole relationship of fractions. A written...

It is all about being equivalent. Class members convert between fractions, decimals, and percents. By using visual models, scholars verify their conversions in the 25th portion of a 29-part series.

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

Multiply your understanding of multiplying fractions. A short lesson teaches pupils how to multiply fractions. By using fraction models, they get a better understanding of the concept.

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.

Math wizards practice adding fractions with unlike denominators on this simple matching worksheet. Presented with ten addition expressions, children must calculate the sum of each and match them to the correct...

Learners compare three sets of fractions using the greater than, less than, and equal signs. To justify their answers, a drawing is also required that illustrates their reasoning. Including fractions with like and unlike denominators, as...

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....

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

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...
