Young mathematicians respond to a series of comprehension questions after reading an article about simplifying fractions.

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. 

Students explore tangram puzzles. For this tangram fraction lesson, students read Grandfather Tang and then practice solving tangram puzzles. Students identify fractions of the pieces of the tangram puzzles and then create a design using...

Third graders use fractions manipulatives to explore fractions.  For this fraction lesson, 3rd graders work in groups based on skill to increase understanding of fractions.  Students create fraction books.
