Third graders use strips of paper to find equivalent fractions. They will fold paper into thirds and shade 2/3 of the paper. Then fold the same paper in six parts and predict how many parts will be shaded. They will repeat again folding...

Students explore the concept of locating rational numbers on a number line. In this rational numbers lesson, students change improper fractions to mixed numbers to determine where on a number line the rational number belongs. Students...

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...

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.

Students complete a worksheet.  For this fractions lesson, students review their knowledge of fractions, define equivalent fractions, see examples of equivalent fractions and practice making equivalent fractions.

Students study fractions. In this equivalent fractions lesson, students utilize fraction strips to enhance their understanding of equivalent fractions. They watch a demonstration and then work independently with their own set of fraction...

Let's use math to solve an argument. Jon and Charlie are debating about who can run farther, but who is right? That's what your class will figure out as they apply their understanding of fractions to this real-life situation. A simple,...

Create your own fraction kits by folding and labeling paper using fraction vocabulary. Learners then work in groups to use these in comparing and sequencing both whole numbers and fractions. They also create unit cubes and develop an...

Don't use use a fraction of the resource — use it all! Scholars attempt a set of five problem-of-the-month challenges on fractions. Levels A and B focus on creating fractions and equivalent fractions, while Levels C, D, and E touch on...

Fifth and sixth graders compare decimals to the place-value structure in the base-ten number system. They represent fractions as parts of unit wholes, as parts of a set, as locations on a number line, and as divisions of whole numbers....

High schoolers use color-cued fraction strips and a color-cued numberline to develop basic fraction concepts and correct sequencing. They complete a worksheet using equivalent fractions to solve the problems.

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...

In this using number lines and fractions worksheet, 4th graders use the number lines given to find fractions in between other fractions.

Welcome to Fraction City! This is an incredibly interactive and fun way to teach properties of fractions, and reaches multiple learning styles. Scholars create "blocks" by folding strips of paper in various increments (thirds, fourths,...

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...

In this sample test worksheet, learners solve twenty-five problems covering prime factorization, equivalent fractions, greatest common factor, and plotting on a number line.  Solutions are provided.

Students graph families of equivalent fractions and compare them by observing the slope of the line formed by each fraction family. They place fractions in ascending order by comparing the slopes of each line after several families of...

Ten bales of hay divided into equal parts. Which two bales of hay are equivalent to each other? Here, young mathematicians match equivalent bale of hay fractions to one another.

Put fractions in simpler terms. Learners watch a video showing how to simplifying fractions. They then work through two worksheets to practice the skill.

In this understanding equivalent fractions worksheet, 5th graders use a computer program for instruction, then answer 15 questions about equivalent fractions.

For this fractions instructional activity, students make each of the 12 fractions a mixed number. Students also make four fractions into improper fractions. On the next pages, students write down six equivalent fractions for the given...

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...

In 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...
