Visual models are excellent teaching tools when explaining equivalent fractions. Looking at a rectangle cut into twelfths, learners first identify the shaded fraction, and then explain whether the fraction is equal to one-fourth....

Help mathematicians convert fractions to decimals and vice versa through these exercise sets. First, they write out nine fractions as decimals. This is really a practice in place value, as all the denominators here are 10. One of them...

In this subtracting fractions worksheet, students solve 18 different problems that include subtracting various types of fractions. First, they find the least common multiple of both numbers. Then, students rewrite the fractions as...

An excellent activity that effectively pulls together the concepts of area, fractions, and equivalent fractions! Using 3x2 rectangular arrays, 3rd graders are introduced to the concept of area in terms of square units. Building on this...

Learn how to identify equivalent fractions by using divisors. After reading and discussing the skill, young mathematicians solve two problems using visual fraction models, and then solve eight equivalent fraction problems...

Visual models support young mathematicians as they deepen their fractional number sense in this elementary math lesson. Using fraction circle manipulatives, children explore basic unit fractions as they develop the fundamental...

Cut it up into parts and make fractions. The short video provides a definition of fractions as being a representation of parts of a whole. Using drawings, the presentation shows how to determine the bottom and top numbers for a fraction...

Young learners read 2 examples of how to write fractions to show how much of a rectangle is shaded. Then learners look at  9 diagrams of rectangles that have shaded areas. They write the fractional equivalent. Then they shade 3...

Whether used to introduce learners to fractions or as a comprehension assessment, this two-part, cross-curricular worksheet will give readers a chance to test their understanding of fractions.

Introduce comparing fractions with a instructional activity containing visual models. Young mathematicians must first identify the part being described in each model and then write greater than, less than, or equal to. Learners prepare...

In this math worksheet, students subtract and add fractions with unlike denominators. Students solve the problem in steps. They are given examples of how to solve the problems.

Elementary mathematicians begin by reading a one-page text that explains how to compare fractions. They solve two problems in which they must circle equal fractions in a set. They then solve four problems where a set of five fractions is...

Before diving into operations with fractions, learners discover the foundation of fractions and how they interact with one another. Exactly as the title says, logic of fractions is the main goal of a resource that shows pupils how...

It's a snow day, and two brothers attending schools with different schedules each got a late start to the day. But who had the shorter school day? That's what your class will find out as they apply their knowledge of fractions to this...

With this packet, kids are introduced to fractional concepts by completing 10 pages of exercises. They learn equal and unequal parts, shading fractions, looking at pictures to determine fractions, finding equivalent fractions and finding...

Voila! Young mathematicians become magicians as they turn fractions into decimals and decimals into fractions. They reference examples before completing 37 transformations on their own. The first 16 are fractions with a denominator of...

If you're working on a fraction unit, this resource could be a great way to assess student learning or to extend your lesson on equivalent fractions. Once they have filled in the missing number in each pair of fractions, youngsters work...

Useful as a speed math test or a homework assignment, this resource on equivalent fractions is sure to challenge your young learners. Thirty pairs of fractions prompt pupils to fill in the missing numerators and denominators to make each...

There are two parts to this fractions drill. Each of the first 32 fractions can be written in simpler terms, and scholars get some guidance as they are given either the denominator or numerator of the equivalent fraction. Review this by...

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...

Trying to get your class to think of decimals as fractions and vice versa can lead to interesting discussions. After all, we can usually understand quickly that 1/4 is .25 but why is 1/7 not so easy to convert? This activity looks...

Show examples of fractions in the real world to help scholars grasp this complex concept. Because there is only one word problem here with an answer detailed below, this is ideal as an all-class warm up. Learners examine an image of a...

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...

Explore fractions visually through segmented shapes. Scholars examine sets of shapes and shade in the given fraction. Each shape is divided into the same number of segments as the denominator of the desired fraction, so beginners aren't...
