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...

In this comparing fractions practice worksheet, students sharpen their problem solving skills as they solve 6 story problems that require them to compare fractions.

Modelling fractions through shapes is a great way to demonstrate this concept to beginners. Learners examine 12 shapes, each divided into an even number of equal segments (up to 16 parts). They shade in half of each shape by shading half...

There are 33 fractions here, and all of them need to be changed...yet stay the same. Scholars convert improper fractions to mixed numbers and vice versa. Some of the mixed numbers require canceling, which the example demonstrates well....

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...

Sixth graders can gain practice identifying equivalent fractions using this instructional activity. This instructional activity lists word problems which students have to solve to identify equivalent fractions.

In this ratios instructional activity, students solve 22 problems in which equivalent ratios are found or ratios are expressed in simplest form.

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...

The next lesson in a math series builds off the previous one in which learners estimated fraction amounts using fraction bars. Here, pupils view equivalent fractions with unlike denominators using fraction bars. Lastly,...

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...

Math can be satisfying for the mind and the stomach! Incorporate slices of pizza into your fractions lesson with a set of informative resources. After a brief guided lesson on comparing and ordering fractions, young mathematicians...

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...

In this fractions worksheet, students solve and complete 20 different problems that include adding and subtracting various fractions. First, they use the given equivalents to add and subtract the first row of fractions. Then, students...

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

Mix things up a little to be improper. The presenter shows three example of changing a mixed number to an equivalent improper fraction. Scholars work several practice problems and application questions to refine the process.

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...

Young mathematicians will be excited to practice reducing fractions to lowest terms with this worksheet, which reveals a secret image after all their work has been completed!

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...

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...

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...

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...

Visual learners will benefit from this approach to teaching equivalent fractions, completing problems in multiple steps to observe the process more clearly. They complete eight problems.
