Students study the concept of equivalent fractions using naming concepts.

In this equivalent fractions worksheet, students shade the pie parts that the first fraction shows and shade the same amount of pie in the second picture. Students then write the second fraction. Students then write fractions that have...

In this fraction worksheet, 5th graders answer three multiple choice questions. They choose the answers to 3 questions that ask which of the four models is equivalent to 1/2, 2/3, and 2/10.

If your math magicians have mastered adding and subtracting with uncommon denominators, here is a challenge: subtract mixed numbers with uncommon denominators. The values are pretty easy to work with, so this would be appropriate for...

In this beginning fractions worksheet, students complete an activity at home with a parent in which five different foods are divided into portions indicated on the worksheet and then eaten.

Young scholars experiment with straight edges and compasses to divide lengths into equal parts. They identify different fractions of the total length.

Students are introduced to mixed expressions and complex fractions. They work through several problems with the instructor and then complete a worksheet.

In this fractions worksheet, students read an instruction sheet on the procedure for multiplying simple fractions. All steps are illustrated. There are no problems to solve.

Fifth graders participate in a teacher-led discussion about fractions and simplifying them. The students use the manipulative of a pie to demonstrate different fractional parts and equivalent fractions.

In this shading fractions worksheet, students study the various shapes and shade 1/4 of each shape. Students complete 15 problems.

Mixed numbers can be added conceptually, algorithmically, and physically. Have the class visualize mixed numbers by adding fraction bars together. They then discover the algorithmic process that simplifies adding mixed numbers. Finally,...
