In this fractions instructional activity, students solve word problems where they solve problems about parts of whole groups using pictures, charts, and more. Students complete 4 problems.

In this fraction practice worksheet, students examine a shaded fraction visual that describes fractions as parts of whole objects. Students respond to 2 questions about shaded fractions.

Explore the world of fractions by using pattern blocks to show how different shapes can divide a hexagon. Elementary schoolers work in groups to complete these problems and to answer questions. Later, they work complete an independent...

This unit on fractions allows for upper-aged elementary learners to explore ways to find the greatest common factor and least common multiple of two numbers. Ultimately, young mathematicians will be able to identify equivalent fractions,...

An impressive lesson where pupils visualize models and solve problems involving multiplying a whole number times a fraction. Fraction bars are used to help learners truly understand what's happening during this mathematical process. The...

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

Split the work three ways. Learners use their knowledge of fractions to solve problems dealing with splitting up work loads evenly between three groups. Scholars determine the fractional portion of work each group will do along with...

Young learners explore fractions and demonstrate parts of a whole by using a candy bar and a piece of paper and dividing both into equal parts. Included is a worksheet that requires youngsters to color in half of each polygon shape. Some...

Use this math instructional activity to help your fourth graders further their understanding of ordering fractions. After completing some whole-group activities together as a class, pairs of students play an online game which has them...

The commutative property of multiplication applies not only to whole numbers but to fractions as well. Connor and Makayla explore and discuss the idea that 2/3 x 3 is the same as 3 x 2/3. Your 5th grade class will connect with...

Use segmented shapes to introduce scholars to fractions before they even have learned about numerators and denominators (although this is a great way to introduce these terms!). The first section has four multiple-choice problems:...

Here is another way to illustrate division of a whole number by a unit fraction. In this case, the problem is asking if there are so many servings per cup, how many servings are in a package of multiple cups. Learners are to model their...

While examining fractions and ratios, your leaners get to read about one of their favorite subjects: candy! There are four word problems on this worksheet. Learners consider situations in which "for every x caramels there are y...

Introduce the concept of fractions to very young children. They see images of objects cut in half. They then complete a series of activities where they color half of each given image, then cut and paste two halves together to create one...

One of the most common, everyday applications of math is dealing with money. This single problem calculating how much change Margie receives is more involved than it appears at first glance. An understanding of how fractions and decimals...

Explore the application of fractions in a real-life situation. Learners manipulate an interactive simulation to model a given scenario. They find fractions of fractions and explain the importance of the part-to-whole comparison.

Kids complete three different activities to better understand how to identify ratios and then write them in simplest form. Ratios are represented by fraction strips of two different colors. Pupils write what ratio of blue to red is...

Young math whizzes complete the online instruction, then solve 20 problems about identifying decimals, comparing decimals and fractions and ordering decimals.

Second graders become familiar with the fractions in a whole.  In this sheet cake lesson plan, 2nd graders view a Count on it clip about pumpkin pies.  Students cut a sheet cake into eight parts and write as a fraction. ...

First graders create fraction creatures by using 1 inch squares of construction paper. In this fractions lesson plan, 1st graders name the fractions within their whole creatures.

Students add and subtract fractions and mixed numbers with unlike denominators. They "fish" for and solve a number of fraction problems requiring adding, subtracting, finding equivalent fractions, and using mixed numbers.

Students take an Internet field trip to research fractions. ESOL strategies include using pattern block manipulatives and pairing ESOL and non-ESOL students on computers.

Seventh graders multiply and divide fractions. Using the teepee method, 7th graders model fractions as they find solutions to problems. They recognize that "of" means to multiply and explore real life situations when multiplying or...

In this fraction worksheet, students read about fractions, numerators and denominators. They are also shown how a fraction can be depicted as shaded parts of a whole shape. They then solve the 9 problems in which they answer questions...
