In this fractions activity, students use the shaded figures and write fractions based on the shaded area to the whole area. Students also learn how to draw pie models. Students divide the circle into fractions and color the right amount...

In this fraction activity, 3rd graders color in fraction strips to model each of 9 fractions that have 5 as a denominator. They color or shade fraction strips; coloring similar fractions in different ways.

Students practice ordering fractions. In this fractions instructional activity, students determine how to tell when a fraction is close to 1, 1/2 and other various fractions. Students use benchmarks to order fractions.

Explore different representations of numbers. Scholars convert between fractions, decimals, and percents, and then use these conversions to plot the values on a horizontal number line.

Discover the concept of fractions by using fruit as a model. Scholars discover fractions are part of a whole, similar to the pieces of fruit which are placed in front of them. They then cut up several different types of fruit and discuss...

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...

In this third of a twelve-part series, the focus moves from using matrices to solving systems of equations with substitution and elimination, including more than two dimensions and variables in equations, and analyzing statistical data....

Fourth graders explore the meaning of equivalent fractions, find equivalent fractions, and explain why the fractions are equal. They share their ideas about equivalent fractions. Students answer the question: "What makes equivalent...

Third graders explore number values by participating in class math activities. In this fractions lesson, 3rd graders collaborate with classmates to discuss the technique of adding mix numbers while utilizing paper plates to help...

Leanrers observe models of fractions and use a calculator to represent numbers as decimals, fractions, and percents. They participate in calculator activities to view different representations of the same number.

Third graders describe, represent and compare fractions using pieces of a chocolate bar.  In this fractions lesson, 3rd graders demonstrate how to read and write fractions correctly. Students then integrate technology by using...

Students observe and demonstrate a variety of activities to identify the fraction parts and the symbols they represent. As a class they explore different fractions using unifix cubes, then use the cubes to build and discuss the...

Sixth graders examine mathematical problems that deal with he division of fractions. Sticky notes are used to model the process.

In this math worksheet, students illustrate 9 given fractions by coloring or shading boxes. All denominators are fifths on this page. There are no examples.

For this fractions worksheet, students draw lines on figures to show 1/2, 1/3, and 1/4. Worksheet is part of a subscription site with links and is labeled as a sample.

Which ones are equivalent? Scholars examine four fraction models to determine which ones represent the same fraction. This is a great way to help kids with numerators and denominators, as they can physically count the total number of...

Students work together to build models of prairie plants. Using the model, they estimate the height and then measure them using metric and standard units. They write a fraction to represent their part of the whole set and compare and...

Students determine the common denominator of two unlike fractions. They practice adding fractions and finding equivalent fractions of numbers. They compare and contrast different types of equations involving fractions and construct...

Fifth and sixth graders use food and candy to help them represent division of fractions and develop algorithms to solve fraction problems. They discuss dividing whole numbers by fractions. Pupils use sticks and chocolate bars to...

Students are read a book and discuss what is meant by different fractions. Using the internet, they practice converting fractions into decimals. In groups, they create their own line fraction after watching a demonstration by the teacher.

The Egyptians used unit fractions to describe all other fractions. Your class will rewrite rational expressions in order to deduce information about rational numbers. The activity starts with specific fractions, guides you through a few...

Learners complete word problems about ratios using fractions, money, and more. Pupils complete four problems.
