Fractions of a Band
Third graders investigate fractions. For this time lesson, 3rd graders determine the amount of time it takes to perform certain tasks.
Curated OER
Comparing Fractions
Third graders observe two fractions and write the numbers in order from least to greatest referring to the sheet with different fractions they have before them to help them decide which one is smaller. Time allowing, they practice...
