Fifth graders need concrete experiences to introduce a unit on multiplying fractions by fractions. A strip of paper is used to create a number line and represent 5/6. It is folded first in half, and then in quarters. After unfolding,...

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...

Let's paint the town equal parts yellow and violet, or simply brown. Pupils calculate the amount of blue and red paint needed to make six quarts of brown paint. Individuals then explain how they determined the percentage of the brown...

This real-life math problem concentrates on developing the understanding of dividing a unit fraction by a whole number. It allows students to draw out a solution to aid their thinking. The well-written answer sheet describes common...

This concise task demonstrates how fraction strips can be used to visualize the multiplication of whole numbers by fractions. Steps are explained for computation, and then a few practice problems follow. This can be useful when first...

In this percent worksheet, students review and study what percent means, what percent strips are, making sense of percents and estimating percents. Students complete ten word problems.

In this inheritance patterns learning exercise, students create a visual of a Zork using chromosome strips to represent alleles from the father and the mother to determine the traits in the offspring. Students translate the genotype to...

Learners change mixed numbers into improper fractions, then divide to determine the quotients. There are 18 equations to solve on this assignment. An answer key can be printed for your grading purposes. Use this as an assessment.

In this fraction worksheet, students first read about how to find equivalent fractions, then find the missing numbers that would make pairs of fractions equivalent. Students then read about and simplify a st of 8 additional fractions.

In this add and subtract fractions instructional activity, students add and subtract fractions with like denominators. Students complete 3 problems.
