A short, multiple choice assessment that determines your 3rd graders' ability to correctly compare fractions with like denominators. This quiz asks learners to compare two fractions using words, the greater than/less than symbols, and...

Young mathematicians review the basic operations needed for addition and subtraction of fractions. They review the rules for addition and subtraction of fractions with the same denominator, how to change them if the denominators are...

Students add and subtract fractions with the same denominators. In this fractions lesson plan, students also order common fractions from small to large and use the comparison symbols to compare fractions.

Students investigate the concept of adding fractions with like denominators. They review how to combine the numerators. Students use cutouts to handle fractions that are hands on while comparing them to slices of pizza. They work...

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...

Elementary and secondary learners compare fractions that have uncommon denominators and add and subtract fractions that have common denominators. They practice reducing fractions and getting denominators to be the same so they can add...

Subtracting fractions that have unequal denominators is a tricky process. The lesson utilizes fraction bars as a manipulative, in order to understand subtracting fractions and estimating differences. After completing three activities in...

Working with fractions that have unequal denominators is one of the most difficult concepts for young mathematicians to master. Here you will find a fine lesson that should help youngsters begin to get a grasp on this important...

Using a real-world example, this problem illustrates the thought process that learners need to engage in to understand adding mixed numbers with common denominators. First by looking at estimation, and then by drawing models that...

Young mathematicians compare two fractions with like denominators and then move to the next level to compare fractions with unlike denominators. They will first try to use mental math to make educated guesses. There are a few guidelines...

What was Bryce's mistake? Through analysis of a student work example, learners develop their own ability to compare the fractions one fourth and one half. Central to this activity is the concept that, when comparing fractions, the whole...

Welcome to Fraction City! This is an incredibly interactive and fun way to teach properties of fractions, and reaches multiple learning styles. Scholars create "blocks" by folding strips of paper in various increments (thirds, fourths,...

Fourth graders participate in a lesson that is about the finding of different fractional sizes with the help of pattern blocks. They define the vocabulary terms of numerator and denominator. The lesson also uses geometry and relates it...

Understanding the meaning of fractions is a challenge for many young learners. These two questions examine what happens when the numerator and denominator of a fraction are doubled. Consider allowing students to discuss their ideas...

There's a fine line between a numerator and a denominator! Learners find common denominators in order to add and subtract rational expressions. Examples include addition, subtraction, and complex fractions.

Let's build a castle! Dennis and Cody have big plans, but do they have enough blocks between the two of them to accomplish their goal? A great context that requires students to add and compare mixed numbers. Encourage the use of pictures...

Students add fractions using common denominators. In this algebra lesson, students are given fractions that do not have the same denominators. They are asked to solve the fractions using the same denominator.

Students add fractions with the same denominators. In this algebra lesson, students solve fractions with common denominators. There are ten practice problems to get better at this skill.

Students add fractions with the same denominators. In this algebra lesson plan, students solve fractions with common denominators. There are ten practice problems to get better at this skill.

Students study addition of fractions with like denominators using illustrations and problem solving.

Individuals learn to divide and conquer complex numbers with a little help from moduli and conjugates. In the second lesson on complex number division, the class takes a closer look at the numerator and denominator of the multiplicative...

Pair up your math pals to teach each other about adding and subtracting uncommon denominator fractions! Step-by-step instructions are provided as well as five practice problems. 

Students use candy bars, beef jerky, and brownies to represent different fractions. Students also use colored multi-link cubes or blocks to illustrate the same representations of fractions. Students work with a partner to create diagrams...

Observe fraction numerators and denominators to determine if they are less than or equal to 1/2. In this fractions lesson plan, students simplify fractions and determine their relationship to 1/2.
