Learners explore multiplying fractions and their relationship to parts of a whole. They draw and shade fractional parts to show parts of a whole and fractional parts of a fraction. Pupils also use an Internet site for interactive...

Explore fractions with upper graders. They will discover how to show fractions by shading the correct amount shown in a picture (giving them the idea behind part to whole). They also play multiple fraction games using dice, matching...

How many different ways can you represent a whole? In a picture that represents six parts (two of which are shaded), learners are asked to label the parts appropriately to show how three different mathematical interpretations can be...

In this fraction worksheet, learners read about fractions as parts of a whole fraction strip at the top of the page. They write the fractions for each shaded part and each unshaded part of 7 fraction pictures. They shade the indicated...

Visual models are a great tool for demonstrating the concept of equivalent fractions. Given two pictures, young mathematicians first identify each fraction and then write an explanation for why they are equivalent. Use as a guided...

Geometric shapes make great visual models for introducing young mathematicians to the concept of fractions. Looking at a series of four circles, students are asked to determine whether or not one half of each circle is shaded. To support...

An excellent activity that effectively pulls together the concepts of area, fractions, and equivalent fractions! Using 3x2 rectangular arrays, 3rd graders are introduced to the concept of area in terms of square units. Building on this...

Third graders use strips of paper to find equivalent fractions. They will fold paper into thirds and shade 2/3 of the paper. Then fold the same paper in six parts and predict how many parts will be shaded. They will repeat again folding...

Math can be satisfying for the mind and the stomach! Incorporate slices of pizza into your fractions lesson with a set of informative resources. After a brief guided lesson on comparing and ordering fractions, young mathematicians...

Explore equivalent fractions! Youngters measure the crown of their head with adding tape labeled with various fractions and fractional parts, and compare strips to notice numerical relationships. They fold adding tape in half and color...

Mathematicians make representations of fractional parts of a whole and learn that a decimal is another way to represent a fractional part. Understanding is extended by comparing and ordering fractions and decimals on a number line. This...

Fourth graders practice ordering fractions using models and drawings.  For this math model lesson, 4th graders utilize colored blocks and drawings to show an equal representation of given fractions.  Students compare and...

In this elementary math worksheet, 6th graders examine the shaded areas of fraction models in order to determine if the given number sentences are true for the three questions.

Elementary and secondary learners investigate various concepts related to the study of fractions. They use word problems during the introduction to parts of a fraction and proceed to some of the basic operations of using fractions. The...

While just a simple exploration of fractions, this lesson comes with resources to make it a richer experience. Third graders identify fractions, complete worksheets, and use KidPix to make their own fraction pizzas.

Students demonstrate how to solve addition and subtraction of fractions. In this fractions lesson plan, students use folded paper to shade in fractional parts and identify the sum of the parts shaded.

Students recognize coins are worth a fraction of a dollar. They represent the value of different coins by shading in their equivalent fractional parts in the circle. They understand that fractions are part of a whole.

Learners practice identifying fractional parts represented in pictures and phrases. In this fraction activity, students determine the proportion represented by common time and money phrases such as "3 hours in a day". Learners match...

Students explore fractions and define their parts. They define numerator and the denominator and use an apple to model familiar fractions. Using, mini whiteboards, they draw pictures on their white board to describe a given fraction.

Students explore math functions by completing a problem solving worksheet in class. In this division lesson, students utilize visual aides such as marshmallows and candy to visualize the act of division. Students complete a division...

Reinforce the concept of fractions and decimals as part of a whole with a lesson that begins with a mixed review, then goes into a three problem guided practice, and ends with a collaborative activity. The guided practice and activity...

In this mathematics worksheet, students identify a whole number as a combination of two smaller parts. They use counters to help them add various combinations of numbers.

The objective of this activity is to find the percent of the area of a two squares overlapping. Mathematicians find the ratio of area for the part that overlaps to the rectangle formed. The final answer is a percent as a rate per 100....

In this elementary math worksheet, pupils examine the shaded fraction models and compare them to the value given. Then they answer the 3 questions in the multiple choice format.
