Young mathematicians may not love fractions, but do they love sandwiches? How about cake? Use this visual fractions activity to represent fractions in a relatable way. Scholars start by coloring segmented shapes to indicate halves and...

Early learners look at the pictures given and color one part to identify if it is 1/2 or 1/4. They then circle the correct fraction that they created.

Young learners read 2 examples of how to write fractions to show how much of a rectangle is shaded. Then students look at  9 diagrams of rectangles that have shaded areas. They write the fractional equivalent. Then they shade 3...

Where is the line of symmetry? Learners begin by drawing in a line to split three images evenly in half, using an example as reference. Encourage them to think about physically folding the picture to solidify this concept. Next, they do...

Drawing lines of symmetry helps scholars understand shape attributes, basic fractions, and equality. They determine how many lines each of these nine shapes has, using an example as reference. Consider having learners cut out a set of...

Young mathematicians explore number values by utilizing food as a visual aide. They discuss the differences between halves, fourths, and eighths and how they are visually represented by a pizza. Then create their own pizza in class and...

Where is the line of symmetry in these shapes? Review this concept using the visual guide at the top of the page, explaining how some shapes have multiples lines. Consider demonstrating this concept with large cut-outs, physically...

In this comprehension instructional activity, students answer short answer and discussion questions for the story The Little Half Chicken. Students complete 13 questions.

In this halves of shapes worksheet, students shade in a half of each of the nine geometric shapes drawn on the page by splitting it into two equal parts.

In this fractions-halves and quarters of shapes activity, students shade in a half or a quarter of each of the 6 different shapes.
