Eight Eighths Make a Roll

Jump into equivalent fractions using these fun scenarios for mathematicians to solve. First, they use geoboards to find different ways to divide a rectangle in half. Then, an alien from the planet Fractional is after one half of their...

Invite your class to demonstrate their fraction knowledge using this fraction squares printable that shows a whole divided into halves, thirds, fourths, fifths, sixths, eighths, tenths, twelfths, and sixteenths.

Reinforce the concept of comparing fractions with a hands-on, two-player game that calls for a visual model, score board, and dice. Players roll dice to acquire their given fraction, create the fraction using fraction tiles, then compare...

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...

In this problem solving worksheet, students problems solve the answers to 5 mathematical word problems involving fractional parts. Students use data from a pictograph to assist them in solving each word problem.

Young mathematicians utilize video, the internet, and hands-on learning experiences in order to recognize that fractions aren't as "scary" as they first appear, and that we use them every day in our lives. The hands-on activities in this...

Learn about life in the Arctic while practicing how to graph and interpret data with this interdisciplinary lesson. Starting with a whole group data-gathering exercise, students are then given a worksheet on which they analyze and create...

Cooperative groups are formed for this graphing activity. Each group must construct a graph that represents how many eyelets (the holes for laces in shoes), are present in their group. A whole-class bar graph is eventually constructed...

Students explore graphing. In this graphing instructional activity, students predict how many shoe eyelets are present in the classroom. Students count eyelets and work in groups to organize and chart the data collected. Students put all...

Fourth graders examine the use of stem and leaf graphs. In this stem and leaf graph lesson, 4th graders participate in teacher led lesson showing the use of the graphs. They work in groups to collect data about peanuts before making a...
