Flag Fractions

Young mathematicians demonstrate their understanding of fractions and decimals as they investigate the flags of nations from around the world. Using the 10x10 grid provided on the accompanying worksheet, young scholars draw a country's...

Prompt third graders to understand and use fractions with a complete performance task. As they look at colored stripes on different country flags, learners determine the fractional amount each stripe represents in the flag as a whole....

Young mathematicians demonstrate their ability to subtract mixed numbers by completing this collection of fraction word problems. From figuring out the weight of objects in a package, to finding the difference in height between two...

In this solving word problems with fractions worksheet, students observe national flags from different countries and solve fraction problems about the colors in the flags. Students solve five word problems.

Students investigate fractions while adding and subtracting mixed numbers. They discuss how to add and subtract mixed numbers and they practice working with mixed numbers. They complete a worksheet while working with mixed numbers.

In this problem solving learning exercise, students read and solve 4 mathematical word problems involving the height and width of objects, estimation and fractions.

Fifth graders apply the symmetry and angle properties of polygons and use fractions to express the relationships between the areas of rectangles, squares, and triangles. They analyze various country flags and develop mathematical...

Students research flag designs and their geometric configurations. They design their own fraction flag and utilize the concepts of measurement, geometry and fractions to their designs. Each student attaches a craft stick or short dowel...

Students explore the whole/part relationship between a numerator and a denominator. In this fractions activity, the students determine the fractional parts represented by each color within a random handful of jellybeans. Results are...

Students examine the use of signal flags on vessels. They use measurements and symmetry to create their very own signal flag. Students work together and as individuals to solve problems and express their ideas.
