Fraction Circles

Make fractions easier with a visual representation along a number line. There are eight fractions here for scholars to match to their corresponding number lines. Although this is a good idea, the formatting isn't ideal. Ask kids to...

Visual models support young mathematicians as they deepen their fractional number sense in this elementary math lesson. Using fraction circle manipulatives, children explore basic unit fractions as they develop the fundamental...

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.

Each of these fractions has an accompanying number line, segmented only by lines. Scholars match the fractions to the corresponding number line based on how many total segments (denominator) and the line circled (numerator). This...

A number line serves as the medium to display visual fractions as scholars examine two points along its segmented length. The line is split into quarters and scholars determine which fraction is represented by two letters labeled at...

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...

Understanding when to divide by two or one-half can be confusing. Here is an activity that gives four different scenarios. It is up to your number crunchers to decide if they divide by two or one-half. The easiest way to approach the...

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...

Reinforce fraction skills with a Christmas-themed math worksheet. Scholars solve three word problems using fraction circles that represent a holiday pie. 

Arrange improper fractions on a number line to determine the equivalency to whole numbers. The number line starts at -4 and ends at 4, while users must turn the improper fraction into a proper fraction in order to place it on the number...
