Fraction Squares

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...

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...

Deepen the fractional number sense of young learners with this introductory lesson on equivalent fractions. After completing a short warm-up activity, children go on to work in pairs using fraction circles to complete a table 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...

Which ones are equivalent? Scholars examine four fraction models to determine which ones represent the same fraction. This is a great way to help kids with numerators and denominators, as they can physically count the total number of...

In this beginning fractions worksheet, students solve four problems in which the same geometric figure is divided in half two different ways.

Students study West Virginia quilts. In this mathematics lesson plan, students use symmetry, geometric shapes, and patterns to create their own quilt square.

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...

A cute square-headed robot is here to help your class understand doubling and halving. Numbers go in his head and come out his ear doubled. Those same number then go in his ear and come out his head halved. This is a great way to show...

In order to create some tasty fudge, learners must adapt a recipe. Using a recipe for fudge, ingredients must be correctly converted using fractions. If one fraction is incorrect, the fudge will reveal it! Although you will only make one...
