Fraction Squares

A learning task that involves creative ways of thinking permits children to use paper models as a way to visualize the fraction one-half. Learners can fold or cut their models in such a way that the unshaded regions, and shaded regions...

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...

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...

Second graders discover how to separate a whole unit into parts. They identify and create fractional parts including thirds, fifths, and sixths. Assessment is provided.

Here is a comparing and ordering fractions learning activity that extends young mathematicians understanding of fractions with like and non-like denominators. By representing and explaining each fraction in a picture or diagram, students...

Focus on halves, thirds, and fourths in these visual fraction activities. Scholars begin by examining a grid with various expressions of the three fractions displayed in the grid squares. They color-code the grid to indicate which...

For this writing fourths worksheet, students observe fraction squares and write the numerator for the shaded part. Students solve twelve problems.

Teach the joys of factoring and introduce prime and square numbers. Upper elementary learners are introduced to these concepts through complete definitions, examples, and practice problems. A variety of strategies, such as factor trees...

Sal beautifully explains what the numerator and denominator represent when identifying them in a fraction. He draws two different pictures to show the relationship between the abstract number and the concrete operation it represents....

When using visual models, it can be difficult for learners to realize that the shape of the pieces doesn't affect the fraction they represent. The third video of this series explains that as long as the whole amount is cut into...
