Just a Fraction

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...

Divide fractions just like a model does. Pupils visualize the division of a fraction by a whole number by creating models. Scholars make the connection between dividing by a whole number and multiplication before practicing the skill...

Support your young mathematicians' introduction to the world of fractions with this simple printable resource. Offering students a hands-on opportunity for learning how to visually represent fractions, this template would make a nice...

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...

Making banana pudding despite misplacing your one-cup measuring cup is easy as long as you can find your quarter-cup measuring cup! This real-life activity provides a good opportunity for learners to interpret division of a whole number...

Writing a fraction is just another way of writing a division problem. Which means all fractions are then division problems. Fractions can be converted into decimal numbers by dividing the numerator by the denominator. Follow along as the...

Young mathematicians use a bell and hammer to see how high or low the puck goes. Then, they order the fractional values to demonstrate the greatest to lowest hit. Students then respond to several questions that require them to use...

Second, third, and fourth graders explore fraction strategies and division by splitting sets of farm animals into equal numbers. Independently, they read word problems, solve them, and check their answers.
