"Visual Fractions" Game

Visual models support young mathematicians with exploring equivalent fractions. Starting with a quick warm-up problem, children go on to work through a series of guiding practice problems before working with a partner identifying and...

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...

Piece by piece young scholars build a basic understanding of fractions in a Common Core-designed elementary math activity. Through a series of hands-on activities and journaling exercises, and with the help of multiple online resources,...

How many different ways can you represent a whole? In a picture that represents six parts (two of which are shaded), learners are asked to label the parts appropriately to show how three different mathematical interpretations can be...

Visual models are excellent teaching tools when explaining equivalent fractions. Looking at a rectangle cut into twelfths, young scholars first identify the shaded fraction, and then explain whether the fraction is equal to one-fourth....

Piece by piece young mathematicians develop their fractional number sense with the help of these printable manipulatives. Offering seven different strips representing the basic unit fractions, these tools provide tremendous visual and...

Geometric shapes make great visual models for introducing young mathematicians to the concept of fractions. Looking at a series of four circles, students are asked to determine whether or not one half of each circle is shaded. To support...

Learning how to visualize is an important step in the growth of young mathematicians. The first video in this two-part series helps learners develop this ability by using visual models to explain multiplication of fractions by whole...

Scholars create colorful bar, line, or pie graphs. They decide on a survey question to ask or a type of data to gather. From there, they collect information and data. They display this data in bar, line, or pie graphs that they create...

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...
