Decomposing Fractions Teacher Resources

The next instructional activity in a math series builds off the previous one in which learners estimated fraction amounts using fraction bars. Here, pupils view equivalent fractions with unlike denominators using fraction bars. Lastly,...

Math wizards practice adding fractions with unlike denominators on this simple matching worksheet. Presented with ten addition expressions, children must calculate the sum of each and match them to the correct fraction bar model...

Computing class members encounter use a digital learning tool called The Fraction Bar to multiply fractions with whole numbers. They do so by finding a given fraction of a number either on a number line or by calculating the answer with...

Mixed numbers can be added conceptually, algorithmically, and physically. Have the class visualize mixed numbers by adding fraction bars together. They then discover the algorithmic process that simplifies adding mixed numbers. Finally,...

No more inverting and multiplying to divide fractions. Applying concepts of measurement division from the previous lesson plan, pupils consider partitive division using fraction bars and number lines. They first convert fractions to like...

Use a cool resource for a hot topic. Pupils learn how to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, and vice versa. An interactive helps show how to perform the conversions.

Subtracting fractions that have unequal denominators is a tricky process. The lesson plan utilizes fraction bars as a manipulative, in order to understand subtracting fractions and estimating differences. After completing three...

Fourth graders utilize fraction bar manipulatives to compare a variety of fractions to the fraction value 1/2. Pupils are put into groups, and they begin to see how fractions that look completely different actually represent the same...

Here is a fine lesson on inequalities of fractions for your third graders. After a modeling session by the teacher, pupils are put into groups and are led through a discovery session using fraction bars and inequalities. The lesson...

Here is a lesson on equality of fractions. Learners use fraction bar manipulatives as the lesson goes along to help them visually understand equivalent fractions. The activities described are top-notch, and there is a worksheet embedded...

Here is a activity on equality of fractions designed for fourth graders. Learners work in groups and utilize fraction bars to help them work through a variety of activities. They split up into pairs and play an online game called the...

Here is an excellent lesson plan on solving subtraction word problems using fractions and mixed numbers. Learners complete three activities that will help them to explore and better-understand the world of mixed numbers. Fraction bars...

An impressive lesson where pupils visualize models and solve problems involving multiplying a whole number times a fraction. Fraction bars are used to help learners truly understand what's happening during this mathematical process. The...

The world of fractions is the focus of this math PowerPoint. Young mathematicians are introduced to terms such as: numerator, denominator, equivalent, and fraction bar. Two test preparation slides are included, as well as a slide that...

An excellent activity using word problems where pupils interpret and compute quotients of fractions. The commentary includes using a fraction bar model and equations to represent the problem. In this variation of the resource, the...

After you've introduced fractions to your class, have them check out this highly comprehensive slide-show on equivalent fractions. The fractions 1/1, 2/2, 4/4, and 8/8 are shows as fraction bars so that learners will be able to grasp how...

Before diving into operations with fractions, learners discover the foundation of fractions and how they interact with one another. Exactly as the title says, logic of fractions is the main goal of a resource that shows pupils how...

Tip—start with the inner most nested grouping symbol. The resource provides an explanation of the conventional method in nesting grouping symbols and using parentheses, brackets, and braces. The video provides two examples, one involving...

Could you develop your own way to add fractions with unlike denominators? An in-depth task has scholars examine a fictional conversation between several people in which they discuss a method of adding fractions with unlike denominators....

Students explore why denominators need to match before adding (or subtracting) a fraction. They use unmarked fraction circles and marked fraction bars, to discover a method to add fractions with unlike denominators using equivalent...

In this rational numbers worksheet, 9th graders solve and complete 12 different problems by dividing each equation. First, they use the division rules given at the top of the sheet to determine how they are going to solve each problems....

In this expressions worksheet, 4th graders evaluate 12 expressions for n = 7 and find the total number of hats when x = 12. Students write their answers on the lines provided.

In this order of operations activity, 9th graders solve 10 different equations by applying the order of operations in each. First, they perform any calculations inside the parentheses. Then, students perform all multiplication and...

Learners study how shapes can be divided into equal parts, that each part be equal to its counterpart, and combining parts equals one whole. They make the shapes out of modeling clay and take digital pictures of its parts to create an...
