Unit Fractions Teacher Resources

Two Cyberchase videos inspire elementary mathematicians to understand fractions. Worksheets are provided to walk viewers through the concepts taught in the videos. You can't go wrong when using educational cartoons such as these! They...

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...

Make learning visible! Have your mathematicians follow along as you use paper strips to demonstrate the concept of multiplying unit fractions. Then, offer a different way of solving the problem using a number line. Finally, introduce the...

In this finding the unit fractions of numbers learning exercise, students divide to find fractions of whole numbers, find the missing numbers, use calculators to solve, and solve a word problem. Students solve 45 problems.

In this unit fractions worksheet, students find 1/9, 1/6, or 1/7 of a certain number using units drawn out for them. They do this for three problems.

For this unit/fractions worksheet, students find unit fractions of given numbers, then use a code grid to find a secret code word.

In this unit fractions worksheet, 2nd graders utilize fraction strips to determine if 4 unit fractions being compared should be separated by the signs < or >.

In this fractions of numbers activity, students use their knowledge of division to solve unit fractions of numbers and then complete a calculator fraction challenge section. A reference website is given for additional activities.

In this unit fractions activity, students solve the six word problems using the parts and wholes for each problem to help find the fraction number.

Three heads are better than one. After reading a conversation between three friends about how to compare fractions, scholars analyze and discuss each presented strategy. These include using unit fractions, using benchmark fractions,...

In this finding of the fractions of whole numbers worksheet, learners use fraction strips to divide the numerals into equal parts and complete the number sentences. Students solve three problems.

A set of worksheets prompts learners to practice solving fraction-based word problems. Each problem involves the division of whole numbers by unit fractions. As they work, mathematicians begin to see how division relates...

What is an Egyptian Fraction? Print this sheet as a bell-ringer activity. Budding mathematicians solve three short answer problems. They write three fractions as unit fractions so that the numerator is one and the sum is equal to the...

First, add each set of fractions with unlike denominators. Then, compare their sums with the symbols <, >, or =. 

First graders explore non-unit fractions. They discuss the parts of fractions and identify the numerator and the denominator. They discuss various examples of fractions. Students write fractions that are equivalent to the ones written by...

First-time fraction fiends make paper-folding models for unit and non-unit fractions. They follow teacher-led directions to make models that show  2, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 12 equal parts. An array of fraction review worksheets are...

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...

You don't have to be an ancient Egyptian to decipher fractions in this activity that focuses on adding fractions with unlike denominators and developing fraction number sense. Egyptians represented fractions differently than we do. They...

Extend your class's ability to represent unit fractions on a number line with this challenging worksheet. Given two number lines, one labeled with zero and 1/4, the other with zero and 5/3, students must accurately locate the number one...

This short problem with representing fractions on a number line is more than meets the eye. Labeled only with the numbers zero and 1/4, a number line is used to locate the fraction 2/3. A solution can be found in multiple ways, but young...

In this fractions worksheet, 6th graders solve and complete 7 different problems that include fractions. First, they identify and complete the denominator for the unit fractions in each of the squares shown on the sheet. Then, students...

Sometimes you only need part of the whole. Viewers of a short video learn how to determine fractions of amounts, such as 3/4 of 20. The video starts with more familiar unit fractions and then progresses to non-unit fractions. The...

First, math majors compare the multiplication and division of unit fractions and whole numbers. They look for patterns, and then apply their knowledge to an array of multiplication and division problems, all involving fractions and...
