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...

Have young mathematicians subtracting fractions in no time with this manipulative-based math lesson. Using their sets of fraction circles, young scholars explore a number of word problems involving the subtraction of fractions before...

Young mathematicians compare two fractions with like denominators and then move to the next level to compare fractions with unlike denominators. They will first try to use mental math to make educated guesses. There are a few guidelines...

Comparing fractions is the focus of a five-question interactive in which mathematicians use oranges to answer real-world multiple-choice, true or false, and discussion questions. 

Develop young mathematicians' ability to compare fractions with investigation into the number 1/2. After brainstorming a list of fractions equivalent to 1/2, children identify a pattern in the numerators and...

Fourth graders practice ordering fractions using models and drawings.  In this math model instructional activity, 4th graders utilize colored blocks and drawings to show an equal representation of given fractions.  Students...

Fourth graders receive a fraction circle and show how each different part makes a whole. Students compare the different fractions that make up a whole. Students choose 2 fractions which are inside a bucket and they compare them both...

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...

Young scholars use the colors in their fraction circles to answer short answer questions about fractions. In this fractions lesson plan, students count the colors of their fraction circles and add them together to make fractions.

Your learners will enjoy thoroughly understanding fractions, and you will appreciate the abundant, quality resources in this comprehensive unit that builds toward a complete understanding of the concept of fractions as numbers. Many...

Add and subtract fractions with common denominators! In this fractions instructional activity, upper graders review what they already know about fractions, use manipulatives to compare fractions, and add and subtract fractions.

Kids will compare creating fractions from pieces of paper to chips. They begin with a fractional part and work back to a whole. Then order fractions from smallest to largest. They also complete a worksheet to find the missing pieces to...

Define rays and half planes, including the concepts of boundary lines and prerequisite knowledge of coordinate planes. Given linear inequalities in one and two variables, your class will compare the differences. They will also graph...

Students use fraction circles to observe fractions in smaller parts and to complete charting and word problem activities. In this fraction lesson plan, students complete chart problems, word problems, and fraction comparing problems...

For this circle activity, students find the area and circumference of circles and compare their size using percents. Students determine the are of composite figures made of circles and rectangles. This one-page activity contains six...

Students demonstrate fraction symbols. In this fractions lesson, students use paper strips to represent various fractions. Students then use fraction circles to compare various given fractions.

The first of two pages displays various angles as the measure of degrees of a circular arc. An explanation is written, and learners are asked to model each by holding up two pencils as the rays. The second page provides instruction on...

Test scholars mathematic skills with an assessment addressing addition, subtraction, multiplication, place value, measurement, geometric shapes, expanded notation; and their ability to compare numbers, write number...

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...

Explore rational numbers with the young mathematicians in your class. They will investigate decimals, fractions, and percents before ordering and comparing rational numbers. This multi-day unit includes differentiation activities and...

Straight from the pages of a math textbook, this three-lesson series introduces young mathematicians to the world of integers. Starting with a definition of integers and their applications in the real world, this resource goes on to...

Fourth graders compare and order fractions in a fraction game activity. In this fraction game lesson plan, 4th graders play a game that requires them to add fractions with like denominators and compare fractions. Students create posters...
