Reinforce fraction skills with a Christmas-themed math instructional activity. Scholars solve three word problems using fraction circles that represent a holiday pie. 

Bingo! Call out fractions to discover which scholar can accurately identify the fraction shape, and get five in a row first. Halves, thirds, fourths, fifths, sixths, sevenths, eighths, ninths, and tenths are the identifiable fractions on...

Fraction circles are the primary feature of this worksheet for practicing calculating equivalent fractions. It includes 10 practice problems and an answer key, and supports visual interpretation of this...

Subtracting fractions with unlike denominators is the focus of an interactive designed to boost mathematicians' problem-solving skills. Five questions challenge participants to answer multiple-choice and true or false questions with help...

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...

Third graders use strips of paper to find equivalent fractions. They will fold paper into thirds and shade 2/3 of the paper. Then fold the same paper in six parts and predict how many parts will be shaded. They will repeat again folding...

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...

An interactive made up of five questions tests scholars' knowledge of equivalent fractions. Two fraction circles with moveable parts assist mathematicians in finding solutions. Questions are multiple-choice with one discussion. 

Five word-problems challenge mathematicians to add fractions. Interactive fraction circles assist scholars in problem-solving. Question types include multiple-choice, true or false, and a discussion.  

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.

Students name and draw fractions by using their fractions circles. In this rational numbers and fraction lesson plan, students name mixed numbers and improper fractions using their fraction circles.

Here is a good fractions lesson which invites learners to fold paper strips to represent an equivalent fraction to the fraction model using chips or tiles displayed on the overhead. They arrange chips to represent a given fraction.

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...

The Golden Ratio. The Divine Proportion. Yup. It's math and art blended into one colorful activity. Young artists combine colored tissue paper circles and parts of circles to create geometric patterns. As a bonus, kids get to figure out...

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.
