The next lesson 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,...

Reinforce the concept of comparing fractions with a hands-on, two-player game that calls for a visual model, score board, and dice. Players roll dice to acquire their given fraction, create the fraction using fraction tiles, then...

Here is a comparing and ordering fractions learning activity that extends young mathematicians understanding of fractions with like and non-like denominators. By representing and explaining each fraction in a picture or diagram, students...

Fourth graders compare and order fractions. In this comparing and ordering fractions lesson, 4th graders make fraction strips from construction paper but pretend that they are candy bars. They use the strips to compare and order...

What are fractions? Find out using a reference page and video that goes in depth on how to make fractions equivalent, write fractions in simplest form, convert improper fractions into mixed numbers, and vice versa. Following...

Five questions make up an interactive all about percents and fractions. Mathematicians answer multiple-choice and fill in the blank problems with help from a tool that converts percents to fractions using a sliding bar. An open...

If you have The Hershey Chocolate Candy Bar book, reading it makes an alluring anticipatory activity for a lesson on fractions. Learners use paper cutouts to consider the concept of thirds. The lesson concludes with a Bingo-style...

Fourth graders explore fractions. They compare different fractions using fraction bars. Students find equivalent fractions and they use fraction bars to visualize addition of fractions.

Young scholars use a Hersey bar to help them practice with fractions. The teacher gives a fraction and they are to create it with the chocolate bars.

Mixed numbers are the focus of a five-question interactive. Scholars move fraction pieces into strips and equations to find solutions. Questions challenge participants with multiple-choice, a true or false, and one discussion.

Young scholars identify the rule of thirds and use it when taking photos. In this photography lesson, students discuss dynamic photography and find example images from various sources. Young scholars discuss the rule of thirds and...

Fifth graders make the connections using models between multiplying a fraction times a whole number and multiplying a fraction times a fraction. After completing three teacher-led activities, pupils access a website on their own to play...

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

After your math classes have been introduced to fractions (especially those with denominators of two, four, and eight), introduce them to fractions on a number line with this lesson. Using a meter length of tape, show your class where...

Students use their knowledge of fractions to decipher word puzzles. In this fraction lesson, students use common fractional parts to divide words into the letters needed to make a new word. They complete 28 examples to find a clue that...

Students listen to various books about sharing food or food fractions. Then they discuss their fraction feast, examining the food and deciding how it can be shared to make fractions.

Third graders construct fraction strips to play several math games. Using different colored construction paper, they assemble the strips and play Order the Fractions and Fraction War. With a pair of dice, 3rd graders roll fractions...

Young scientists must put their math caps on and figure out what fraction of each flower is in a raised flower bed. They must problem solve to simplify the fractions, and then graph the amount of flowers that are in different flower beds.

Create models to demonstrate multiplication and division of fractions. Using fraction tiles to model fractions, pupils explore fractions on a ruler and use pattern blocks to multiply and divide. They also create number lines with fractions.

Twelve chapters cover a multitude of math concepts found in the Common Core standards for sixth grade. Each title provides a brief explanation of what you will find inside the chapter—concepts from which you can click on and learn more...

Fractions can be tricky. Why not have kids think of fractions like they think of eighth, quarter, and half notes? In teams, the class creates four-measure patterns with their percussion instruments. They need to explain their rhythm...

Sixth graders inspect M&M's to complete statistical data. Students interpret percent of colors represented. They convert data from decimals, fractions, and percents. Using the data, 6th graders create a bar graph and a circle graph.

Ever wonder how long a pair of scissors are? Find out with this simple measuring activity in which pupils use the provided ruler to determine the length of four common classroom supplies.
