Understanding Visual Fractions
There is one visual fraction question here with an answer detailed below; consider projecting this as an all-class warm up, covering up the bottom until the class has offered their thoughts. Learners assess four fraction models to...

Understanding Visual Fractions
Each of these sets of squares represents a fraction: Can your scholars match them correctly to the numeric fraction list? This may be a good way to show learners numerators and denominators, as they will see them in the fractions and...

Understanding Visual Fractions
Visualize fractions using segmented shapes. The five shapes here are each divided into equal parts, with some parts shaded. Mathematicians match the shapes to the fraction represented by the shaded region. This is a good way to introduce...

Represent Mixed Numbers on a Number Line
See fractions visually with these eight images, each of which has a matching numerical fraction. The images have a row of objects representing the numerator and denominator. This is a nice way to show what a fraction actually means.

Understanding Visual Fractions
These shapes give scholars an excellent chance to see numerators and denominators in a visual way. They examine segmented shapes with portions colored in, determining what fraction the shaded section represents. For some problems, there...

Comparing Fractions and Equivalence
Which fraction is greater than? Less than? There are 10 problems here that give scholars a visual approach to comparing fractions. They start by writing the fractions represented in a shaded shape. Then, they begin comparing visual...

Understanding Visual Fractions
Learners can actually see the numerators and denominators as they examine three segmented shapes. For each, they must write a fraction representing the shaded regions of the shape. Only one of these can be simplified, so decide whether...

Recognizing Equivalent Fractions
Project this visual fraction problem for the entire class, covering up the explanation below. Learners examine two rectangles segmented into equal parts, each with part shaded. They convert each into fractions and reduce to lowest terms...

Comparing Fractions with Like Numerators or Denominators
Two visual problems give mathematicians a chance to compare fractions with like denominators. They examine two pairs of shapes with portions filled in, adding the greater than, less than, or equal to symbol between each. The shape pairs...

Understanding Visual Fractions
Fractions should be visual for beginners; give scholars a few different approaches through these five problems. First, they examine two shapes with shaded sections, writing a fraction to represent the shaded portion. Next, mathematicians...

Understanding Visual Fractions
Using fractions as their artistic guide, learners color in parts of five shape images. Each image is segmented based on the denominator, so scholars simply need to apply the numerator to know how much to color. None of these are mixed...
