Middle schoolers identify proper, improper fractions, and mixed numbers.  They reduce fractions to their lowest terms. They add and subtract fractions with different denominators, and multiply and divide fractions, as well as...

Upper graders are introduced to the topic of fractions and percentages. In groups, they discuss real world situations in which fractions are present, and they complete a worksheet solving problems with common and uncommon denominators....

Elementary schoolers generate and manipulate fractions. They review equivalent fractions and use an analog clock to create and add fractions. Pupils work in groups to complete two fraction worksheets.

Help your fourth graders make cents out of fractions and decimals with this short word problem. After learning that dimes are one-tenth and pennies one-hundredth of a dollar, students write a fraction and decimal for a given number...

You can never have enough cookies, but do you have enough ingredients? This activity allows your bakers to discover how many batches of cookies they can make with the ingredients provided. Also useable as an independent assignment, your...

Students determine the common denominator of two unlike fractions. They practice adding fractions and finding equivalent fractions of numbers. They compare and contrast different types of equations involving fractions and construct...

Your future chefs will appreciate this comprehensive lesson where learners practice operations on fractions using pizza and soup analogies. Learners begin with a pizza analogy that requires the learners to multiply a whole...

In this math worksheet, students compute with fractions. Five of the problems involve common denominators. Four of the problems require students to first find the common denominator. Six problems are multiple choice. One problem involves...

Seventh graders practice measuring skills as they add mixed fractions. In this fractions lesson, 7th graders measure the distance from their wrist to the tip of their finger, record the measurement, and repeat this procedure with other...

Learning to add fractions with different denominators presents a big hurdle for many young mathematicians. Simplify the process for learners with this series of practice problems involving the friendly fractions tenths and hundredths....

Students investigate fractions through interactive videos and hands-on activities and class made models.

Investigate the concepts of fractions and integers in order to review for a future assessment. The teacher reviews the major concepts with the class and provides help throughout the lesson as needed. Math students work together in small...

Young scholars add and subtract fractions and mixed numbers with unlike denominators. They "fish" for and solve a number of fraction problems requiring adding, subtracting, finding equivalent fractions, and using mixed numbers.

Pair up your math pals to teach each other about adding and subtracting uncommon denominator fractions! Step-by-step instructions are provided as well as five practice problems. 

Students explore why denominators need to match before adding (or subtracting) a fraction. They use unmarked fraction circles and marked fraction bars, to discover a method to add fractions with unlike denominators using equivalent...

Elementary and secondary learners compare fractions that have uncommon denominators and add and subtract fractions that have common denominators. They practice reducing fractions and getting denominators to be the same so they can add...

Students add fractions with unlike denominators. In this algebra instructional activity, students add fractions after finding a common denominator. They review rules for having common denominators.

Students add fractions using common denominators. In this algebra lesson, students are given fractions that do not have the same denominators. They are asked to solve the fractions using the same denominator.

The LCM will be your new BFF. Learners review least common multiple and least common denominator applications, mostly on fractions, from middle school. Scholars then see how the LCM can be applied to various types of problems from...

Fifth graders practice using the English measuring system by creating fractions.  In this parts of a whole lesson, 5th graders combine math key bars to simulate small parts of a bigger item.  Students combine the pieces to...

Students use Cuisenaire rods to explore common denominators. In this fractions lesson, students build Cuisenaire representations of fractions, then find their equivalent counterparts to find the common denominator.

Pupils read different scenarios and discuss how to add fractions. in this addition of fractions lesson plan, students learn how to add unlike fractions and practice 4 problems.

Seventh graders add and subtract fractions with like and unlike denominators. After discussing the use of fractions in the real world, 7th graders work problems and draw models representing each problem. They observe subtracting...

Students use several examples to create a method for adding and subtracting fractions with unlike denominators. They present these methods to the class and then practice applying methods to sample problems.
