Students, using a map, drawing or aerial view of a pond, represent the shape of the pond using simple geometric shapes or fractions of those shapes. They identify the numerator and denominator in each fraction created.

Upper graders explore fractions to determine a fractional part of a whole. They are given 30 pieces of popcorn and asked to divide it into halves, thirds, etc. Students practice representing the popcorn groups as a numerator and...

Observe fraction numerators and denominators to determine if they are less than or equal to 1/2. In this fractions lesson plan, students simplify fractions and determine their relationship to 1/2.

Ordering numbers just got physical! Learners practice putting numbers in sequence, both in fraction and decimal form. To begin, they line up in birthday order and discuss the difference between ascending and descending. They are then...

Follow along with RJ from the Study Jams! crew as he walks step-by-step through the process for comparing fractions with unlike denominators. Starting with finding the least common denominator, the presentation goes on to demonstrate how...

The square root of five and five do not have the same value! How many times have you addressed this with math classes? A lesson gives an explanation of a square root and gives examples for simplifying square root...

Two Cyberchase videos inspire elementary mathematicians to understand fractions. Worksheets are provided to walk viewers through the concepts taught in the videos. You can't go wrong when using educational cartoons such as these! They...

Mathematicians answer five questions about percents, ratios, and proportions with help from an interactive graduated cylinder. Question types include multiple-choice, fill-in-the-blank, and discussion. 

Watch scholars' understanding of fractions bloom. The resource presents a performance task where the fractions are equal parts from the same whole, and mathematicians must use them to solve problems about a grade level garden. Teachers...

For this fractions and decimals worksheet, 6th graders solve and complete 24 different types of problems. First, they write each fraction as a decimal and use repeating decimals when necessary. Then, students write each decimal as a...

Students multiply and divide fractions. In this math lesson, students are given explicit visual instruction of how to work with fractions. Intended for learning disabled students, the teacher demonstrates how to manipulate the numbers by...

All of these fraction pairs have common denominators, so adding them up is a bit simpler. There are two examples demonstrating both a mixed number and reducing to simplest terms. Scholars add up 28 fraction pairs, simplifying when...

Kids learn how to add fractions that have a common denominator. They go over both the correct and incorrect way to add fractions together, discuss which way is wrong and which is right, then complete a series of practice problems. Mixed...

Subtracting fractions with unlike denominators can be overwhelming, but in this task, 5th graders work systematically to break down the procedure through three questions. The first two questions ask for pictures to be drawn along...

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.

In this fractions worksheet, 6th graders solve and complete 7 different problems that include fractions. First, they identify and complete the denominator for the unit fractions in each of the squares shown on the sheet. Then, students...

Students explore fractions. In this fraction lesson, students play an interactive game and use manipulatives to practice working with fractions.

Show examples of fractions in the real world to help scholars grasp this complex concept. Because there is only one word problem here with an answer detailed below, this is ideal as an all-class warm up. Learners examine an image of a...

There is a lot to learn about fractions, and this is a fun way to do it! Individuals participate in a Cyberchase activity to describe a fraction in terms of sharing parts of a whole. They determine the meaning of the parts of a fraction,...

Fun with fractions! Fourth graders practice substituting and reducing fractions. The problems contain blank spaces and become more challenging as the activity progresses. Use this as a building block in your fractions lesson.

What was Bryce's mistake? Through analysis of a student work example, learners develop their own ability to compare the fractions one fourth and one half. Central to this activity is the concept that, when comparing fractions, the whole...

Where do those asymptotes come from? Learners graph, simplify, and solve rational functions in the fifth module of a 10-part series. Beginning with graphing, pupils determine the key characteristics of the graphs including an in-depth...

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...

Learn how to identify equivalent fractions by using divisors. After reading and discussing the skill, young mathematicians solve two problems using visual fraction models, and then solve eight equivalent fraction problems...
