Students complete activities to learn how to add fractions. In this fractions lesson, students complete a set of prior knowledge questions for fractions. Students then review fraction vocabulary while solving a fraction word problem.

Learners calculate equivalent fractions, solve the addition of fractions of like and unlike denominators, and compare fractions using fraction strips. They fold paper strips into equal parts, thirds, sixths, ninths, and twelfths, and...

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...

Get a handle on equivalent fractions through the use of manipulatives. Using area models, sets, and length manipulatives like fraction strips and Cuisenaire rods, the class will gain a deeper understanding of equivalent fractions....

Explore fractions using different manipulatives and illustrations. Your class can create a variety of models of fractions and mixed numbers with drawings and manipulatives. They then work to compare fractions, mixed numbers, and whole...

Who doesn't love cookies? In this lesson, learners follow a recipe to make cookies, practicing their ability to compare fractions as they go. This is a wonderful way to motivate your class to practice this important skill.

Which ones are equivalent? Scholars examine four fraction models to determine which ones represent the same fraction. This is a great way to help kids with numerators and denominators, as they can physically count the total number of...

Seventh graders practice combining decimals and fractions to find sums which are either greater than 4 or less than 5. Students first approximate the value of each fraction and decimal, then they look for combinations to fit the guidelines.

It's time to crack open that piggy bank and see what's inside. First, count up the pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters, identifying what fraction of them are dimes. Then calculate the total value of the coins, writing another fraction...

Support your young mathematicians' introduction to the world of fractions with this simple printable resource. Offering students a hands-on opportunity for learning how to visually represent fractions, this template would make...

There is more than one way to determine a sum. Scholars demonstrate their understanding of the decomposition of fractions similar to the decomposition of whole numbers. The short task requires pupils to determine which sums of fractions...

Behind all good design and construction lies a perfect set of plans that are created by a person who knows his, or her, math! Youngsters practice using one of the key tools of the draftsman, the ruler, to practice measuring...

Why is six-tenths equivalent to sixty-hundredths? This is the question learners are tasked to explain in writing as well as with a picture.

With so many math standards to fit into a school year, it can be difficult keeping track of what you have and have not covered. This collection of Common Core checklists allows you to maintain a running record of when each...

Sixth graders read word problems that involve finding the percent of an item, given the fraction. 

In this math worksheet, students use the fraction strips to label the parts of one whole and discover equivalent fractions. The first fraction is labeled in each strip to clue students on how to write the remaining fractions.

In this ratios activity, students complete a variety of online exercises involving writing twelve ratios in their simplest form, writing nine ratios in the form of 1:n, writing six ratios in the form n:1 and solving seven ratio word...

Seventh graders take a simple fraction and give it decimal form either by the use of equivalent fractions or division with a calculator.

Young scholars 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...

Learners explore the concept of fractions. For this fractions lesson, students perform basic operations such as addition and subtraction with fractions. Learners play a game on the computer called 'Fraction Four' that gives students...

Find here three printable math skills practice pages. The first simply asks learners to fill in the inequality signs for the comparison of two decimals. No number exceeds the hundreds place. Worksheet two compares fractions in tenths or...
