Modelling fractions through shapes is a great way to demonstrate this concept to beginners. Learners examine 12 shapes, each divided into an even number of equal segments (up to 16 parts). They shade in half of each shape by shading half...

Students demonstrate how to solve addition and subtraction of fractions. In this fractions instructional activity, students use folded paper to shade in fractional parts and identify the sum of the parts shaded.

For this comparing fractions practice worksheet, students sharpen their problem solving skills as they solve 6 story problems that require them to compare fractions.

There are 33 fractions here, and all of them need to be changed...yet stay the same. Scholars convert improper fractions to mixed numbers and vice versa. Some of the mixed numbers require canceling, which the example demonstrates well....

Help mathematicians convert fractions to decimals and vice versa through these exercise sets. First, they write out nine fractions as decimals. This is really a practice in place value, as all the denominators here are 10. One of them...

A package of Smarties is cleverly-used to illustrate the basics of fractions in this math PowerPoint. The basics of determining the numerator, denominator, along with exercises in calculating simplest form and equivalency are also...

In this mixed numbers and fractions learning exercise, students solve 18 different problems by addition and subtraction methods. First, they determine the least common denominator in each problem. Then, students find the equivalent...

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,...

Represent fractions visually using shape models. Scholars color in two sets of shapes to represent specific fractions: 2/3 and 3/4. The shapes are segmented into equivalent fractions for most of these, so scholars need to understand this...

Explore fractions visually through segmented shapes. Scholars examine sets of shapes and shade in the given fraction. Each shape is divided into the same number of segments as the denominator of the desired fraction, so beginners aren't...

Math can be satisfying for the mind and the stomach! Incorporate slices of pizza into your fractions lesson plan with a set of informative resources. After a brief guided lesson plan on comparing and ordering fractions, young...

In this fractions instructional activity, students solve and complete 20 different problems that include adding and subtracting various fractions. First, they use the given equivalents to add and subtract the first row of fractions....

Put fractions in simpler terms. Learners watch a video showing how to simplifying fractions. They then work through two worksheets to practice the skill.

Mix things up a little to be improper. The presenter shows three example of changing a mixed number to an equivalent improper fraction. Scholars work several practice problems and application questions to refine the process.

As part of a study of percent and percent change, learners first complete an assessment task with several percent change problems. They then complete an activity using cards to create a diagram expressing percent increases and...

In this equivalent fractions worksheet, students read about finding equivalent fractions, then complete a set of 15 problems. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

Deepen the fractional number sense of young learners with this introductory lesson plan on equivalent fractions. After completing a short warm-up activity, children go on to work in pairs using fraction circles to complete a table...

Visual models support young mathematicians as they deepen their fractional number sense in this elementary math lesson. Using fraction circle manipulatives, children explore basic unit fractions as they develop the fundamental...

Visual models are a great tool for demonstrating the concept of equivalent fractions. Given two pictures, young mathematicians first identify each fraction and then write an explanation for why they are equivalent. Use as a guided...

Fraction circles are the primary feature of this worksheet for practicing calculating equivalent fractions. It includes 10 practice problems and an answer key, and supports visual interpretation of this...

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...

Provide learners with practice for identifying equivalent fractions. The first worksheet contains 15 problems that instruct pupils to name fractions based on visuals, and to find missing parts to equivalent fractions. In the second...

Pupils stretch their conversion math muscles with a decimals, fractions, and percents worksheet. Ten problems require learners to match the given decimal, fraction, or percent to its equivalent. 

Develop young mathematicians' ability to compare fractions with investigation into the number 1/2. After brainstorming a list of fractions equivalent to 1/2, children identify a pattern in the numerators and...
