This task challenges a student to demonstrate understanding of the concept of equivalent fractions.

In the accompanying classroom activity, students use equivalent fractions to solve a problem and create word problems of their own.

The rules for reducing fractions using factorization are clearly explained at this website. This is an excellent place to get step by step explanations for working with fractions.

Practice renaming fractions in higher terms using circle fractions, in this Java applet interactive game. A simple activity for most. However, if you get stuck, see the detailed, directions and examples that are included.

An online board game where students practice adding, subtracting, simplifying, and identifying equivalent fractions. By answering the question correctly students are able to roll the die to move forward on the board game.

On this webpage, students can study fractions including the numerator, denominator, equivalent fractions, decimals, and percents.

Interactive fraction bars allow practice with mixed and equivalent fractions, decimals, and percents. Use Safari and/or Chrome browser.

Sixth graders participate in several activities to practice operations with decimals, fractions, and the distributive property.

A card game where students compete to lay down cards - each containing fractions - which sum to zero. The game provides practice for the students who have a working knowledge of the operations with fractions.

The purpose of this task is to present students with a context where they need to explain why two simple fractions are equivalent and are most appropriate for instruction. Students can illustrate the fact that the two fractions are...

What's the best deal? How do you represent equivalent amounts? Students work on these questions as they wrap up Unit 2.

Play a matching game with different representations of equivalent items.

The purpose of this task is to provide students with an opportunity to explain fraction equivalence through visual models in a particular example. Part (c) should be approached as a discussion before students are asked to write an...

Given a set of fractions students will be able to compare unit fractions by using models to determine that the more equal parts there are in the whole, the smaller each part will be. This lesson includes a detailed plan, samples of...

What is a ratio? How can we create equivalent ratios? Students work to express and extend relationships using ratios.

This instructional activity allows middle schoolers to practice writing and solving rates by conducting an experiment to find the best tasting Kool-Aid mixture. It gives an assessment and ideas for remediation, extension as well as ways...

In this interactive lesson, students will experience the engineering design process as an aerospace engineer assigned to design and test an airplane.

Convert mixed numbers or mixed fractions to percents. The mixed number to percentage calculator finds the decimal equivalent by finding the decimal value of the fraction, adding the decimal to the whole number part of the mixed number,...

The ratio calculator performs three types of operations and shows the steps to solve. It simplifies ratios or creates an equivalent ratio when one side of the ratio is empty, solves ratios for the one missing value when comparing ratios...
