Comparing equivalent fractions is one of the most difficult math concepts to teach to youngsters. How can numbers that look so different actually represent the same thing? This presentation takes a lot of the mystery out of equivalent...

An outstanding presentation on fractions and their equivalents awaits your mathematicians. They view many excellent examples of models of fractions that look different numerically, but are actually the same in value. Terrific practice...

After you've introduced fractions to your class, have them check out this highly comprehensive slide-show on equivalent fractions. The fractions 1/1, 2/2, 4/4, and 8/8 are shows as fraction bars so that learners will be able to grasp how...

Help the class understand how to different fractions can be equivalent. Mixed numbers and fractions are defined, equivalent fractions are shown and described, and problem solving strategies are used for a class...

A rather simple presentation on identifying equivalent fractions awaits your young mathematicians. Each slide has a piece of pie that's been divided into equal parts, but one of the parts has been further divided into a different...

Fractions equivalent to 1/3, 1/4, and 1/2 are the focus of this slide show. The class views each set of fractions and notes how each set can be considered equivalent. The relationships are shown both visually and mathematically, which...

The world of fractions is the focus of this math PowerPoint. Young mathematicians are introduced to terms such as: numerator, denominator, equivalent, and fraction bar. Two test preparation slides are included, as well as a slide that...

How can fractions that look different be considered equivalent? Answer that questions with this informative and easy to follow resource. Fractions are shown in numeric and picture form to reinforce how the are equivalent. The process for...

As this slide show explains, simplifying a fraction is very similar to finding an equivalent fraction. The process to simplify fractions is fully demonstrated and clearly explained, 15 practice problems are included.

As a critical-thinking activity, this series of problems would be a great supplemental activity to use after a unit on fractions. The solutions require a good deal of thought and allow learners to tap into their problem solving abilities.

If you have some 9-10 year olds who are ready for some 5th year math, then check out this UK math unit. There are 172 slides that cover all of the basic multiplication tables, relate those to division, fractions, sequencing, and an...

In this math PowerPoint, the process of adding fractions with unlike denominators is broken down into a logical, easy-to-follow sequence of steps. Definitions and examples of multiples, least common multiple, and least common denominator...

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...

This fractions PowerPoint defines and gives examples of multiples and least common multiple, then models how to list multiples and circle the least common multiple. Each step to use in subtracting fractions with unlike denominators is...

Adding fractions with unlike denominators is a difficult process to master. This fine presentation does a terrific job of leading young math whizzes through the steps necessary to perform this calculation. The slides have clear graphics,...

What is 1/4 of 36? The class will work through six examples and 4 problems to better understand the relationship between fraction and quantity. The first six example show how a whole is broken into equal parts and is represented as a...

These presentations by Monica Yuskaitis are particularly good. In this one, she shows viewers how to deal with subtracting fractions that have unlike denominator, no small task! This is a tricky process, and this PowerPoint takes young...

Using a creative method for presenting the information, this resource explores identifying and writing fractions. It is colorful and straightforward. As a way to introduce and then practice fractions, this is a wonderful resource. There...

Here you will find a presentation on fractions and their decimal equivalents. In this format, your students don't really do any calculations; rather, they view a bunch of tables and charts that show how fractions have equivalent decimal...

How many ways can you use a chocolate bar to engage mathematical reasoning? This slideshow gives you seven to choose from. Part/whole, fractions, counting, and using chocolate bars as arrays are only a few. Note: This is a presentation...

Introduce the concept of fractions to very young children. They see images of objects cut in half. They then complete a series of activities where they color half of each given image, then cut and paste two halves together to create one...

The equivalency of fractions, decimals, and percents is the focus of this short, but effective, presentation. Learners view grids of squares that are shaded in varying degrees. They must calculate the fraction, decimal, and percentile...

Three simple slides show the relationship between division and multiplication. Items are grouped into equal sets based on the division problem presented, then related to repeated addition and multiplication.

This PowerPoint demonstrates how to add mixed numbers with unlike denominators. The slides display examples of problems, along with steps that students can easily follow.
