Fourth graders find new names for fractions.  For this equivalent fractions lesson, 4th graders use manipulatives to model fractions and rename them. Students recognize that the new names show equivalent fractions.  Students...

An extensive lesson explores equivalent fractions and is intended for three 60-minute periods. Young mathematicians compare and order fractions with like and unlike denominators. Included are worksheets, assessments, and answer sheets;...

Visual models are excellent teaching tools when explaining equivalent fractions. Looking at a rectangle cut into twelfths, young scholars first identify the shaded fraction, and then explain whether the fraction is equal to one-fourth....

Third graders use strips of paper to find equivalent fractions. They will fold paper into thirds and shade 2/3 of the paper. Then fold the same paper in six parts and predict how many parts will be shaded. They will repeat again folding...

If you are looking for a simple way to review equivalent fractions, this is a great resource. Using a visual means and a series of examples, learners review this skill. There is a worksheet provided and a prompt to encourage pupils to...

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

Use powers of 10 to convert between fractions and decimals. Pupils convert decimals to fractions by using place values in the 13th installment of a 25-part series. Class members reverse the process and find equivalent fractions with a...

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,...

Visual models support young mathematicians with exploring equivalent fractions. Starting with a quick warm-up problem, children go on to work through a series of guiding practice problems before working with a partner identifying and...

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...

Here is a good fractions lesson which invites learners to fold paper strips to represent an equivalent fraction to the fraction model using chips or tiles displayed on the overhead. They arrange chips to represent a given fraction.

Students study fractions. In this equivalent fractions lesson, students utilize fraction strips to enhance their understanding of equivalent fractions. They watch a demonstration and then work independently with their own set of fraction...

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...

Help your third graders become familiar with equivalent fractions for one-half by having them create a quilt. They will use triangles to create a quilt of equivalent fractions over a period of 6 days. As they create the quilt pieces they...

Jump into equivalent fractions using these fun scenarios for mathematicians to solve. First, they use geoboards to find different ways to divide a rectangle in half. Then, an alien from the planet Fractional is after one half of their...

It's a snow day, and two brothers attending schools with different schedules each got a late start to the day. But who had the shorter school day? That's what your class will find out as they apply their knowledge of fractions to this...

Students explore equivalent fractions. In this fractions lesson plan, students use strips of paper to recognize equivalent fractions. Students may complete an online activity on an interactive whiteboard as an assessment.

Investigate equivalent fractions with your class. They compare and order fractions. Then they work cooperatively in groups to experiment and problem solve with fractions using a game format. Multiple resources are provided.

Students complete a worksheet.  In this fractions lesson, students review their knowledge of fractions, define equivalent fractions, see examples of equivalent fractions and practice making equivalent fractions.

Students investigate the process to work problems that involve equivalent fractions. They practice finding the equivalent values of fractions listed on the worksheet. The lesson includes example steps and problems for the teacher to use.

Elementary schoolers generate and manipulate fractions. They review equivalent fractions and use an analog clock to create and add fractions. Pupils work in groups to complete two fraction worksheets.

Elementary schoolers add and subtract fractions and mixed numbers and identify equivalent fractions of the same number. They use marshmallows to help them add fractions.

Welcome to Fraction City! This is an incredibly interactive and fun way to teach properties of fractions, and reaches multiple learning styles. Scholars create "blocks" by folding strips of paper in various increments (thirds, fourths,...

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,...
