Young mathematicians may not love fractions, but do they love sandwiches? How about cake? Use this visual fractions activity to represent fractions in a relatable way. Scholars start by coloring segmented shapes to indicate halves and...

Is it half? There are three sections to this introductory fractions learning exercise focusing on halves. First graders begin by coloring half of five basic shapes, each of which already is divided into two parts. Next, they examine four...

How can you make the two halves symetric? Scholars use the concept of symmetry to complete five images which are only half-drawn. The fun part about this exercise is that they aren't copying geometric shapes. There is a face, sun, kite,...

Early learners look at the pictures given and color one part to identify if it is 1/2 or 1/4. They then circle the correct fraction that they created.

Young learners read 2 examples of how to write fractions to show how much of a rectangle is shaded. Then students look at  9 diagrams of rectangles that have shaded areas. They write the fractional equivalent. Then they shade 3...

In this online interactive reading comprehension learning exercise, students respond to 25 multiple choice questions about Rowling's Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Students may submit their answers to be scored.

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...

In this fraction worksheet, students read about fractions as parts of a whole fraction strip at the top of the page. They write the fractions for each shaded part and each unshaded part of 7 fraction pictures. They shade the indicated...

In this problem solving thirteen ways activity, students observe squares that are divided into eight equal parts and solve thirteen ways to divide them into halves. Students color thirteen problems.

In this fraction worksheet, pupils color in the correct fractional amount given beneath pictures: 1/4, 1/2 and 2/4. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

Young mathematicians explore number values by utilizing food as a visual aide. They discuss the differences between halves, fourths, and eighths and how they are visually represented by a pizza. Then create their own pizza in class and...

In this online fractional parts worksheet, third graders read descriptions of fractions and choose the corresponding pictures, color fractional parts, identify shaded parts, draw lines to show fractions, and draw lines of symmetry....

Telling time is an important skill. Beginners to this concept determine the time to the nearest half hour using both digital and analog clocks. There are two examples here demonstrating the form scholars should use when recording each...

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...

Drawing lines of symmetry helps scholars understand shape attributes, basic fractions, and equality. They determine how many lines each of these nine shapes has, using an example as reference. Consider having learners cut out a set of...

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...

Where is the line of symmetry? Learners begin by drawing in a line to split three images evenly in half, using an example as reference. Encourage them to think about physically folding the picture to solidify this concept. Next, they do...

In this fractions instructional activity, students color in half of six shapes. There are six various shapes for students to color in.

Fraction models are a great way to help scholars visualize this concept, and they focus on thirds with these practice problems. First, there are five shapes each segmented into three even sections. Learners color in one-third of each,...

Set up youngsters for fraction success years down the road with this focus on quarters. They begin with examining five shapes that have been equally segmented into four parts. Using one example as reference, learners shade a quarter of...

Where is the line of symmetry in these shapes? Review this concept using the visual guide at the top of the page, explaining how some shapes have multiples lines. Consider demonstrating this concept with large cut-outs, physically...

In this word recognition instructional activity, students trace the word "half note", write the word independently, and color the picture of the half note.

Young scholars explore number sense by participating in a class fraction game. For this number value lesson, students utilize strips of paper with fractions written on them and conduct a trivia game in which teams challenge each other....

In this finding fractional parts word problem worksheet, learners draw and color to problem solve. Students solve six problems.
