After your math classes have been introduced to fractions (especially those with denominators of two, four, and eight), introduce them to fractions on a number line with this lesson. Using a meter length of tape, show your class where...

Love this! Kids play to practice determining which fraction is larger. Each set of fractions are represented in numeric form as well as how they appear on a fraction circle. This is a great way to show learners the differences between...

A four-page resource walks learners through the basics of multiplying fractions. The handout is very visual with many diagrams in various colors. By the end of the lesson, learners are given an opportunity to multiply whole numbers with...

Work with fractional cookies. The three-part assessment task checks the pupils' ability to find the product of fractions and whole numbers, mixed numbers, or fractions. Learners determine the amount of ingredients needed and how many of...

Students examine how to convert fractions into decimals and percents. They work with base ten blocks and a worksheet to color in parts of 100 and renaming the parts as decimals and fractions.

Mathematicians make representations of fractional parts of a whole and learn that a decimal is another way to represent a fractional part. Understanding is extended by comparing and ordering fractions and decimals on a number line. This...

Students describe a fraction in terms of sharing parts of a whole. They understand the meaning of the parts of a fraction and add and subtract like fractions. They apply fractions to problem situations and recognize and use equivalent...

Students recognize the fractional values of window panes as part of the whole window. In this window panes instructional activity, students listen to a story about window panes and sing a song. Students look at pictures of windows and...

A fabulous lesson on fractions awaits your young mathematicians. In it, learners are invited to explore the world of fractions by accessing websites that have educational activities and worksheets embedded in them. Some excellent,...

Students begin the instructional activity by discovering that a fraction is one part of a whole. In groups, they practice reducting larger fractions into small fractions and discovering they are equal. They use blocks to identify the...

Second graders study digits in 2- or 3-digit whole numbers. They write and solve story problems which involve whole numbers, using addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division.

In this mathematics worksheet, students identify a whole number as a combination of two smaller parts. They use counters to help them add various combinations of numbers.

In this modeling fraction instructional activity, students color parts of boxed areas to represent a given fraction. They create models of fractional parts. This one-page instructional activity contains 21 problems.

Upper graders explore division through fair-shares. They will review fair shares and fractions as a segway into division. They start by playing "Share Fairly" game and create mathematical arguments for solving problems. Manipulatives and...

Learners are introduced to dividing by fractions in a visual way. Setting up groups from the information in the problem allows them to see what we divide and why. Use with the previous lesson, which can be found in Additional Materials,...

Third graders are exposed to finding the area of polygons by decomposing figures and recomposing them into rectangles. This strategy allows children to expand on their prior knowledge of constructing shapes by rearranging parts into...

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...

Fractions can be tricky, and there is no better way to tackle tricky topics than with a visual representation. Intended for learners in grades two and three, this set of printable worksheets provides a variety of fractions represented in...

In this fraction fun worksheet, young scholars practice using fractional parts of a whole as they participate in a spinner game with partners.

Fourth graders use pattern blocks and fraction identification cards to create and identify fractions. In this fractions lesson plan, 4th graders identify fractions in a pizza, and make fractions with markers.

Young mathematicians work through the concept of converting a shaded ten-frame into a mixed number and a decimal. Learners must first identify the number of wholes. Then, they find the fraction part. After writing the...

In this mixed number addition learning exercise, students solve a total of 7 problems, adding mixed numbers with like denominators. An example problem appear at the top of the learning exercise.

There is no doubt that learners remember what they have learned when they have a visual representation. Using an egg carton and candy bars, they explore the concept of fractional amounts. By having students cut the egg carton into parts...
