It all adds up to one. Pupils solve several items that involve finding sums of fractions in relationship to a whole. The assessment task uses fractions with unlike denominators to determine the amount of a tank of gas and the amount of...

Everyone gets a toaster pastry to enjoy with this fractions lesson! First, youngsters cut their treat in two, and then they proceed to cut it into equal parts until they have 16 pieces! If your learners aren't quite ready for this...

Provide pupils with problems to check their understanding of the concepts within the unit. The seven-part series of lessons covers concepts related to irrational numbers. Learners convert between fractions and decimals, estimate the...

In this fraction addition activity, students learn to use shaded parts of a whole to help them add like fractions. Students write addition sentences and the answer in the first set. In the second set, students shade parts of the whole...

In this equivalent fractions worksheet, students learn to find equivalent fractions using shaded parts of a whole. Students complete several equivalent fractions using the shaded figures.

If students don't finish their whole lunch one day, a fraction of it will remain. On a second day, if they don't finish their lunch, another fraction will remain. What is the sum of those fractions?

In this fraction worksheet, students draw a line on the picture of a piece of wood to show where a carpenter would make his fractional cuts. They tell which piece of wood is the longest and shortest.

A well-composed and professional resource can be a wonderful way to add importance to a topic. This presentation is very well done and acts as an assignment which can be completed individually or during whole-class instruction....

If the fractions don't have a common denominator, make them have one. Learners first read and analyze a conversation of pupils trying to add 2/5 and 1/2. They compare the process of adding fractions to the process of adding quantities...

In this fractions worksheet, students count the part of the whole fraction that is colored. Students count 2 problems where they count colored crescent moons.

In this fraction worksheet, students read about fractions, numerators and denominators. They are also shown how a fraction can be depicted as shaded parts of a whole shape. They then solve the 9 problems in which they answer questions...
