Now you'll never have trouble cutting a cake evenly again. Here is a set of five problems all about partitioning shapes into a given number of pieces and identifying the fractional amount of each piece. As learners progress through the...

Add another strategy to the toolboxes of young mathematicians with this elementary math lesson on using number lines to add and subtract fractions.

Challenge your class to construct a definition for trapezoids. Looking at four examples and four non-examples, students individually create definitions and use them to classify an unknown shape. Allow for small group and whole-class...

What are fractions? Find out using a reference page and video that goes in depth on how to make fractions equivalent, write fractions in simplest form, convert improper fractions into mixed numbers, and vice versa. Following...

Reinforce the concept of fractions and decimals as part of a whole with a instructional activity that begins with a mixed review, then goes into a three problem guided practice, and ends with a collaborative activity. The guided practice...

Assess scholars' knowledge with a 22-page assessment that covers place value, patterns, probability, estimation, measurement, geometric figures; and their ability to add, subtract, multiply and divide proficiently. 

Cut it up into parts and make fractions. The short video provides a definition of fractions as being a representation of parts of a whole. Using drawings, the presentation shows how to determine the bottom and top numbers for a fraction...

Math can be satisfying for the mind and the stomach! Incorporate slices of pizza into your fractions instructional activity with a set of informative resources. After a brief guided instructional activity on comparing and ordering...

Practice identifying fractions with a worksheet that asks scholars to explore drawings and pinpoint parts of a whole. Class members asses figures and objects to identify the numerator, denominator, and write them in fraction form. 

How many different ways can you represent a whole? In a picture that represents six parts (two of which are shaded), learners are asked to label the parts appropriately to show how three different mathematical interpretations can be...

Pupils use visual models, numeric methods, and equations to solve percent problems. To complete the second installment of 20, they find the part given the percent and the whole, find the percent given the part and the whole, and find the...

Score a resource on ratios. Young mathematicians learn about different ways to express ratios. Using sports data, they write statements about the statistics in ratio form.

Connect division with multiplication through the use of models. Groups solve problems involving the division of a whole number by a fraction using models. The groups share their methods along with the corresponding division and...

The ninth installment of a 21-part module has pupils compare integers and rational numbers in decimal and fraction form. They match stories to number lines and compare values in the stories.
