Support your young mathematicians' introduction to the world of fractions with this simple printable resource. Offering students a hands-on opportunity for learning how to visually represent fractions, this template would make...

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 instructional activity, students learn to find equivalent fractions using shaded parts of a whole. Students complete several equivalent fractions using the shaded figures.

Students are introduced to the concept of using manipulatives when working with fractions in real life situations. In this using manipulative with fractions lesson, students make connections about when manipulatives aid in...

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?

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....

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...

Pattern blocks and shapes demonstrate how to add and subtract fractions. By aligning blocks with different shapes, learners figure out how to create a whole, and then how to add and delete parts from that whole.

By using language like "half of the stamps," children are exposed to patterns in arithmetic that requires solving a two-step word problem. This type of language opens a new door for transitioning learners toward understanding fractions...

What is 1/4 of 36? The class will work through six examples and 4 problems to better understand the relationship between fraction and quantity. The first six example show how a whole is broken into equal parts and is represented as a...

For this fractions worksheet, students solve 22 problems in which a fraction is written to describe the shaded parts of a whole. Students also draw pictures to illustrate fractions.

Students translate problem situations into diagrams, models, and numerals using whole numbers, fractions, mixed numbers, decimals, and percents. They identify that numbers in different forms are equivalent or not equivalent using whole...

It is all about being equivalent. Class members convert between fractions, decimals, and percents. By using visual models, scholars verify their conversions in the 25th portion of a 29-part series.

What better way to learn about fractions than with a couple pizzas? Help Jessica figure out how much of the pizza she has eaten, while teaching your class that fractions refer to a specific whole amount. This problem will be challenging...

Reinforce number sense with a collection of math lessons for kindergarteners through fifth graders. Young mathematicians take part in hands-on activities, learning games, and complete skills-based worksheets to enhance proficiency...

Supplement your lesson on improper fractions with this simple resource. Working on number lines labeled with whole numbers between 0 and 5, young mathematicians represent basic improper fractions with halves and thirds. The fractions...

Teach your math class to determine the value of fractions. The group will explore how to break a fractional part into smaller pieces, which helps strengthen their understanding of the part/whole relationship of fractions. A written...

In this fraction worksheet, 4th graders examine a picture that shows a collection of stuffed animals. They determine the fractional part of the whole that each group of animals represents. They complete a question about the size of the...

In order for students to acquire knowledge about math concepts, and in particular fractions, they need concrete ways to practice an abstract concept.¿¿¿ Using Hershey bars builds on prior knowledge as most students have probably...

In this fraction learning exercise, 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.

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...

An episode of Cyberkids is shown, and learners interact with web based activities to discover how fractions are parts of a whole. They study the names of fraction parts, add and subtract fractions, and recognize equivalent fractions.

Part/whole relationships mean it's time to practice fractions. This slide-show makes reviewing fractions a colorful and fun activity. Learners work through the first seven slides to identify the shaded amount, solve two parts of a given...
