In this fractions instructional activity, students add positive and negative fractions with unlike denominators. They compute a fractional part of a number. This six-page instructional activity contains approximately 20 problems....

Young architects are prompted to design a playground in assigned groups. Using a 10 x 10 grid. Your fifth graders will apply their knowledge of fractions, percents, and decimals to the real-world task of designing a playground....

It is up to the learner to find the amount of juice originally in a bottle, knowing what fraction of the juice is left, and the amount that has been consumed. The accompanying commentary provides a useful and detailed description of...

Young mathematicians extend their knowledge of rational numbers on a number line to graph inequalities by first using number cards to compare rational numbers. They finish by using similar reasoning to graph inequalities on a number line.

In this fraction worksheet, learners determine which shape is divided into equal parts and check their answer. Students then look at shaded parts of a whole and circle the correct fraction. Finally, learners determine the fraction for...

In this mathematics activity, 4th graders add the fractions and shade the parts illustrated in each picture. Then they write the whole numbers from 0 to 5 under the bolded black lines. Students also add and give their answer as a mixed...

Develop ratios within sporting games. Class members watch a video about dodgeball and see how coaches compare the scores. Pupils then work with ratios to compare the scores throughout the tournament. Using their knowledge of ratios, they...

Understanding where to place a fraction on a number line is key to understanding fractions as numbers. This activity focuses on locating fractions less than one. Learners need to partition the line into the correct number of equal sized...

There is more than one way to add mixed numbers. This worksheet asks 5th graders to find and record two ways. The purpose is to help pupils realize there are different ways to reach a common solution in math. The two most common ways are...

Part of as assessment series, the activity follows the lesson Molly's Run to practice ratios and dividing with fractions. Different solution options are given for your learners' preference. The commentary explains how the...

Make sure scholars know all about fractions and decimals — not just a fraction of the information. The 12th installment of a 21-part series is a mid-module assessment. Learners solve problems in the context of a birthday party and a...

In this sixths worksheet, students model 8 fractions by coloring or shading the fractions with the denominator 6. Students can color similar fractions in different ways.

Project this visual fraction problem for the entire class, covering up the explanation below. Learners examine two rectangles segmented into equal parts, each with part shaded. They convert each into fractions and reduce to lowest terms...

Learners can actually see the numerators and denominators as they examine three segmented shapes. For each, they must write a fraction representing the shaded regions of the shape. Only one of these can be simplified, so decide whether...

For this math worksheet, students examine 32 fraction circles with different fractional parts shaded in each. Students write the fraction that goes with each picture.

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

In this math worksheet, students find the fractions that represent the shapes in the pictures. The first square has an example for them to follow.

For this recognizing fractions worksheet, students read a review that shows shaded and unshaded parts and identifies the numerator and denominator and apply the information to write the fractions for the shaded and not shaded parts of...

In this cross-curricular sampler of worksheets, students determine the meaning of specialized vocabulary and to understand the precise meaning of grade-level-appropriate words, describe and connect the essential ideas, arguments, and...

 Young mathematicians respond to a series of comprehension questions after reading an article about simplifying fractions.

Split the work three ways. Learners use their knowledge of fractions to solve problems dealing with splitting up work loads evenly between three groups. Scholars determine the fractional portion of work each group will do along with...

Can Dan make a conjecture about dividing fractions with the same denominators? That is what your scholars are to determine. They must show that if the statement is true, they understand how the quantities were determined, and how...

In this math activity, students will read about the definition of fractions. Students will read about and practice equivalent fractions, simplifying fractions and adding and subtracting fractions.

In this percents and fraction worksheet, students read short story problems, write an equation, and determine the percent or fractional part of a given number. They use the work backwards strategy to determine the initial number. This...
