Fractional Parts Using an Area Model

Visual models support young mathematicians as they deepen their fractional number sense in this elementary math lesson. Using fraction circle manipulatives, children explore basic unit fractions as they develop the fundamental...

Understanding when to divide by two or one-half can be confusing. Here is an activity that gives four different scenarios. It is up to your number crunchers to decide if they divide by two or one-half. The easiest way to approach the...

Use this fraction and whole number division worksheet to have your learners sharpen their math skills as they solve 10 problems that require them to divide fractions by whole numbers.

In this math PowerPoint, the process of multiplying whole numbers and fractions is broken down into clear, sequential steps. Examples of each step are given numerically and in simple, easy-to-understand text. Story problems and examples...

Visual models are invaluable tools when teaching about fractions. Follow along as the instructor works through two examples, providing clear verbal and visual explanations of the steps for multiplying fractions by whole numbers. Young...

A quick demonstration of how to multiply a whole number times a fraction.

A demonstration of how to multiply a whole number times a fraction.

Follow along as the instructor demonstrates how to subtract a whole number from a fraction. First, she changes the whole number to a fraction. Then she finds the least common denominator of the two fractions. Finally, she does the...

Whole numbers are the natural numbers including zero. The instructor illustrates and explains place value. She draws a place value chart and then defines each term and what the numbers mean. She writes a number in standard form and then...

Learning how to visualize is an important step in the growth of young mathematicians. The first video in this two-part series helps learners develop this ability by using visual models to explain multiplication of fractions by whole...
