Twice as Long, Half as Long

Jump into equivalent fractions using these fun scenarios for mathematicians to solve. First, they use geoboards to find different ways to divide a rectangle in half. Then, an alien from the planet Fractional is after one half of their...

Did you know one half of a rectangle be represented in more than one way? Young mathematicians choose the rectangles that represents one half with an instructive worksheet.

How can you make the two halves symetric? Scholars use the concept of symmetry to complete five images which are only half-drawn. The fun part about this exercise is that they aren't copying geometric shapes. There is a face, sun, kite,...

Is it half? There are three sections to this introductory fractions learning exercise focusing on halves. First graders begin by coloring half of five basic shapes, each of which already is divided into two parts. Next, they examine four...

Young mathematicians may not love fractions, but do they love sandwiches? How about cake? Use this visual fractions activity to represent fractions in a relatable way. Scholars start by coloring segmented shapes to indicate halves and...

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...

What time is it? It's time to learn how to read analog and digital clocks! There are three analog and two digital clock faces here, each reading a time on the hour or half-hour. Learners examine and match them to the written-out versions...

Young learners start out by going to the board to draw lines through shapes to identify halves. Then they are given a square of paper and are directed to fold the paper into halves and then into fourths. They color the halves...

Introduce the concept of fractions to very young children. They see images of objects cut in half. They then complete a series of activities where they color half of each given image, then cut and paste two halves together to create one...

Introduce your math class to fractions with this worksheet. Six number lines are provided, and learners must fill in the missing numbers. Some blanks are whole numbers, and some are half numbers. Numbers up to 48 are shown.
