Young mathematicians utilize video, the internet, and hands-on learning experiences in order to recognize that fractions aren't as "scary" as they first appear, and that we use them every day in our lives. The hands-on activities in this...

Learn how to identify equivalent fractions by using divisors. After reading and discussing the skill, young mathematicians solve two problems using visual fraction models, and then solve eight equivalent fraction problems...

Your learners will enjoy playing a game as a motivator to learning and remembering the adding and subtracting of fractions.

Fourth graders participate in a lesson that is about the finding of different fractional sizes with the help of pattern blocks. They define the vocabulary terms of numerator and denominator. The lesson also uses geometry and relates it...

Young math whizzes solve 20 various types of equations related to fractions. First, they state each portion shaded as a fraction in lowest terms. Then, they determine the missing numerator or denominator and determine the value of each...

Middle schoolers identify proper, improper fractions, and mixed numbers.  They reduce fractions to their lowest terms. They add and subtract fractions with different denominators, and multiply and divide fractions, as well as...

Which ones are equivalent? Scholars examine four fraction models to determine which ones represent the same fraction. This is a great way to help kids with numerators and denominators, as they can physically count the total number of...

Where would 3/4 be on the number line? Project this fraction problem as an all-class warm up, asking scholars to complete it on their own before revealing the detailed explanation below. Using a number line segmented into quarters, they...

A number line serves as the medium to display visual fractions as scholars examine two points along its segmented length. The line is split into quarters and scholars determine which fraction is represented by two letters labeled at...

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...

Each of these fractions has an accompanying number line, segmented only by lines. Scholars match the fractions to the corresponding number line based on how many total segments (denominator) and the line circled (numerator). This...

Elementary and secondary learners investigate various concepts related to the study of fractions. They use word problems during the introduction to parts of a fraction and proceed to some of the basic operations of using fractions. The...

Practice converting decimals into fractions. They draw a 3x3 grid and write in any nine common fractions with denominator 10 or 100 and with numerators 9 or less. The group listens as the teacher call out decimal numbers within the given...

Young mathematicians use fraction names and symbols to describe fractional parts of whole objects or sets of objects. They construct concrete models of fractions, and compare fractional parts of whole objects in a problem situation using...

For this polynomials worksheet, students solve and complete 16 different types of problems. First, they solve each of the fractional expressions shown. Then, students factor each polynomial and find their roots. In addition, they write...

In this rational expressions learning exercise, 9th graders solve and complete 15 different problems that include adding and subtracting rational expressions. First, they define Least Common Multiple to get a common denominator in an...

In this adding and subtracting fractions worksheet, learners solve 5 sets of problems related to the adding and subtracting of fractions. First, they identify that each fraction has a common denominator and then simplify by adding or...

Students observe and demonstrate a variety of activities to identify the fraction parts and the symbols they represent. As a class they explore different fractions using unifix cubes, then use the cubes to build and discuss the...

Students explore the parts of an orange to develop an understanding of the addition and subtraction of fractions. The concept of representing parts of a whole by dividing an object into smaller pieces is experienced in this hands-on...

Students study the concept of fraction using mathematical reasoning. In this problem solving fraction lesson, students use various methods to explain their reasoning in solving fractions. Students use a number of different prompts to...

In this fractions instructional activity, 6th graders solve 10 different problems that includes the subtraction of various fractions. They subtract the fractions with common denominators. Then, students subtract the numerators to...

For this fractions of numbers worksheet, 8th graders solve 20 different problems related to determining various fractions of numbers. First, they determine the fractional part of each number listed. Then, students order the fractions...

Students are introduced to fractions, including operations with fractionsm converting fractions to decimals and percents. They are provided with activities that provide ample practice opportunities to reinforce the information from the...

Learners use a pie (circle) to study fractions. They create their own fraction problems and demonstrate to their classmates how to solve the problems. They discuss ways they use fractions in their daily lives.
