Curated OER
Understanding Visual Fractions
Each of these sets of squares represents a fraction: Can your scholars match them correctly to the numeric fraction list? This may be a good way to show learners numerators and denominators, as they will see them in the fractions and...
Curated OER
Represent Mixed Numbers on a Number Line
See fractions visually with these eight images, each of which has a matching numerical fraction. The images have a row of objects representing the numerator and denominator. This is a nice way to show what a fraction actually means.
Curated OER
Comparing Fractions and Equivalence
Which fraction is greater than? Less than? There are 10 problems here that give scholars a visual approach to comparing fractions. They start by writing the fractions represented in a shaded shape. Then, they begin comparing visual...
Curated OER
Understanding Visual Fractions
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...
Curated OER
Understanding Visual Fractions
Fractions should be visual for beginners; give scholars a few different approaches through these five problems. First, they examine two shapes with shaded sections, writing a fraction to represent the shaded portion. Next, mathematicians...
Curated OER
Understanding Visual Fractions
Using fractions as their artistic guide, learners color in parts of five shape images. Each image is segmented based on the denominator, so scholars simply need to apply the numerator to know how much to color. None of these are mixed...
