Equivalent Fractions
Students complete a worksheet. In this fractions lesson plan, students review their knowledge of fractions, define equivalent fractions, see examples of equivalent fractions and practice making equivalent fractions.
Curated OER
Equivalent Fractions Manipulatives
Students study fractions. In this equivalent fractions lesson, students utilize fraction strips to enhance their understanding of equivalent fractions. They watch a demonstration and then work independently with their own set of fraction...
Curated OER
Clock Fractions
Elementary schoolers generate and manipulate fractions. They review equivalent fractions and use an analog clock to create and add fractions. Pupils work in groups to complete two fraction worksheets.
PHET
Fractions: Equality
What makes fractions equivalent? Learners first use an interactive that shows equivalent fractions with fraction models and number lines. They then play a game where they must match sets of equivalent fractions with different denominators.
Curated OER
Fractions . . . Are They Intricate or Elementary?
Elementary schoolers add and subtract fractions and mixed numbers and identify equivalent fractions of the same number. They use marshmallows to help them add fractions.

Study Jams! Fractions
What can quesadillas teach your class about fractions? More than you might think. AJ and Zoe from the StudyJams! crew use this Mexican cuisine to explain how fractions are just equal parts of a whole, defining the key terms numerator and...
Curated OER
Comparing and Ordering Fractions, Mixed Numbers, and Decimals
Create your own fraction kits by folding and labeling paper using fraction vocabulary. Learners then work in groups to use these in comparing and sequencing both whole numbers and fractions. They also create unit cubes and develop an...
Curated OER
Fractions of Shapes
Modelling fractions through shapes is a great way to demonstrate this concept to beginners. Learners examine 12 shapes, each divided into an even number of equal segments (up to 16 parts). They shade in half of each shape by shading half...
Curated OER
Fractions of Shapes
Explore fractions visually through segmented shapes. Scholars examine sets of shapes and shade in the given fraction. Each shape is divided into the same number of segments as the denominator of the desired fraction, so beginners aren't...

Comparing Visual Fractions
Introduce comparing fractions with a worksheet containing visual models. Young mathematicians must first identify the part being described in each model and then write greater than, less than, or equal to. Learners prepare to compare...
PHET
Fractions: Intro
There's nothing improper in learning about fractions. Scholars apply an interactive to explore models for proper and improper fractions. They then answer a set of questions in a game that requires building models for given fractions and...

Fractions
Reinforce fraction instruction with an informative worksheet equipped to provide independent practice, as well as guidance and modeling. Support is provided to boost proficiency in finding equivalent fractions, and adding, subtracting,...
Curated OER
Comparing Fractions
Learners compare three sets of fractions using the greater than, less than, and equal signs. To justify their answers, a drawing is also required that illustrates their reasoning. Including fractions with like and unlike denominators, as...

Squeebles Fractions
We are not exactly sure what a Squeeble is, but apparently they love cake and fractions, and your little bakers-turned-mathematicians will also. This app focuses on the basics of fractions including modeling fractions, equivalent...
Curated OER
Fractions
Fourth graders explore the meaning of equivalent fractions, find equivalent fractions, and explain why the fractions are equal. They share their ideas about equivalent fractions. Students answer the question: "What makes equivalent...

Initial Fraction Ideas: Lesson 3
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...
Illustrative Mathematics
Representing Half of a Circle
Geometric shapes make great visual models for introducing young mathematicians to the concept of fractions. Looking at a series of four circles, learners are asked to determine whether or not one half of each circle is shaded. To support...
Curated OER
Fractions, Equivalent Fractions and Decimals
Students examine how to relate fractions to decimals and find and compare equivalent fractions.
Corbett Maths
Simplifying Fractions
Put fractions in simpler terms. Learners watch a video showing how to simplifying fractions. They then work through two worksheets to practice the skill.
