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.

Students use candy bars, beef jerky, and brownies to represent different fractions. Students also use colored multi-link cubes or blocks to illustrate the same representations of fractions. Students work with a partner to create diagrams...

Mixed numbers can be added conceptually, algorithmically, and physically. Have the class visualize mixed numbers by adding fraction bars together. They then discover the algorithmic process that simplifies adding mixed numbers. Finally,...

Help your third graders become familiar with equivalent fractions for one-half by having them create a quilt. They will use triangles to create a quilt of equivalent fractions over a period of 6 days. As they create the quilt pieces they...

Inject fun into your math review! Pupils review basic math operations with decimals as well as addition and subtraction with simple fractions. In this number operations lesson, students work in groups to create a game for the math skill...

Fourth graders compare and order fractions in a fraction game activity. In this fraction game activity, 4th graders play a game that requires them to add fractions with like denominators and compare fractions. Students create posters...

Fifth graders practice fraction skills by making quilts using paper or cloth for the squares and rectangles. Each square of the quilt is an equivalent fraction which they design. Students can also use this activity to demonstrate how to...

Students combine imagination, block manipulation, and computer applets to investigate fractions.

Fourth graders watch a video and find the circumference of a pumpkin. In this circumference lesson, 4th graders watch a video to help them find the circumference of their pumpkins. Students define the word circumference on their data...
