"What are fractions composed of?" is the essential question of a lesson designed to enhance understanding and strengthen the foundation of adding fractions. Mathematicians start by discussing what makes an equation true or false,...

Encourage family participation at home with a reference tool designed to support learners' practice of simplifying fractions. Two pages offer detailed descriptions and labeled examples. 

Need a unit to teach fractions to fourth graders? Look no further than this well-developed and thorough set of lessons that takes teachers through all steps of planning, implementing, and assessing their lessons. Divided into eight...

There is more than one way to determine a sum. Scholars demonstrate their understanding of the decomposition of fractions similar to the decomposition of whole numbers. The short task requires pupils to determine which sums of fractions...

This unit on fractions allows for upper-aged elementary learners to explore ways to find the greatest common factor and least common multiple of two numbers. Ultimately, young mathematicians will be able to identify equivalent fractions,...

Uncover strategies for finding areas of composite figures. The 23rd instructional activity in a 29-part module has young mathematicians decompose figures to find total area. Figures decompose to rectangles and circular regions.

In this exercise, students practice decomposing fractions with denominators of 100. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to get hints and try questions repeatedly.

Review the basics of decomposing fractions, and try some practice problems.

Practice breaking apart (decomposing) some number of hundredths into tenths and hundredths. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

Practice decomposing fractions (breaking fractions into parts that can be added together). Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

One goal of this task is to help students develop comfort and ease with adding fractions with unlike denominators. Another goal is to help them develop fraction number sense by having students decompose fractions. Aligns with 5.NF.A.1.

A simple tool where you insert a fraction into the box and see the different ways that it can be decomposed.

Students use pattern shapes to explore geometry and fractions, creating their own designs, or filling in outlines. As they work with the shapes students explore geometric relationships, think about angles, investigate symmetry, and...

Practice solving problems involving triangles, parallelograms, and composite figures. Exercises include decimals, fractions, and word problems. Area of circles is not included. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity...
