In this lesson plan, students complete a coloring activity and practice where like fractions are actually used in real-life situations. Problem solving involves using fractions with common denominators utilizing think, solve, and explain format.
This lesson is Day 11 in a series of 12 lessons around fraction equivalences and comparisons.
This video lesson reviews parts of a whole, comparing fractions, and equivalent fractions. No materials are needed.
Students will use dominoes to learn how to represent a graphical model for adding unlike fractions.
In this interactive math game, students will click on the fraction that is equivalent to the fraction that appears on the screen. They can choose fast or slow mode. Once students complete the level they can choose another level to play.
In this interactive math game, students will click on the fraction and match it to the model fraction that appears on the screen. They can choose fast or slow mode. Once students complete the level they can choose another level to play.
In this lesson, students will work with partners and use origami frogs to record the distance of their jumps with a fraction bar. They will list the jumps in order from shortest jump to longest jump and then record their jump on class line plots.
In this lesson, students will compare two fractions with the same numerator or same denominator by reasoning about their size. They should recognize that comparisons are valid only when the two fractions refer to the same whole. They will record their results and use comparing symbols to justify their conclusions using a model.
Students will gain knowledge on how to recognize and generate simple equivalent fractions. They will learn the criss cross method of checking to see if their process of elimination is accurate in naming an equivalent fraction. Students will then model equivalent fractions.
This is a great opening cluster lesson from Tools4NCTeachers. In this lesson, students explore with fraction tiles and make observations and generalizations about fractions. This can also be used to activate prior knowledge in order to see what students know or what misconceptions they already have about fractions. This is remixable.
