Fraction Lesson Plans

  1. Addition and Subtracting Small Decimals- There are five worksheets which children can use to practice adding and subtracting small numbers. They all have similar questions are straightforward to work through.
  2. Conversation Heart Fractions- Have the children sort the candies into like color piles. Then have each child record the correct fraction that matches each pile.
  3. Eat Your Fractions- Finding halves fourths eighths.
  4. Estimation- Read the book to the children. From the picture, estimate the number of items eaten on Saturday. Count them.
  5. Equivalent Fraction Munch with Pizza Pie- Use concrete pictorial models to represent fractions and mixed numbers; relate symbols to the models. Use models and pictures to compare fractions including equivalent fractions and mixed numbers; explain the comparison.

  1. Equivalent Fractions- Students will be able to recognize fractions of equal value and that name the same amount.
  2. Equivalent Fractions- Most students will benefit from the use of physical objects when they are introduced to the concept of equivalent fractions. This activity was designed to show the students that the notion of several names for a number is similar to the notion of several names for a person.
  3. EZ Fractions- By performing this activity, students will become familiar with fractions, and have a meaningful experience to relate them to. It is hoped that students will become more comfortable with using fractions and have a better understanding of them.
  4. Felt Fraction Common Denominators- Use of felt fraction shapes to demonstrate the concept of common denominators.
  5. Fraction Conversion Bingo- The purpose of this lesson is to reinforce previous math lessons involving the relationships between fractions, decimals, and percents.
  6. Fraction Fun with Food- The students will be able to identify concepts of fractions by using M & M's and pizza shapes to create their own fraction.
  7. Fraction Pizza- This involves stopping by local pizza shops and asking for them to donate pizza boxes for this activity.
  8. Fraction Pyramid- Divide each layer into fractions.
  9. Fraction Sandwiches- Students will be able to find the common unit of measure, or the common denominator, and will show this be correctly adding fractions with different denominators.
  10. Fraction Shapes- These activities are designed to cause students to think; they are not algorithmic. They do not say, To add fractions, do step one, step two, step three. Students will explore geometric models of fractions and discover relations among them.
  11. Fraction Worksheets- TeAchnology worksheets.
  12. Fraction/Decimal Lesson Plan- Investigating the relationship between fractions and decimals. Exploring equivalent fractions.
  13. Fractional Parts of a Group- Students will learn how to write fractions for parts of a group.
  14. Fractions- A great number of fun activities.
  15. Fractions- By performing this activity, students will become familiar with fractions, and have a meaningful experience to relate them to. It is hoped that students will become more comfortable with using fractions and have a better understanding of them.
  16. Fractions and Decimals- Students will either chose a card or the teacher will chose a card for the student. The student will follow the card's instructions. This activity can be used as a center where children either work individually or with a peer.
  17. Fractions and Decimals- Give each student a Baby Ruth candy bar. Have the students divide the bar into two equal parts. Then have the student divide the parts again. Discuss one of two equal parts (halves) and one of four equal parts (fourths).
  18. Fractions Unit Introduction- Have the students demonstrate fraction sentences by writing the sentence on a piece of paper and have the plasticene shapes that demonstrate each fraction below on the paper.
  19. Fractions, Equivalent Fractions and Decimals- The student, after a demonstration and explanation on number sense for fraction and decimals, will be able to relate fractions to decimals and find and compare equivalent fractions.
  20. Fun ways to teach fractions- Show kids fractions can be fun and are a part of everyday life.
  21. Having Fun Working With Fractions- Model each addition and subtraction example by shading parts of each region.
  22. Introduction to Fractions- Demonstrate and apply a knowledge and sense of numbers, including numeration and operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division) patterns, ratios, and proportions.
  23. Introduction to Fractions Using Cuisenaire Rods- Students will visually "see" and manipulate fractions with Cuisenaire Rods staircase to develop concept and fractional relationships.
  24. Learning Fractions With M&Ms- The students will sort their bowl of M & M's into colors and then, for each color, they will write out, both longhand and numerically, the fraction that represents how many of their M & M's are that color.
  25. Mars Fraction Hunt- This lesson is designed to give the students practice in the use of fractions, changing fractions, using equivalent fractions, and paying attention to detail.
  26. Matching Decimals and Fractions- These two activities can be carried out as a whole class with the tables (shown below) drawn on the board (and with individual children coming to the front to complete the activity) or individually with children completing the worksheets which can be found by following the links below.
  27. More Fractions in Everyday Life- Students will apply what they have learned about fractions to a real life situation.
  28. Percents- Rename ratios, decimals, and fractions as percents.
  29. Pumpkin Pie For All!- Let's make pumpkin pie for the whole class! Imagine making enough pie so that everyone could have a piece. How about enough pie to take one home. The only problem is that the recipe you have makes 1 pie at a time which only has 8 pieces.
  30. Sales Tax- Find out what percent of sales tax is changed when purchasing merchandise or food by dividing the price by the sales tax.
  31. Teaching fractions & ratios with M&Ms- I taught this lesson shortly after Halloween, so I began by asking students what they usually do with their Hallowe'en candy when they get home. I fielded responses, then told them that I used to sort my candy into piles (classifying it by types or colors or whatever).
  32. Understanding Fractions- Manipulatives, when used to introduce concepts about fractions, help students understand the ideas about fractions.
