one of four equal parts (fourths).
- 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.
- Fractions,

and explanation on number sense for fraction and decimals, will be able
to relate fractions to decimals and find and compare equivalent fractions.
- Fun
ways to teach fractions- Show kids fractions can be fun and are
a part of everyday life.
- Having Fun Working
With Fractions- Model each addition and subtraction example by shading
parts of each region.
- Introduction
to Fractions- Demonstrate and apply a knowledge and sense of numbers,
including numeration and operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication,
division) patterns, ratios, and proportions.
- Introduction to
Fractions Using Cuisenaire Rods- Students will visually "see" and
manipulate fractions with Cuisenaire Rods staircase to develop concept
and fractional relationships.
-
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.
-
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.
- 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.

about fractions to a real life situation.
- Percents-
Rename ratios, decimals, and fractions as percents.
- Pumpkin
Pie For All!- Let's make pumpkin pie for the whole class! Imagine

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).
- Understanding
Fractions- Manipulatives, when used to introduce concepts about
fractions, help students understand the ideas about fractions.
