Fractions in Between | Education.com - 2 views

  • Understanding fractions can be tough! Try using a deck of playing cards to formulate fractions. In this activity, you will randomly deal cards onto a game board, representing three different fractions. Work together to evaluate whether or not those fractions are in order from greatest to least. Use a calculator to help you solve, and come to a better understanding about the value of different fractions.

      Extension: This activity can connect math with art if pictures, or number lines, or graphs are used with this activity to represent the fractions and number order. Adaptations: Manipulatives can be used for this activity. Gifted students can help peers with game. Special Ed  students can draw or graph the fractions if this helps them to better understand concepts.

      Extensions:  Add graphing of fractions or drawing of fractions to help with understanding.  This would connect math with art. Adaptations: Add manipulatives if needed.  Gifted students could help peers in game.  Keep the denominators the same in fractions to help Special Ed students.  ELL students would benefit from pictures or graphing of fractions.

      4.NF.1  Explain why a fraction a/b is equivalent to a fraction (nxa) (nxb) by using visual fraction models, with attention to how the number and size of the parts differ even though the two fractions themselves are the same size. Differentiation: For gifted students, the problems on the board can be changed to best suit the child's abilities.
  •  
    This activity can be adapted to practice basic facts, identifying simple polygons, or finding the meaning of fractions. The game involves rolling a die and landing on a marker.  Each player must either solve a problem on the marker or answer a question in a cell to move forward.

Dividing by Fractions ... with Graham Crackers! | Education.com - 2 views

    • Amanda McCarthy
       
      Students can work in pairs to help understand the concept. For students who are farther behind or are ELLs the teacher could model the activity with the students so they would be able to follow along easily. For the students who are more advanced you could ask them to figure out the fractions on their own or try doing harder division with two fractions instead of just one fraction and a whole number.
  •  
    This activity helps show students how to divide whole numbers by fractions using graham crackers.

      By carefully choosing the cards that go into a deck you could differentiate this game for high/low skill with fractions. Additionally you could make one deck of numerators and another deck of denominators.
  •  
    A good game for improving students' ability to compare fractions.

    CCS: 3.NF.1 Really fun and active way to make learnin fun. By allowing them to shoot paper wods into the trash can, chart the makes and misses, and then compute the data into fractions, we can get them interested and engaged in a topic that can be intimidating to some kids.

      4.NF.2  Compare two fractions with different numerators and different denominators, e.g., by creating common denominators or numerators, or by comparing to a benchmark fraction such as 1/2. Differentiation: For gifted students, change the required amount of pizzas in a row, column, or diagonal.
  •  
    In this activity students are to compare fractions and capture/eat the most pizzas.

      5.NF.1  Add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators by replacing given fractions with equivalent fractions in such a way as to produce an equivalent sum or difference of fractions with like denominators. Differentiation: Have gifted students go a step further.  Time them to race against each other in how fast they can collect 16 cards.  Reward PR's!
  •  
    This activity helps students to practice solving proportions.  STudents will make fractions out of playing cards and then practice making them equivalent and solving the proportion.

      Sticky Note: This would also be a great activity to attach to fractions because you have to be able to understand fractions to put the ingredients in the correct places. It could also be used in younger grades where groups are making one together or the class creates one together and discusses our responsibilities to keep the earth clean.

    3.2.6 Describe how the properties of earth materials make them useful to humans in different ways. Describe ways that humans have altered these resources to meet their needs for survival.

      You can adapt this lesson by using smaller numbers until the concept is grasped, then you can move to larger numbers

      You could extend this activity to higher grades by using higher fractions, adding or subrtacting fractions, or for younder geades by using number cards instead of a deck of cards to help them identify numbers.

      This game could be used in younger grades (K and 1st) by having the students use a regular deck of cards and finding four numbers of the same kind instead of equivalent numbers. Higher advanced students could use a deck of cards with harder fractions and percentages. They could also create their own decks of cards to play with. Lower ability students could use decks of cards were they have to find two fractions and/or two percentages instead of four different equivalent numbers.
  •  
    In this version of the classic card game, students gain a solid understanding of basic equivalents, while having so much fun they may not realize it's a math review.

    Fractions with color tiles.  Allows students to record their findings on graph paper.  Make a game of it by trading papers, and allowing the other student to attempt to build the other student's fraction bar without peeking at the answer.
  •  
    I made a copy of this activity. It's simple yet effective (and I have a set of colored plastic tiles that I only use when discussing area, so this is a great additional use for them.)

    Perfect for showing graphically what fractions are. Can be used for other grade levels. Different objects can be used with this activity. Instead of just coloring paper squares, you could used a piece of pizza worksheet or a cake worksheet.

      Sticky Note: This would be a great beginning activity to describe the 3 states of matter. Also could be manipulated to be turned into a math activity where students = different fraction lengths (12 kids =1 whole...what would 6 kids equal, etc.)

    2.1.1. Observe, describe and measure ways in which the properties of a sample of water (including volume) change or stay the same as the water is heated and cooled and then transformed into different states.

      you can extend this activity to KG or 1st grade by using single digit numbers 1-9 and then once they have mastered these you can use numbers 11-20. To extend this activity for older grades add additional steps by having them solve a multiplication or division problems and them comparing the answers or use fractions and compare greater than, larger than, or equivalent fractions.

      you could do this with subtraction for advanced students or you could adapt it by giving them a sheet with problems already solved and they have to try to match their turns with all of the problems. (this would be good for memorizing)

      I didn't see a Common Core standard posted for this activity.

      You could adapt this for students wth special needs or ELL students by paiting them with at level students and giving them counters and ganizer mats to help them visualize addition.

      You can extend this lesson to 3rd or 4th grade by chaning the rules. FOr 3rd grade they can multiple instead of add and for 4th grade you can have them adding or subtracing fractions or decimals.

      Math Fact Bingo: this would be a great addition to review day where kids are rotating between activities that are focused on skills from a specific unit. It would also be great to add counting bears or other manipulatives to allow kids the ability to use several intelligences while doing this activity (kinesthetic, visual, logical, verbal)
