Fraction Activity
Fractionscan be a tricky topic for kids.
The idea that bigger numbers are smaller fractions is confusing until you see the reason why.
But many people never get the chance to see the reason.
They just accept that bigger numbers and smaller fractions and memorize the ideas.
But math depends on understanding, not just memorization.
Children in grade 1 and grade 2 will enjoy with hands-on way forpracticing fractionswhile having fun.
Thefraction printablespdf file will open in a new window for you to save the freebie and print the template.
We just used card stock and they held up well.
But once they are past the basics on fractions, teachingequivalent fractionsandhow to compare fractionsis the next challenging task!
I love using the pencil fraction cards as a visual to fractions.
Notice that all of the pencils are the same exact length.
But for fractions as large as 1/5 and 1/6, it should be accurate enough.
A great example is comparing 2/3 and 3/6.
Roll and Color a Fraction
There are multiple fraction worksheets to enhance the fraction cards.
The first is roll and color fractions.
The printable set comes with a fraction die.
Put it together, then roll it and see what you get!
Color (or dab) the fraction youve rolled until theyre all gone.
This page can also be used with little coins or something to just cover the fractions.
Then the page will be reusable.
Fraction Worksheets
The second page is a graphing page.
Again, use the die to graph the fractions youve rolled!
