Number lines and area models are both used pervasively in teaching fractions. Prior studies found that second and third graders demonstrated better magnitude knowledge of proper fractions after a 15-minute training using the number line as compared to using the area model. The current study aimed ...
Determine Equivalent Fractions using area model Use the given models to complete the equivalent fraction sentence. The colored pieces in each model show parts of the whole $\frac{}{6} = \frac{1}{3}$ The model has 2 colored pieces out of 6 total pieces So, the fraction with a denominato...
Unlock the world of area models for fractions through modern paintings with ExploreLearning Gizmos. Lesson plans included!
These puzzles are meant to help students understand fractions, as well as practice learning equivalent fractions. The visual models on each set of puzzles will help kids to see fractions as part of a whole and to help show that two fractions are equivalent to each other. I hope this provides...
#13 Equivalent Fractions Examples: I love this resource guide with worksheet examples, along with tutorials that use Legos to teach the concepts! #14 Using Area Models to Teach Fractions: This is an awesome (and FREE) Bundle. I love how the author shares exactly how she teaches it in the...
Leverage a few student models to consolidate this task. Consider sequencing them from most accessible to least accessible. Ultimately, we have designed these prompts to allow students to bump into multiplication of fractions using the area model. By partitioning a whole driveway into fourths, then ...
We can use various graphical methods and models to visualize larger fractions. Observe the figure given below which shows Model A and B that represent two fractions. We can easily determine that 4/8 < 4/6 because 4/6 covers a larger shaded area than 4/8. Note that the smaller fraction ...
The large area of the garden is filled with red flowers. So, Sally loves to grow red flowers the most. Red flowers cover 8/12 of her garden. Let's express the fraction 8/12 in its simplest form using the HCF method. Factors of 8: 1, 2, 4, and 8. And, factors of 12: 1, ...
• Comparing fractions with the same numerator or same denominator. Grade 4 • Multiplication of a fraction by a whole number introduced using fraction strip visual models and number lines. • Unit and non-unit fractions treated separately for clear understanding. ...
Part of the book series:International Perspectives on the Teaching and Learning of Mathematical Modelling((IPTL)) Abstract Fractions are a notoriously difficult area to master. The use of a fraction as an operator is one of the least commonly accessed sub-constructs of fractions. We explore the...
