Fractions



Fractions seems to be the topic that most students struggle with. I know in my own experience teaching third and fourth grades, this is where I spend most of my time. Yet, kids seem to quite never get it. And to top it off, they find fractions plain old boring.

I've created some resources to get kids excited about fractions. Why not? Teaching and learning fractions should be fun :)

This fraction sort game could be played with a partner and have team competitions to see which team finished first. Kids LOVE to compete. Why not have a fraction sort competition!

I've included cards to sort into different categories. This one asks students to compare fractions to 1/2 and then sort as follows:


They can also compare the fractions to 3/5 and sort that way

Or sort into whole numbers and not whole numbers


Try these activities with your students and let me know if they enjoyed them.
