Fractions Worksheets | Understanding Fractions Worksheets Welcome to the fractions worksheets page at Math-Drills.com where the cup is half full! This is one of our more popular pages most likely because learning fractions is incredibly important in a person's life and it is a math topic that many approach with trepidation due to its bad rap over the years. Fractions really aren't that difficult to master especially with the support of our wide selection of worksheets. This page includes Fractions worksheets for understanding fractions including modeling, comparing, ordering, simplifying and converting fractions and operations with fractions. We start you off with the obvious: modeling fractions. It is a great idea if students can actually understand what a fraction is, so please do spend some time with the modeling aspect. The other fractions worksheets on this page are devoted to helping students understand the concept of fractions.

Learn How to Measure Angles through Time! To help learn how to measure angles take a look at the two clocks that are shown here. The red line segments that are drawn over the hands of the clocks are the sides of the angles. The measure of the angles deals with the distance between the two hands of the clock. The most common way to measure an angle is by degrees. Use the following colors to understand the examples below: When both sides of the angle are on top of each other, the angle is 0°. When both sides of the angle are completely opposite each other, the angle is 180°. We are interested in determining how far apart the two sides of the angle are when they are in between 0° and 180°. Take a look at the first example. along the line on the protractor. Now, take a look at the blue side of the angle. The blue line goes across the numbers 40° and 140°. Again, we lined up the red side of the angle along the line on the bottom of the protractor. Answer: 80° Hopefully you now know how to measure angles.
Comparing Fractions: Like Numerators or Denominators - Math Coach's Corner What is the difference between teaching for knowledge and teaching for understanding? Isn’t that a great question? I just started reading the book Creating Cultures of Thinking, and author Ron Ritchhart tackles that issue head on (pg 47). Understanding requires knowledge, but goes beyond it. Sadly, in mathematics, we’ve been teaching fractions without understanding for years. A quick look at the progression of the standards for comparing fractions shows that both the CCSS and the Texas TEKS are now more aligned with teaching for understanding and recognize that students should employ multiple methods for comparing fractions: Notice that the foundation for comparing fractions is laid in 2nd grade, which is when students learn the meaning of the denominator–more fractional parts (a larger denominator) means smaller parts. Comparing Fractions with Like Denominators When fractions have the same denominator, e.g., 3/6 and 5/6, it’s kind of like comparing apples to apples.
Grid Paper PDFs Free Online Graph Paper / Grid Paper PDFs Downloadable and very printable, I find these PDFs extremely useful. Tip number one! Though I do return the correct header for a PDF, sometimes Explorer gets confused when downloading... Tip number two! Some people may need to turn off the option in Adobe's Acrobat reader "shrink to fit" which may resize the grid slightly to fit your printer's printable area. Tip number three! If you want the hexes aligned with the other edge of the paper, just make your paper size "11 x 8.5" and print the result in landscape mode!

Fractions Cool Carney Home - Educator Resources - Parent Resources 3rd Grade - 4th Grade - 5th Grade - 6th Grade back to top Fractions Teach Multiplication Using Base 10 Blocks This video is pretty self explanatory, so I won't put too much here in the way of words. People don't read these posts much anyway just look at the pictures and watch the videos...so: But for those interested in a little more in the way of training for parents or teaches, with little kids you don't need to write symbols to start. (By little kids I mean 6 and under.) Here again I want to drive home the point that all we are doing is counting and basically I am teaching him to count and count quickly using fractions manipulatives. Introduce skip counting early and sing songs and play and this whole problem can be avoided...too many teen-agers have this exact same problem, they are having trouble with math (particularly algebra) because they can't even multiply and having a calculator doesn't help. They were trying to spare students the pain of memorization and drill.
Reducing Fractions to Lowest Terms Advertisement. EnchantedLearning.com is a user-supported site. As a bonus, site members have access to a banner-ad-free version of the site, with print-friendly pages.Click here to learn more. (Already a member? Click here.) A fraction is in its simplest form (this is also called being expressed in lowest terms) if the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), also called the Greatest Common Divisor (GCD), of the numerator and denominator is 1. Equivalent Fractions: Equivalent fractions are different fractions that are equal to the same number and can be simplified and written as the same fraction (for example, 3/6 = 2/4 = 1/2 and 3/9 = 2/6 = 1/3). To reduce a fraction to lowest terms (also called its simplest form), divide both the numerator and denominator by the GCD. You can do this because the value of a fraction is not changed if both the numerator and denominator are multiplied or divided by the same number (other than zero). Worksheets and Games to Print:
