Teaching your students how to multiply 1-digit and 2-digit fractions through puzzles is a fun and engaging way for them to practice their math skills. Puzzles challenge students to use critical thinking and problem-solving skills while reinforcing important mathematical concepts. By incorporating puzzles into the classroom, you can make learning more interactive and enjoyable for your students. This method also allows for hands-on learning as students physically manipulate pieces to find the correct answers. Additionally, puzzles provide immediate feedback, allowing students to self-assess their understanding of the material. Overall, using puzzles to teach multiplying fractions not only helps students grasp the concept more effectively but also makes learning fun and enjoyable.

THIS RESOURCE INCLUDES:

🟢 Puzzle #1: Multiplying 1 Digit & 2 Digit Fractions

🟢 Puzzle #2: Multiplying 2 Digit Fractions

OBJECTIVES:

The learner will multiply two fractions together by multiplying the numerators and denominators. The learner will simplify the answer to multiplication.

☑ For secondary — middle school and high school students

These 30 follow me cards are a great way to revise compound and reverse percentages including increasing and decreasing, and compound interest and depreciation.

Play is similar to dominoes, where the cards are placed end to end with the question to the answers, but each question only has one answer. Students connect the questions and answers together forming a chain, with questions steadily getting harder.

A calculator is recommended for the final 15 questions at least.

Some ideas for how to use follow me cards:

• Have students race to connect the cards.
• Have a treasure hunt, around the classroom or outside. Students start with the starter card and record the solutions in the table.
• Students each take ownership of a card, and then get themselves in line correctly with the answers. If there are more than 30 students, assign some students as ‘managers’. If there are less than 30 students, the first students to connect their cards can be given the remaining cards.
• Cut each card in half and give the students a matching activity. They can then glue the answers into their books.

For an advanced start, begin on page two of the record sheet (the first card number is given).

Level Ups are a fun way to challenge your students to complete various levels of mastery on working with integer exponents. Aligned to the common core standards, Level Ups provide 5 levels of challenge for your students to complete, starting with pre-requisite exponent and fraction skills all the way up to simplifying complex expressions involving integer exponents.

Students start at level zero and work their way up to level 4, giving them accurate feedback on what they have mastered, and what they still need to work on. This lesson works as a great way to review integer exponents after teaching the concept, or as preparation for an upcoming assessment.

This activity includes:

• Suggested activity instructions (based on how I run this in my classroom).
• Five levels with 8-10 questions each.
• Complete answer keys for each level.

A special thanks to Lindsay Bowden for this math maze template. Are you looking to make math more fun for your students, or distant learners? This maze worksheet is great to distribute for classwork, homework, math centers, early finishers, or extra practice. These mazes are designed so the student is able to work out each multiplication fraction problem so they can determine the correct direction to complete the maze. It is also designed for easy grading for the teacher.

PDF, Google Slides & PowerPoint versions as well as the answer key are included.

TIP: If you are using this maze for math centers, simply laminate and use dry erase markers. You can use Expo Cleaner with a Magic Eraser to clean off. After a while, it will leave residue and you may have to print and laminate another.

This skill-focused bundle offers a spiral check review ( assessment ), meticulously crafted to prepare your students and special education students for each 3rd grade fraction lesson topic: Equal and unequal parts, identify and shade fraction models, fractions on a number line, fraction word problems, equivalent fractions, compare and order fractions. Aligned with the Common Core Standards (CCS), this resource provides a comprehensive foundation in fractions. Additionally, you'll discover introduction activities designed to reinforce key concepts. It is also excellent to review 3rd grade fraction standards that your 4th graders have forgotten or didn't learn.

I organized the resources into one PDF to make it easier to use as a spiral review. All the pages are in black and white, and you'll find the colored versions in some resources separately.

Students will practice:

1. Equal and unequal parts of a whole.
2. Identify and divide shapes to get halves thirds and fourths.
3. Identify unit fraction of a whole.
4. Understand fraction notation using models: fraction bars and circle models.
5. Shading frations of different models.
6. Fraction of a set and fraction of a group.
7. Naming fractions using words.
8. Decompose fractions into unit fractions.
9. Fractions on a number line: plot points, Improper fraction ...
10. Fractions word problems using models.
11. Equivalent fractions with fraction bars, number lines and circles.
12. Simplify fractions amd whole numbers as fractions.
13. Compare fractions with like denominators and unlike denominators using models.
14. Order Fractions with same numerators and with same denominators.

✔️I aimed to make this resource Montessori-style by prioritizing simplicity and clarity to minimize distractions and emphasize the learning experience.

✔️This bundle is suitable for 3rd graders but can be considered grade-neutral, making it very useful for extra practice and enrichment purposes.

This is a fun non curricular thinking task that goes beyond just asking students to convert rational numbers to other forms and put them in order. It provides students with an opportunity to think more deeply about the relative sizes of rational and irrational numbers and strategically choose which shapes to place where.

There are many valid approaches and answers to this task so it is a great way to start the year and build a thinking classroom.

This includes both a version made for 5th, 6th, or 7th grade with mixed numbers and decimal side lengths as well as a version for 8th/9th grade which includes square roots as well.
