Less than $5 Middle School Fractions Activities

Competitive Practice:

My students love a competition. I designed this activity to practice finding common denominators while building on that competitive spirit.

Students have a pile of cards which they flip one at a time. Students find the least common denominator of the two fractions on their card. The student with either the highest or lowest common denominator (teacher's choice) will the hand. The game continues until one student has all the cards.

Students get to practice an important skill while having fun.

What's included:

• Instruction sheet.
• 24 fraction cards.

How is this product useful:

• Students enjoy a competition.
• Fun practice of finding common denominators.
• Easy prep for teachers.
• Good for centers or review time.

PUZZLE TIME! It is time for your 4th grade Math students to practice equivalent fractions by playing this puzzle.

What's Included?

• 10 fraction pairs (in their correct pairs) to play with.
• Empty template (to write your own fractions)
• A recording sheet to write down equivalent fractions and describe how they are equivalent.

What is this and what should you do?

As the teacher, print out the sheets and cut out the puzzle pieces.
After mixing the puzzle pieces, students will have to rearrange them by placing the equivalent fractions together.

⭐Activity Alert⭐

Check the Simplifying Fractions Anchor Chart.

Here is also a Fractions' Dice Activity/Game to practice:

1. Generating equivalent fractions
2. Comparing fractions
3. Ordering fractions
4. Adding fractions
5. Subtracting fractions

Don't forget to share with me how it went with your little ones. I hope it was useful in your classroom.

This fraction, decimal and percentage matching puzzle is a fun way to test students ability convert between fractions, decimals and percentages. It contains 32 puzzles including all base fractions up to nine-tenths, and also includes a bonus ten-tenths to test understanding of a whole.

It is designed to be easily cut with little wastage. So either the teacher or tutor can prepare the cards by cutting them before hand, or students can cut their own cards, giving them a chance to see the solutions before they attempt the puzzle.

Although this product is made in colour, it prints perfectly well in black and white. Each puzzle is the size of an A4 sheet or US letter. To use less paper, select the pages per sheet option, and the puzzles will be smaller, but still high quality.

This activity is great to review writing ratios and finding equivalent ratios, especially in real-world examples! Students can find the equivalent ratio for the servings and write ratios to practice formations and order.

What this includes:

- Two booklets designed for independently or partner work.

- Examples of real world baking situations to use ratios.

- The ability to create a restaurant using ratios.

- How to incorporate visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning.

Want to know if your 7th grade math students can calculate a unit rate and compare proportional relationships in the same and different representation?

This presentation includes 10 questions (23 slides total) that has students work in groups to determine which statement is true between two given proportional relationships. Which has the higher unit rate? Which has the lower unit rate? Which of the two representations is actually proportional? Teams must be able to work together to determine the answer, then back up their answers verbally.

Great as a review activity before an exam, or as a mid-unit formative assessment to track progress towards mastery.

This lesson also includes a quick paper/pencil exit ticket students can do individually so you can assess each students' mastery of proportional relationships, with answer key included.

Included in Activity:

- Link to Google Slide Deck for classroom presentation

- Complete directions for how I like to run the activity

- Printable student answer choice cards

- Printable student Exit Ticket

- Complete Exit Ticket answer key

This is a fun activity for students to practice addition, subtraction, multiplication, and simplification of fractions by converting measurements for a recipe! The recipe comes from Sally's Baking Addiction, and it is her Peanut Butter Bars Recipe. This can be done as a whole group, in small groups, or by individual students. If you have the ability to have the students make the recipe after solving the puzzle, it is totally worth it! They will love being able to make something that they solved a puzzle for and have a delicious treat afterwards.

Students will be given a list of ingredients that have "weird" measurements on them. They will need to convert all of the measurements into the simplest form. Students will have to add, subtract, multiply, divide, and convert fractions from improper fractions to mixed numbers and put all of the measurements into simplest form. Once students solve the puzzle and get the correct answers that match the answer key, then they will receive the steps to prepare the Peanut Butter Bars/Cups. ** I recommend doing the bars. They are definitely easier to do, especially in a classroom setting, but the cups do look better. They both taste the same though.**

I hope you enjoy it and make something yummy! Please rate and review.
