Fractional Number Lines - Level 1
Student fills in missing values on each number line - 3 sets with solutions.
Also, the student must shade the correct number of boxes of a proper and an improper fraction on each number line.
Teacher should model on the first number lines for students.
Level 2 will add in Mixed numbers...
Level 3 will add in Decimals...

1.) Visual practice sheet - equal areas...
Students must realize that these two fractions are the SAME SIZE CIRCLES and GRIDS. That they are equivalent in shaded areas on each fraction.
I recommend to circle back and review every week for a month...quick review...reminder on equal areas...so there is sufficient repetition for students to ingrain a visual understanding of equivalent fractions.

Equivalent Fractions - General Understanding and Practice - Level 2 - FREE
Equivalent Fraction Understanding - Level 1 of this series demonstrates the equal areas of two equivalent fractions. However, in Level 2, the mathematical meaning is that the two fractions are equivalent due to the fact that they student is ACTUALLY multiplying by 1 WHOLE (2/2, 3/3, 4/4, etc.) - The Multiplicative Identity Property.
Level 2 is multiplication only.
However, the process is stair stepped. Level 2 only has missing denominators and numerators on the trailing fraction - which is t

Fractional Number Lines - Fractions, Mixed Numbers & Decimals - Level 4 - FREE
Number lines - one step in difficulty from Level 3.
Number lines begin at whole numbers - not zero. Hence, the student can find improper fractions at any point by using a whole number location on the number line - and the student is off to the races.
If students are only given discrete mixed numbers, proper fractions, improper fractions and decimals, then they 'float' in isolation. These number lines connect the elements in an application setting.

Equivalent Fractions...
A string of proper fractions and the students must fill in the missing denominator or numerator.
The student should be reminded that they are computing equivalent fractions by mathematically multiplying by 1 Whole in the form of an improper fraction (i.e. 2/2, 3/3, 4/4, etc.)
Students must know basic math facts. Procedure on this website wtih resources...Accelerated Math Fact Mastery...and the Readers' Digest version.

Proper Fraction to Decimals to Percents - with 100 Block Shading - FREE
This resource is FREE, and it allows the teacher to transition from proper fractions to EQUIVALENT decimals and percentages. It ties that progression together in an equivalency. It also adds the pictorial understanding of all three math elements with a shading of a 100 block. If these type of resources are not used, students do NOT connect the math elements and they view percentages or decimals or fractions as separate entities when they are all the same thing in just a different form.I hope

Multiplication and Division Pictorial Models - Decimals/Fractions - FREE
If you teach mathematics from 4th through 8th grade, this resource should be extremely helpful to you.Students need computational prowess, but they must understand the model - the physical model on what the computations represent. As an urban Title 1 principal, I worked with so many teachers that did not possess a clear view of these models that I made up as a "Cheat" sheet for them. Earlier this year, I cleaned up this resource.The model is complete for all fraction and decimal multiplication p

Equivalent Fractions - Lowest Terms Practice...
10 practice sheets...2 columns...plenty of room for the student to work the problems.
Hopefully, they have learned their math facts...and they reduce the fractions to simplest form...and then check to make sure that the GCF is 1 on the reduced fraction. "One and Done - LT Confirmed" is the expression we used at Graham so the student checked that the GCF was 1...and the REDUCED FRACTION was in Lowest terms.

Teaching Decimal Magnitudes - By Thinking Money - FREE
This video's main focus is teaching decimal magnitudes. Kiddos look at decimals and they do not really understand how 'big' they are or where they fit into their previously learned whole number schema.The video's intent is for teachers to treat decimals 'as if they were only money' since only the tenths and hundredths place values significantly affect the overall 'size' of the decimal.

Proper Fractions: Partitioning, Shading and Writing of Fractions - FREE
This resource is FREE. It consists of partitioning practice of halves, thirds, fourths/quarters, sixths and eighths of polygons and circles. This exercise is important for students to engage in understanding fractions from written name to partitioning, shading and writing of fractions in standard form. I included 'special' improper fractions of wholes: 2/2, 3/3, 4/4, etc. on each exercise so elementary students would have exposure in that concept from a visual perspective. A second semester
