You know what’s neat about fractions?
You can use basically ANY manipulative with them!
You don’t need to go out and buy new ones – most likely your school or fellow teachers will have all the manipulatives you need!
My number one favorite?
Dominoes.
If your school doesn’t have these, I highly recommend grabbing a set.
Here are some manipulatives that work great with fractions – and I bet that either you or a coworker has some of these lying around!
Picture books….. in math?!
It sounds bizarre, but making those real-life connections with fractions is so important.
I love using picture books in math to introduce a topic, or during math centers to reinforce real-life math applications.
Read the Fraction Picture Book post HERE!
Use an interactive notebook. Try out a digital product. Find some fraction games.
By using lots of different materials and resources to teach fractions, one of the ways may really click for a student.
Some students may love independently doing a digital and interactive lesson, while others may love cutting out and gluing down parts of a fraction.
I have a few different fraction resources you can check out if you’re interested!
Click the links below to check them out:
Pizza. Cookies. Hershey bars. Cheerios.
I will ALWAYS equate fractions with food – for some reason, things really “click” as soon as food is involved.
Comparing 1/3 and 1/4 is a lot easier when you have a pizza in front of you (heck YES I want 1/4 of the pizza!).
Real-life connections at their tastiest!
Food makes a terrific and engaging lesson opener that you can do whole-group with students.
The lesson will be memorable for students (and tasty!).
An easy way to bring some fun into fractions?
Add some COLORING into your math block!
