FRACTIONS comparing and finding equivalent fractions



The  activity below is one that I frequently use to support individual students in understanding equivalent fractions and simplifying.  It also helps them link their knowledge of the multiplication tables to their understanding of fractions.

COMPARING FRACTIONS
This strategy is great if the student is asked to compare or order fractions. 



A game I like to play with my students is to make a fraction with playing cards and pencils.   The winner is the player with the largest fraction.  This game can also be used to practice improper fractions and mixed numbers.
