About this resource
Description
A fraction names an equal part of a whole, and young learners understand fractions best when they see them, say them and write them. This Fraction Action Fractions Activity helps 1st Grade, 2nd Grade and 3rd Grade students match the unit fractions from one half to one tenth in three ways: as a picture, as a number and in words.
Students spread out the cards, pick a picture card and count its equal parts. Then they find the number card and the word card that match, making a set of three. When all nine sets are made, they check their work with the answer key. A practice worksheet asks students to count the equal parts and the shaded parts of circles and bars and write each fraction on their own.
What’s Included
- Colorful cover page
- How to Use page with simple steps
- 27 fraction cards: 9 pictures, 9 numbers and 9 number words
- Count and write the fraction practice worksheet
- Fraction card sets answer key
- Practice worksheet answer key
Why This Activity Helps Kids
First, matching one fraction three ways builds a strong picture of what the numerator and denominator mean. Second, seeing halves through tenths side by side shows that more equal parts make each part smaller. Third, the hands-on matching game keeps students talking about fractions with a partner.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Use this 1st grade fractions activity in a math center, a small group or at home. Time how fast a group can make all nine sets, play a memory game with the cards face down, or line up the picture cards from the biggest part to the smallest. Keep the Fraction Action Fractions Activity cards in a bag for quick review all year.
