hershey bar fractions

Teaching fractions using Hershey bars has always been a favorite of mine and I know that you and your students will love it too! I have used real candy bars in the past but they make for sticky fingers, desks and are not really good for eating afterward! These printable Hershey bars and worksheets/workmats are just the solution! This recently expanded packet includes all of the printables you need to have your class partition rectangles (candy bars) and model fractions of a whole in halves, thi

Hershey’s Bar Fractions is a timeless lesson that teaches conceptual understanding of unit fractions, and their equivalent fractions. 3rd grade CCSS math standards in the Numbers and Operations-Fractions domain (3.NF.A.1, 3.NF.A.3.A, 3.NF.A.3.B) are covered in this lesson through discovery, a real life example, vocabulary, practice with visuals, review, and written reflections. Students learn that 1/2 is more than 1/12. Students learn equivalent fractions, such as 1/3 is equivalent to 4/12. Th

This is a great way to make fractions hands on in your classroom! Model breaking the Hershey Bar into the different fractions... twelfths, sixths, fourths, thirds, and halves. I give each student their own Hershey Bar and we work together through these worksheets. Students can shade in the fractional part on the Hershey Bar image that is beside each fraction. This packet comes with an introductory note sheet that you will guide your students in completing. There are also worksheets for each

This Hershey's Bar activity includes a life size Hershey's Bar template that can be used as manipulatives to understand fractions and multiplication. It can be used with the Fraction and Multiplication Hershey's Bar (book not included - must be purchased through Scholastics) or used individually. These hands on Hershey's Bar will engage students and help them understand why concepts in math are important and can be used in real life. I would recommend printing them cardstock and laminating for d

Fractions can be tricky! Add a Hershey Bar and fractions become fun and easy!

This 22 page SMART Notebook file accompanies the book "Hershey Bar Fractions," by Jerry Pallotta. It introduces fractions with pictures, equivalent fractions, whole numbers, subtracting fractions, and simplifying/reducing fractions. It can also be used as a stand alone activity - the book is not required.

This Common Core State Standards Hershey Bar Differentiated Fractions Pack is appropriate for 3rd and 4th grade, and supports standards 3.OA.D.8, 3.NF.A.1, and 3.NF.A.3.d. Students are asked to complete comparing fractions word problems using numbers, pictures, and words. The second word problem is a multiple step problem. Answer keys for each set of word problems are available within the set. Skills addressed include basic fractions, comparing fractions, and multiple-step word problems. Tasks i

Add some sweetness to your assessment. Assess your students using Hershey chocolate bars. Quiz includes 1 whole, one half, and one fourth

Students will use a Hershey Bar to explore the equivalent fractions: 1/2 = 6/12 1/3 = 4/12 1/4 = 3/12 1/1 = 16/16

This is a delicious way for students to explore unit fractions. It is inquiry based and guides students into discovering unit fractions on their own.

Who doesn't love to learn with Chocolate?With this resource, you will need a small (4 square) Hershey's chocolate bar. You will model for the students, or give each kiddo their own small candy bar to manipulate into fractionsMake it a story.....1 whole:Teacher: "Mrs. Henry doesn't want to share any of her candy bar today. How much does she get to eat all to herself?"Class: "ALL OF IT"......"the WHOLE thing"One Half:Teacher: "Mrs. Henry wanted to share her Hershey's bar with Mrs. Heisterberg, wha

3.NF.3A, B, and C are addressed as students use a Hersheys candy bar to discover equivalent fractions. Differentiated for struggling learners as well.

I would use this to introduce comparing fractions to my class. We would discuss different fractions and then see who could chose the largest one. I would have each student make a Hershey Bar Fraction Booklet and then after doing the assessment we would celebrate by eating a small Hershey Chocolate bar.

Who doesn't love to learn with Chocolate? With this resource, you will need 3 large Hershey's chocolate bars. You will model for the students (unless you want each kiddo to eat a large Hershey's bar)! Make it a story.....Teacher: "Mrs. Henry wanted to share her Hershey's bar with Mrs. Heisterberg, what could she do so that each person got the same amount....so it would be EQUAL?" Class: "Split it in half!", "Break it into 2 parts!"Continue on with needing to share it with 3 people and then 4 pe

This PowerPoint presentation is an introduction to fractions, fraction parts, comparing fractions, and adding fractions. It uses Hershey's chocolate bars to help students visualize parts of a whole. The PowerPoint is 18 slides long, and I also have a spreadsheet that students complete after viewing the presentation.

This activity is great to review and conceptually see what happens when you multiply fractions. First students use the paper Hershey's bar to show how they can make halves, thirds, fourths, sixths and twelfths. Then they work with a partner to visual see what a whole number times a fraction is. Finally, they work up to conceptually see how to take a half of a third using their Hershey's bar. **you can also purchase actual Hershey's bars for the students to complete the second half of this acti

This includes a class set of 21 questions from a set of 7. The questions can be differentiated based on the level of students current understanding. I created and used this for 5th graders.

I use Jerry Pallotta's Hershey Bar Fraction book to go with this activity sheet. There were some pages I skipped because of standards and time. This activity lasted about 20min. The students loved it because they were required to do what the pages asked, but it gave them accountability to write down what they found. I used REAL Hershey bars, but you can also use brown paper as well. They loved eating them at the end as a reward for their hard work. This sheet was designed to meet South Car
