4th Grade Fractions PowerPoint Lessons: Equivalent, Simplifying, and More!

Are you searching for a step-by-step PowerPoint that can be used to introduce fraction concepts to your 4th grade students in a way that will grab their attention? You've come to the right place! This 52-slide PowerPoint will introduce your students to many of the fraction skills identified in the 4th Grade Common Core State Standards. It covers equivalent fractions, least common multiple and simplifying fractions, greatest common factor and comparing fractions, and benchmark fractions. Each section includes many practice problems. Plus, this resource comes with a bonus set of exit tickets!

PowerPoints filled with visuals are ideal for teaching new content to students because PowerPoints tend to be highly engaging and concepts can be easily broken down into understandable chunks of information. But let's face it... they are so time-consuming to create! Fortunately, now you have an option of using one that is already complete, kid-tested, and ready to go for you!

This PowerPoint is designed to be used over the course of 4 days. Each day, use this PowerPoint to introduce a different fraction concept. The PowerPoint begins with a brief review of the terms "numerator" and "denominator". After the introduction section, there are five main sections to the PowerPoint:

1. Equivalent Fractions
2. Simplifying Fractions (and Least Common Multiple)
3. Comparing Fractions (and Greatest Common Factor)
4. Benchmark Fractions

Each section contains MANY practice opportunities!

This PowerPoint contains TWO EXTRA BONUS FEATURES!!

1. A PowerPoint companion handout is included in this file. As you advance through the PowerPoint, students can record their answers on the handout. The companion handout is available in both printable format or digital format. The digital version is compatible with Google Slides.
2. After each section of the PowerPoint, hand out a half-sheet exit slip and have students complete it independently. When you correct the exit slips, you are presented with immediate feedback on which students might need additional small group or individual instruction. The exit tickets are available in both printable format or digital format, as well.
