My students have a lot of fun coloring in these notes designed to strengthen student understanding of fractions before we begin learning about ratios.

First I have students try to guess what words might go in the blanks. Then we complete the notes together, using different colors to keep track of the different parts of the fraction.

Once they are completed, I have students keep this sheet in a sheet protector in their binder. I often see student's going back to it as they complete practice problems.
