My students enjoy this activity and it really gets them thinking about fractions and geometry. For example, they will be asked to draw 20 bulbs and color 1/5 of them red. The project also touches on area and perimeter as well as some geometry vocabulary and usage. We use our Everyday Math Geometry Templates (can see image of one online), but the project can be adjusted for them to freehand draw the shapes. Challenging and engaging activity.

Here's a simple chart that my students add to their resource binder or interactive notebooks for determining divisibility. This really comes in handy when reducing fractions as well as checking division.
