Your students will drool over these activities that will have them comparing fractional parts of a set and a whole, creating models for equivalent fractions, and measuring with fractions all with a sweet theme! It's critical thinking built into coloring fun! What's included: *comparing fractions ice cream craft *making chocolate and ice cream equivalent fraction models *measuring to 1/2 an inch *answer key included Enjoy!

This activity is designed to help your students understand that 1/2 and 1/4 are numbers on a number line and to master counting by halves and fourths. This activity is also the perfect pre-lesson to teach right before measuring length! One set of activities is for halves and the other is fourths, so you could do one or both depending on the level of your students! Included for both halves and fourths: 1. Introductory activity for students to add to their math notebook 2. Number Line sections f
