Practical Practices

Here is a quick review of how to determine if a fraction is in simplest form and ways to check. Have students put fractions in simplest form on the bags of popcorn.

Have the students practice this as a worksheet or turn them into task cards. This is a great way to review for a unit test. These are single and multi-step word problems that use unlike fractions. All answers are in simplest form. There is no regrouping in this set of practice problems.

Played like BINGO, but in pairs, students will take turns naming factors to make a "BINGO" on their board. This activity is a great way to review finding factors. There are two different sets of factors to work with.

Here is a paired activity to use as an exit ticket, a quick practice, or center to practice ordering 4 fractions. There is a place for students to write out their problem solving thinking process. Task cards are provided that can be used for many other activities (naming fractions, fraction war-comparing, and ordering). **Printed on 11 x 7 paper.

Need a way to increase rigor? Here is a cut and paste activity for equivalent fractions. You can even use the fractions as a memory matching game or war!
