PowerPoint Fractions-Comparing

Created by
Simple Concepts
This is an animated PowerPoint presentation on comparing fractions designed to illustrate how to compare 3 types of proper fractions: common numerators, common denominators and different numerators with different denominators. Each slide is designed with animation to allow pauses in between important concepts. These simple slides are purposely created to avoid clutter, which emphasize the most important concepts visually. This is the third in the series of my Power Point Fraction Presentations.

There are seven short word problems involving fractions in this collection. Each section of these worksheets is designed to engage and stimulate third and fourth graders for about 10 minutes.

Teaching style

I believe teaching is a hands on process and all learning should be applicable to real life. All five senses should be used if possible and all concepts can be explained in the simplest form. People of all ages can learn any concept if explained to them in their own language. Learning should be individualized and catered to the student and not the student conforming to the teacher. In our house, visual aids, story telling, hands on experiments/projects/experiences, and reading are the primary forms of learning.
