Common Core State Standards
Fifth Grade
Number and Operations-Fractions
Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication and division to multiply and divide fractions.
Lessons (3)
Introduces students to fractions and explores basic mathematical operations with fractions, comparing fractions, and converting fractions into decimals or percents.
Students and teacher play a game called "Fraction King" to understand the idea of taking fractional parts of whole numbers then use manipulatives and several computer applets to cement the idea.
Reinforces skills associated with multiplying fractions and mixed numbers.
Activities (5)
Determine the value of two given fractions represented as points on a number line. Then find a fraction whose value is between the two given fractions and determine its value. Fraction Finder is one of the Interactivate assessment explorers.
Students play a generalized version of connect four, gaining the chance to place a piece after simplifying fractions, converting fractions to decimals and percentages, and answering algebra questions involving fractions. Choose difficulty level, question types, and time. Fraction Four is one of the Interactivate assessment games.
Determine the value of two given fractions represented as points on a number line. Then find a fraction whose value is between the two given fractions (using an arrow on the number line as a guide) and determine its value. Fraction Pointer is one of the Interactivate assessment explorers.
Test your fraction skills by answering questions. This quiz asks you to simplify fractions, convert fractions to decimals and percentages, and answer algebra questions involving fractions. Choose difficulty level, question types, and time. Fraction Quiz is one of the Interactivate assessment quizzes.
Visualize fractions by coloring in the appropriate portions of either a circle or a square, then order those fractions from least to greatest. Fraction Sorter is one of the Interactivate assessment explorers.
