TOPIC: Fractions

Fraction represents a part of a whole, or any number of equal parts. It simply describes
how many parts of a certain size there are.

Some activities to do to learn fractions:

1. Scavenger Hunt. One of the possible ways to assess and to check the students’ mastery
of using the concept of fractions in their daily lives. Since it allows the students to
practice problem-solving in a tangible way.
It will surely help them to reinforce and act-out methods that they have been
taught by teachers thus leading to increased retention of the said lessons. And in this
hands-on activity, students will work together as a team or groups to find real-world
example of fractions.
(Examples: the number of red flowers from the green ones, half liter of a water, or
a section of a sliced apple).
Instead of riddles, math equations will be used. (Shekinah)

2. Fraction Name Art. In this activity, students will be provided an opportunity to practice
with the concept of fractions as a part of a set. Students will use a 10x10 grid on a paper
and create their own design according to their name of initials by using one or multiple
colors.
Once students complete their design, they count the fraction for each color/s used,
and write it below their art. (Shekinah)

Example:
3. Fraction Matching Game/ Memory Game. Like any other game, the aim of this is to
match pairs of cards. And the game ends when all the cards have been matched in pairs.
This is designed to help children see or visualize fractions in many different ways
— by looking at range of images or flashcards. And, it will test the students’ ability to
recognize various equivalent fractions and their values. (Shekinah)

4. Fraction Flower/Pizza. Applicable for Kindergarten to Grade 2 students, since they are
mostly introduced to the concept of fraction. By its built, it is a fun way to learn and
practice the equal parts of a circle. (Steven)

Example:

5. Fraction Bingo. To play, simply have a player to roll the dice and fill in the fraction
accordingly. The first rolled number will serve as a numerator while the next one is
denominator. So, if a 3 and 4 are rolled you will mark the ¾’s in the bingo card.
