Print out the graphics on the following pages and have students match each with its word on the mat.
On note cards, write numbers (for x column) and several different functions. Place a function notecard at the top of the y=f(x) column. Students will solve the functions for y and place their answer on a notecard in the right column. Task card examples:x=4+6x=3+8x=9 x 5x=2+9x=3 x 7x= 10 + 2X= 24+ 6x= 10 -5X= […]
How many thirds in 5? Have your student count how many thirds are in five by stepping on each third while counting their steps from one to ten. If your student’s counting is out of sync with his/her steps, have them go back and start over. Have students do this for fourths as well.
This floor mat offers a visual opportunity for students to understand the relationships between fractions greater than one and mixed numbers. For example, to have your student figure out the mixed number equivalent to 7/3, ask your student, “How many whole numbers are in 7/3?” Have your student step on 7/3. Ask how many whole […]
Notice that this floor mat has pictures that represent the whole and fraction parts of each number. The fraction 7/3 has two squares filled in with black and one of the third square filled in with black. Have your students use the shaded squares to help their comprehension of mixed fractions.
On index cards, write +1/3, +2/3, etc. Have your student select a number on the mat to stand on. Have your student select a card from a large hat or box. Have the student walk on the mat as they add or subtract depending on the card they drew. If working with fourths, have different […]
Have your student start on START HERE. Have the student say “one third” while hopping with one foot in the 1/3 box. Then have the student jump (two feet) on the 2/3, clap and say, “two thirds.” Continue alternating between one foot and two-footed movements to the end of the mat. Repeat activity for fourths. […]
Throw a bean bag on the Fraction Walk Floor Mat. Move to the bean bag, alternating between one and two-footed movements. Pick up the bean bag and say all of the equivalent fractions underneath where the bean bag landed.
Have a student select a fraction and stand on it. Then, have the student hop on all of its equivalent fractions. The activity should go on until the student has reached all fractions equivalent to the one on which they started. Then, have them select another fraction or have the next student take a turn. […]
Have a student toss two bean bags onto the mat. Then, have the student add or subtract the numbers. To make this activity easier, make sure they toss the bean bags in the same column (only thirds or only fourths). To make this activity more difficult, have them toss one bean bag on the thirds […]
