Clipboard Math

Clip a fraction worksheet on a clipboard. Have your student figure out the answers to the fractions by looking at the banner.

Fraction Wall Walk

Have students start at the top with one whole. Students will point to one whole and say “one” Then, they will move on to ½ and count how many ½ are in a whole. Continue down the banner until they get to the bottom, counting how many of each fraction make up a whole.

Make A Whole

Have students stand in front of the wall banner and ask them how many of a certain fraction make up a whole. Have students point to each of the fractions that you ask, and count them out to tell you how many make up one whole. For example, you will ask a student “How many […]

Fly Swatter

In this activity, students will need a fly swatter. The teacher will say a certain fraction that makes up a whole, and the student has to run up and smack the fraction with the fly swatter. For example, the teacher might say “6 of these make up 1 whole” and the student is to run […]

Adding or Subtracting Like Fractions

Have students choose 2 or more fractions with the same denominator on the wall banner and add/subtract the two fractions together.

Adding or Subtracting Unlike Fractions

Have students choose 2 or more fractions with different denominators and add/subtract the 2 fractions together. Work on finding the least common denominators together.

Least Common Denominators

Have students choose 2 fractions that have different denominators, and work together to find the least common denominator of those fractions.

Create Fibonacci Numbers

Have a student begin at START HERE. Have them follow this pattern down the mat: Hop to the red block and say, “one.” Hop on the green zero block and say, “zero.” Hop on the red one block and say, “plus one,” Hop on the blue one block and say, “equals one.” Hop on the […]

Complete the Pattern

Cover up one or several blocks on the mat. Have students say the missing number out loud as they hop through the mat.

Wild Worksheet

Have students complete the worksheet on the following pages using the mat to help them.
