Fraction Walk (Halves & Quarters)

This is Fraction Walk Halves & Quarters floor mat. The five color groups – red, pink, blue, green, and orange – shown on the mat equate to one whole number. The left columns contains halves, the middle column is whole numbers, and the right is quarters. 

Next to each fraction is a visualization as it relates to the whole. Students can hop up and down the mat to practice identifying, adding, or subtracting fractions. They can also hop across the mat to practice equivalencies. The purpose of the Fraction Walk is to support students’ understanding of fractions (particularly halves and quarters) as portions of a whole
