EASYTEACHING.NET

Overview:

A blank fraction wall featuring halves, thirds, quarters, eighths, and tenths.

Learning Objectives:

  • Develop an understanding of different fraction sizes.
  • Compare fractions visually using the fraction wall.
  • Explore equivalent fractions through visual models.

How the Activity Works:

This blank fraction wall serves as a versatile tool for various activities.

  • Fraction Comparison: Students can colour in sections of the wall to compare different fractions and identify which fractions are larger or smaller.
  • Equivalent Fractions: Have students colour sections of the wall and then label equivalent fractions, encouraging them to recognise relationships between fractions of different sizes (e.g., 2/4 is equivalent to 1/2).
  • Creating New Fractions: Ask students to partition the fractions further by dividing the existing sections into smaller units, such as showing halves of quarters, etc., to explore more complex fraction relationships.
