Middle School Fractions Activities

Competitive Practice:

My students love a competition. I designed this activity to practice finding common denominators while building on that competitive spirit.

Students have a pile of cards which they flip one at a time. Students find the least common denominator of the two fractions on their card. The student with either the highest or lowest common denominator (teacher's choice) will the hand. The game continues until one student has all the cards.

Students get to practice an important skill while having fun.

What's included:

• Instruction sheet.
• 24 fraction cards.

How is this product useful:

• Students enjoy a competition.
• Fun practice of finding common denominators.
• Easy prep for teachers.
• Good for centers or review time.

Teaching your students how to multiply 1-digit and 2-digit fractions through puzzles is a fun and engaging way for them to practice their math skills. Puzzles challenge students to use critical thinking and problem-solving skills while reinforcing important mathematical concepts. By incorporating puzzles into the classroom, you can make learning more interactive and enjoyable for your students. This method also allows for hands-on learning as students physically manipulate pieces to find the correct answers. Additionally, puzzles provide immediate feedback, allowing students to self-assess their understanding of the material. Overall, using puzzles to teach multiplying fractions not only helps students grasp the concept more effectively but also makes learning fun and enjoyable.

These 30 follow me cards are a great way to revise converting between fractions, decimals and percentages, from simple ones where students are encouraged to learn by heart such as 50% 1/2 0.5, through to more challenging conversions such as 3/16 0.1875 18.75%.

Play is similar to dominoes, where the cards are placed end to end with the question to the answers, but each question only has one answer. Students connect the questions and answers together forming a chain, with questions steadily getting harder. For extra challenge, don’t use a calculator.

Some ideas for how to use follow me cards:

• Have students race to connect the cards.
• Have a treasure hunt, around the classroom or outside. Students start with the starter card and record the solutions in the table.
• Students each take ownership of a card, and then get themselves in line correctly with the answers. If there are more than 30 students, assign some students as ‘managers’. If there are less than 30 students, the first students to connect their cards can be given the remaining cards.
• Cut each card in half and give the students a matching activity. They can then glue the answers into their books.

For an advanced start, begin on page two of the record sheet (the first card number is given).

This activity is great to review writing ratios and finding equivalent ratios, especially in real-world examples! Students can find the equivalent ratio for the servings and write ratios to practice formations and order.

What this includes:

- Two booklets designed for independently or partner work.

- Examples of real world baking situations to use ratios.

- The ability to create a restaurant using ratios.

- How to incorporate visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning.

Want to know if your 7th grade math students can calculate a unit rate and compare proportional relationships in the same and different representation?

This presentation includes 10 questions (23 slides total) that has students work in groups to determine which statement is true between two given proportional relationships. Which has the higher unit rate? Which has the lower unit rate? Which of the two representations is actually proportional? Teams must be able to work together to determine the answer, then back up their answers verbally.

Great as a review activity before an exam, or as a mid-unit formative assessment to track progress towards mastery.

This lesson also includes a quick paper/pencil exit ticket students can do individually so you can assess each students' mastery of proportional relationships, with answer key included.

Included in Activity:

- Link to Google Slide Deck for classroom presentation

- Complete directions for how I like to run the activity

- Printable student answer choice cards

- Printable student Exit Ticket

- Complete Exit Ticket answer key
