FRACTIONS

We have learned how to write fractions, using parts of a whole, naming fractions, and visualizing fractions. We have learned how to find equivalent fractions. We have also learned how to find the fractional part of a number, how to change improper fractions to mixed numbers and mixed numbers to improper fractions, and how to add and subtract fractions. This was a neat site to practice changing mixed numbers to improper fractions. Here is another cool site for equivalent fractions. This is a concentration game for equivalent fractions.
