Fraction Activities

Introducing our Fossile Fractions Interactive Activity designed to help students understand how to place fractions on a number line! This engaging set includes 7 different activities that is perfect for both in class or remote learning.

With this set of interactive slides, students will be able to practise and reinforce their understanding of fraction placement on a number line in a fun and interactive way. Students will work on placing fractions with denominators that include 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8.

Our interactive activities include drag-and-drop exercises and fill-in-the-blank questions to help your students master this topic. 

Tips for Differentiation + Scaffolding 

A team of dedicated, experienced educators created this resource to support your maths lessons.

In addition to individual student work time, use this activity to enhance learning through guided maths groups, whole class lessons or remote learning assignments. 

If you have a mixture of above and below-level learners, we have a few suggestions for keeping students on track with these concepts: 

🆘 Support Struggling Students

For students needing a challenge, ask them to create number lines for other denominators, such as 5 or 10.

➕ Challenge Fast Finishers

If students need additional support, provide a physical copy of a number line they can write on with dry-erase markers to help them. Additionally, consider providing number lines that are already divided and labelled. Alternatively, you can cut a page protector and slide it over a computer to allow students to ‘draw’ on the screen with dry-erase marker to count the sections of the number lines as well.
