Fraction Activities & Printables

When learning a new math concept, I always find it helpful to provide multiple ways to practice to ensure understanding and mastery. 

The kids are learning fractions right now with mixed reactions. I'm hoping that these fraction activities and printables will help them better understand fractions and bring a little fun to our learning process.

There are so many fun ways to teach fractions that can engage children sensory wise and through their preferred learning style.

The fraction activities and printables below are my go to resources after searching the web for ideas that would be attractive and inviting to my kids.
