Showing Results for partition rectangles

Students will learn out how to partition a rectangle using by partitioning shapes with rows and columns.

Let's divide! In this hands-on lesson, your students will get in on some fraction action when they pair up to create and compare fraction models with the same denominator.

2D shapes are all around us! In this lesson students will explore the properties of four different shapes—triangles, circles, rectangles, and squares! They will learn that they can find these shapes anywhere in the world around us.

It’s pizza time! Students will be introduced to the concept of partitioning shapes to create fractions that demonstrate halves, fourths, and eighths. This lesson is the first of two lessons that address second grade fraction concepts.

Allow your students to explore the pros and cons of different strategies used to find the area of rectangles. Use this as a stand alone lesson or as a pre-lesson for the Multiplication and Area in the Community Garden lesson.

Use this lesson to help your students learn about partitioning shapes into parts with equal areas. Students will explain rectangular shape area in fractions of a whole.

In this lesson, students will practice identifying and modeling equivalent fractions by using number lines.
