Description

Your 3rd grade students will love finding Equivalent Fractions on a Number Line with this digital hands on Google Slides activity! Students will move dots to find equivalent fractions on a number line, showing they are the same distance from zero. These fun & engaging slides are perfect for practicing TEKS 3.3F and 3.3G and CCSS 3.NF.3a and 3.NF.3b.

What you will love about this resource:

• Every slide is bright and colorful to capture your students’ attention.

• Video Instructions embedded into the Google Slides make your job easier.

Video instructions for students are embedded in the activity:

1. Have students who forget instructions as soon as it is time for them to begin working? Students can watch the video instructions on finding equivalent fractions on a number line before completing the activity at a math station, for seatwork or homework.
2. Have students who are absent? The video instructions save you time so that you don’t have to explain how to complete the activity to students.
3. Have a sub? They can watch the video instructions so that they can offer support while students complete the digital activity.

Standards Alignment:

TEKS 3.3F Represent equivalent fractions with denominators of 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8 using a variety of objects and pictorial models, including number lines.

TEKS 3.3G Explain that two fractions are equivalent if and only if they are both represented by the same point on the number line or represent the same portion of a same size whole for an area model.

Common Core 3.NF.3a Understand two fractions as equivalent (equal) if they are the same size, or the same point on a number line.

Common Core 3.NF.3b Recognize and generate simple equivalent fractions, e.g., 1/2 = 2/4, 4/6 = 2/3). Explain why the fractions are equivalent, e.g., by using a visual fraction model.
