A hands-on lesson where students become space station architects, learning to calculate the total area of complex rectilinear modules by decomposing them into simpler rectangles.

A hands-on lesson focused on comparing and ordering fractions using benchmarks, common numerators, and common denominators through a maritime-themed sorting activity.

A high-energy lesson focused on comparing fractions through a competitive card game and supporting practice activities, perfect for short math rotations.

A collection of six high-energy rotation activities covering 3rd-grade Arizona math standards for fractions (NF.1, NF.2, and NF.3). Students engage with partitioning, number lines, equivalence, and comparison through worksheets, task cards, and hands-on sorting.

A high-energy math center rotation based on fraction standards NF.1, NF.2, and NF.3, themed around a car racing championship. Students navigate through color-coded 'Speed Zones' to practice equivalence, number lines, and comparison.

A fast-paced, collaborative lesson where students use a pizza parlor theme to master comparing fractions with either the same numerator or the same denominator. Students will visualize 'slices' to understand why a larger denominator actually means smaller pieces.

A fast-paced, collaborative lesson where students compare fractions using a food truck theme. Students learn to compare fractions with either the same numerator or the same denominator using visual models and logical reasoning.

A focused 15-minute practice session on interpreting line plots and adding fractions with like denominators based on data points.

A quick, 10-minute non-curricular task where students compare fractions with the same denominator through a relatable pizza-sharing scenario. Students will use visual models and comparison symbols to solve the 'Pizza Thief' mystery.

A lesson focused on comparing fractions with identical numerators using visual models and open number lines to understand the relationship between denominator size and fraction value.

A lesson focused on comparing fractions that have the same numerator but different denominators, using visual models and open number lines to build conceptual understanding.

A lesson focused on comparing fractions with common denominators using visual models and comparison symbols. Students will learn that when denominators are the same, the fraction with the larger numerator represents the larger quantity.

A carnival-themed math review covering 3-digit regrouping, multiplication/division facts, and fraction concepts through three interactive rotations.
