Counting By Fractions: Videos and Extension Activities

Students need to understand fractions as numbers. They may not be whole numbers, but they are still numbers! The difficult part is that fractions are an abstract idea for many of our students. Luckily, we can help our students build fraction understanding by incorporating concrete manipulatives and representational models. On this page, you’ll find free videos along with accompanying extension activities for several different “Counting By Fractions” activities. Use these to inspire a whole-class number talk or as a math warm-up to get your students thinking!
