Know Your Fractions – Complete Conceptual Understanding Bundle are task cards designed to provide students with opportunities to improve their understanding of a range of fractional concepts.
Converting between improper fractions and mixed numbers is an important step and time needs to be invested to allow students the chance to build their confidence to do so fluently. Likewise, simplifying and the ability to recognize an equivalent fraction quickly and easily is a skill that takes practice.
The student with a developed ability to convert with fluency will ensure more complex fractional concepts introduced in high school are met with an established confidence.
In Concept Switch, students will add and subtract fractions (Level 2 only add); however, the cards are specially designed so that students are required to mentally switch between different fractional concepts for every card.
As students work through the questions, they develop a greater understanding of the variety of ways a fraction can be visually represented. This requires a higher level of thinking than simply adding fractions that continuously uses the same visual representation.
While setting an overall time limit is useful, it is important not to overstress time and urgency as students require a slightly deeper concentration to work properly and should be encouraged to work at the pace that works for them.
The fractional concepts included in the cards include:
Although these cards are commonly used as task cards, they have also been used successfully in math centers or rotations.
