Getting Ready

Prepping the puzzles took just a few minutes.

I printed off the complete set on cardstock to make them durable enough that we could use them again. Then, I cut along the lines to separate the pieces.

(If you’re using the puzzles in a classroom, you may want to laminate them, too.)

Fraction Puzzles

My second grader has been working on fractions for a little while now, so I knew he was ready to tackle the entire stack of puzzles at once.

We quickly reviewed what the numerator and denominator mean. The numerator on top tells us the number of pieces out of the total number possible shown by the denominator on the bottom.

He explained to me that the line in the middle always says “out of”, so if he’s reading 3/4, he would say, “three OUT OF four.”

Then came the fun! He grabbed one fraction topper at a time and read the words out loud. He then found the pieces that belonged below it.

Each puzzle had one piece showing the fraction in numbers plus two pictures showing different ways to draw it.

It was such a great way to see multiple versions of the same fraction in one spot!
