Fractions can be fun when you have the resources to teach the content effectively. Upper elementary students learning about fractions – from the basics to operations with fractions – can benefit from a variety of ways to learn about fractions. Save the worksheets for homework and find new ways to teach fractions in your classroom!
I’ve used all of the following resources, videos, books, etc. in my own classroom.

First of all, I like to use VideoLink to link to all of the videos I use in the classroom. It ensures I don’t have any ads popping up before or during the video I’m showing – and it takes away the comments and other videos that come up on the sidebar.
