Fall Comparing Fractions Worksheets & Take-Home Packet | Grades 4–5 | Benchmark & Equivalent Fractions | Differentiated Math Centers & Sub Plans | No Prep

Fall comparing fractions practice that builds math confidence along with the skills: 4 strategy lessons kids can use on any two fractions, calm self-regulation tools and their own skill tracker, in 3 differentiated levels for 4th and 5th grade. No prep math centers, sub plans and homework that help kids picture the pieces and trust their thinking, including the kid who freezes up on math.

• Every kid can engage, even when the math is hard. Calm extras on every page (color, doodle, trace and breathe, circle Wow!) help kids slow down and picture it. Math anxiety friendly, with social emotional learning (SEL) and self-regulation built right in.
• Builds executive function skills and confidence, not just speed. Created by a math tutor and certified executive function coach. Kids choose a strategy (same size pieces, the half test, make them match, missing pieces), name it and fix their own mistakes. Their own Fall Skill Tracker shows their growth.
• 3 differentiated levels of every activity. Level 1 bridges into 4th grade (same top or same bottom, 3.NF.3d), Level 2 is 4th grade different bottoms and the half test (4.NF.2) and Level 3 stretches into 5th grade with tricky fractions and mixed numbers. Made for math centers and small groups.
• No prep, and a ready-made sub plan. Self-checking activities, a Pumpkin Race board game with a fold-under answer strip, standards on every page and complete answer keys.
• A ready-made send-home page for parents. Math Strategies at Home explains same bottom number, same top number, the half test, make them match and missing pieces.
• Black and white, low ink, easy to focus. Calm, printer-friendly pages made to color.
• Lasts all season. Pies, apples and pumpkins from September through Thanksgiving. Nothing spooky.
