Fractions Resources
Teach fractions with confidence — visual models, hands-on activities, worksheets and games covering halves through to mixed numbers and equivalence.
21 resources availableFractions can be one of the trickiest concepts for primary students. Our fraction resources use visual models, number lines, hands-on manipulative activities and real-world contexts to build deep understanding. Find resources covering halves and quarters, equivalent fractions, comparing and ordering, improper fractions, mixed numbers, decimals and percentages.
About Fractions Resources
Fractions resources help Australian primary teachers build students' conceptual understanding of one of the most challenging and important topics in primary mathematics. The Australian Curriculum: Mathematics introduces fractions from Year 1 with halves and quarters, and progressively develops understanding of fractions, decimals, and percentages through to Year 6. High-quality fractions resources support teachers to move students beyond rote procedures to genuine understanding of fractional quantities and relationships.
TeachBuySell's fractions collection spans the full primary progression, from early half and quarter activities for Year 1 and Year 2, through equivalent fractions and mixed numbers in Year 3 and Year 4, to operations with fractions, decimals, and percentages in Year 5 and Year 6. Browse hands-on fraction activities using area and set models, fraction walls and number lines, equivalent fractions games, comparing and ordering activities, and real-world problem-solving tasks that make fractions relevant to students' everyday lives.
Fractions instruction is most effective when it builds understanding through multiple representations: concrete fraction models, visual diagrams, number lines, and symbolic notation. Many of our resources are explicitly designed around this multiple representation approach, helping students develop flexible, robust fraction understanding that will serve them throughout their schooling and beyond. Explore our fractions collection to find resources that demystify this often tricky topic and build real mathematical confidence.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are there fractions resources for early primary students (Year 1 and Year 2)?
Yes. We have a strong collection of early fractions resources covering halves and quarters, including hands-on sharing activities, visual fraction models, and simple problem-solving tasks appropriate for Year 1 and Year 2 students.
Can I find equivalent fractions resources?
Absolutely. Equivalent fractions is a key concept in Year 3 and Year 4, and we have many resources including fraction wall activities, number line work, games, and visual model explorations that build understanding of equivalence.
Are there resources for fractions, decimals, and percentages together?
Yes. For Year 5 and Year 6, we have resources that develop understanding of the connections between fractions, decimals, and percentages, including conversion activities, ordering tasks, and real-world problem solving.
Do fractions resources use concrete and visual models?
Many of our fractions resources are built around concrete and visual models such as fraction strips, fraction circles, area models, and number lines — helping students develop conceptual understanding before moving to abstract procedures.
Are there fractions games to make learning more engaging?
Yes. We have fractions games including card games for comparing and ordering fractions, equivalent fractions matching activities, and competitive whole-class games that make fractions practice fun and engaging.
