Introduction to Fractions Activity - Build a Fraction Friend Math Craft

Oh my! Your students will love building this adorable fractions friend, whether that's during your introduction to fractions week or as a fractions review activity!

How does this fractions math craft activity work?

• Print and copy the pages for your students.
• Your students will choose the fraction they want to shade in on the different body parts. For example, students may choose to shade in 2/4 for the arms.
• Students will cut out the pieces and assemble their fractions friend.

What happens next?

Have your students record their fractions on the recording sheet.

Then...

Tie in some writing into math class by having your students describe their fraction friend.
