Grab this FREE Fraction Folder to help your learner{s} remember what they need to about fractions.
My daughter spent much of her school year working on concepts related to fractions. And although it was a fantastic curriculum, I found that as we moved onto new fraction concepts, she would sometimes forget some of the older concepts {even though the curriculum was spiral.}
I decided to create a fraction learning folder so she’d have one spot to access much of the content she’s learned over this school year. I’m calling it her “Fraction Folder,” and today, I’m sharing a coyp with you!

FREE Fraction Folder
Although my K-5 Math Folders {also a subscriber freebie} have a section about fractions, I wanted a folder entirely devoted to all the fraction-y things. So, here it is!
The concepts in the fraction folder include:
Understanding Fractions – definition, vocabulary, and how to represent them
The 3 Kinds of Fractions – proper, improper {I seriously had a high school teacher who called these “Dolly Parton fractions}, and mixed numbers
Equivalent Fractions – definition and how you find equivalent fractions
Special Fractions – fractions that make 1 and fractions that make a half
Converting Fractions – from mixed numbers to improper fractions
Adding and Subtracting Fractions – with similar and dissimilar denominators*
Multiplying and Dividing Fractions
Converting Fractions to Decimals
Fraction Lingo – half, third, fourth/quarter, etc.
Reducing Fractions using the GCF

Here are some images from the inside of my daughter’s folder.
I used colored file folders and stapled them together using my long-arm stapler to form a tri-fold folder. If you’re not sure how to do this, I explain that process in my Spelling Folder Post.
You can cut the pages out and assemble the concepts however you feel is right for your learner/s. You might even add other math concepts from my K-5 Math Folders.
*Note: The method shown on the folder for adding and subtracting fractions with different denominators is from the homeschooling math curriculum we use and love, Math-U-See Epsilon. I think it’s a genius way to teach it, especially at first.
