Equivalent fractions worksheets with pictures

A recent addition to my site Homeschoolmath.net... free worksheets for equivalent fractions with pie images (or not... they're optional).

There are five problem types to choose from:
  1. Two fractions are given with 2 empty pie images to color in (e.g. 3/5 = 6/10).
  2. There are 2 pie images that are already colored; the student writes both fractions.
  3. Two pie images are given, one colored in, one not; the student writes both fractions.
  4. There are 2 pie images to color, one fraction is given, one not (e.g. 4/5 =    /    )
  5. Problems without any visual model; the student writes the missing numerator or denominator in one of the fractions (e.g. 2/3 =    /12).
 
Check them out! These are meant for grades 3 and 4 in the Common Core standards.

Meaning of factors in multiplication: four groups of 2, or 4 taken two times?

Someone asked me about the interpretation or meaning of the two numbers in multiplication, such as 4 × 2. Do you view it as four groups of 2 , or as four, taken two times ? Here's their question: "...I noticed that your explanation about how to interpret a math phrase, such as 4 × 2, is different from how I have understood it and taught it to my older daughter who was using RightStart Math at this level. Let me explain:  I see that you are using the first factor to denote number of groups and the second factor tells how many are in each group (4 × 2 would be interpreted 4 groups of 2).  On the other hand, I have taught and thought of it reversed, with the first factor telling how many are in each group and the second factor telling you how many groups (4 × 2 would be 4 taken 2 times).  I know that the difference in explanations does not ultimately change the product, but I am wondering what you thoughts are.  When I conceptually picture what I'm doing I see i...

Geometric art project: seven-circle flower design

Image
I got inspired by the blogpost Art School | Geometric Design with Islamic Art where Deborah shows how to make a neat flower design with seven circles , using a compass, and then coloring it using 2, 3, or 4 colors (or however many of your own). I think it ties in neatly with mathematics, and lets students practice drawing circles with a compass.  My girls loved the art/math project. Here are pictures they made: Here are step-by-step instructions for the flower design: 1.  Draw a line and a circle so that the circle's center point is on the line. Then mark the points where this circle intersects the line. 2. Use those points as center points, and draw two more circles. The radius is the same all the time, so make sure you don't change it on your compass!We used 5 cm as the radius, and that made the whole design fit neatly on a regular letter size paper. 3. Now note the two points marked in the picture. They will be used as center points in the next...
