This video demonstrates how to use fraction tiles to multiply a fraction and whole number. Students should have experience with determining the fraction of a whole (2 x 2/3) before being introduced to determining the fraction of a fraction (2/3 x 3/4). Before students multiply fractions, they should understand the concepts of repeated addition and grouping as it is used with multiplication of whole numbers. Teachers can model how to create equivalent groups (such as two groups of 2/3). Students can then use skills of addition and converting improper fractions to mixed numbers to find the product.

This video demonstrates how to use fraction circles to add fractions with unlike denominators. After a teacher models how to appropriately use fraction circles to solve addition problems, students can use the tools to explore fractions with guided and independent practice.
This video demonstrates how to use the fraction tiles for add fractions with unlike denominators. Students may write the multiples for each denominator to determine the least common denominator. Fractions tiles can be used to show how to represent equivalent fractions with the least common denominator.
This video demonstrates how to use fraction tiles to model fraction addition with unit fractions that sum to 1. After a teacher models how to appropriately use fraction tiles to solve addition problems, students can use the tools to explore fractions with guided and independent practice.

This video demonstrates how to use fraction tiles to explore how different fractions can be equivalent to the same value, such as 1/2. This video models how to compare different fractions that are equivalent to 1/2 to the benchmark of 1. Students who struggle with finding equivalent fractions can stack the fraction tiles above the whole (1) as an anchor. It is important for students to understand that fractions have multiple representations because they can apply this knowledge to compare fractions, especially fractions with unlike denominators.
This video demonstrates how to use fraction tiles to explore how different fractions can be equivalent to the same value, such as 1/2. It is important for students to understand that fractions have multiple representations because they can apply this knowledge to compare fractions, especially fractions with unlike denominators. For example, students can use the benchmark of 1/2 to determine that 1/4 is less than 4/6 by knowing that the equivalent fractions of 1/2 include 2/4 and 3/6.
This video shows how manipulatives can be used to explain how different combinations of numbers make 10. When students practice putting together and taking apart numbers with manipulatives in different ways they develop a conceptual understanding for composing and decomposing and how numbers are related to one another. Understanding number combinations allows students to develop fluency skills with other operations and assists students with problem solving.
In this video, Sarah Powell, Assistant Professor in the Department of Special Education at the University of Texas at Austin, discusses key considerations when teaching students with math difficulty.
This webinar describes how the RIOT/ICEL matrix can support problem-solving by helping teams to organize their diagnostic data, refine hypotheses, and guide decision making.
