Update May 2020:  You can. now get the charts here.

After the confusion that was the fraction charts last semester, I sat down and re-did them this week since my fraction section of the album was due.  It helped that I’ve actually seen and illustrated the whole fraction section of the album.  It made organizing and understanding why the charts were there.

I do want to note that my trainer said it’s better if the kids are making these charts.  So I don’t know whether or not I’m going to be printing these out for Thumper.  A few weeks ago, she made a multiplication table when she needed them.  I kind of want the same thing to happen with the fraction charts.  It’s no use as a reference if she doesn’t need them.

I have 22 fraction charts.  It’s based on the album and also copies of my trainer’s fraction charts (which were not complete and also were missing charts or had extra charts).  I also used these three sites as reference:

It’s two more than the first two websites, because of chart 8 and chart 11.  Their charts do not have these “statements”.  One is imbedded in another chart.  But since my album says so, I made mine that way.  There’s also a mysterious chart 22, which isn’t listed in the album itself.  I’m guessing it probably should belong within a multiplication chart, but the trainer didn’t have space for it.  I also made a change from the original charts so it said like and unlike denominators.

  1. Introduction to Quantity, Symbol, and Language
  • Chart 1 – Fraction as circular units divided into pieces from 1 to 5.
  • Chart 2 – Fraction as circular units divided into pieces from 6 to 10.
  • Children may make square charts.

  1. This material is so beautiful, I’m getting ready to introduce fraction equivalencies to my 7 & 9 year old homeschooled kids. Are these charts available for purchase? I can’t seem to find them anywhere but here, and I be happy to pay for them.
