Are you searching for a step-by-step PowerPoint that can be used to introduce fraction concepts to your third grade students in a way that will grab their attention? You've come to the right place! This 75-slide PowerPoint will introduce your students to the fraction skills identified in the 3rd Grade Common Core State Standards. It is highly interactive and is packed full with practice opportunities! Plus, this resource comes with a bonus set of exit tickets!

This PowerPoint is designed to be used over the course of 5 days. Each day, use this PowerPoint to introduce a different fraction concept. The PowerPoint begins with an introduction to fraction vocabulary and some "real-life" fraction examples. After the introduction section, there are five main sections to the PowerPoint:

1. Determining basic fractions based on images.
2. Identifying & generating fractions on a number line.
3. Identifying and generating equivalent fractions.
4. Identifying fractions that are also whole numbers.
5. Comparing fractions (<, >, or =). (10 slides contain LIKE denominators and 12 slides contain UNLIKE denominators.)

Each section contains MANY practice opportunities!

This PowerPoint contains TWO EXTRA BONUS FEATURES!!

1. A PowerPoint companion handout is included in this file. As you advance through the PowerPoint, students can record their answers on the handout. The companion handout is available in both printable format or digital format. The digital version is compatible with Google Slides.
2. After each section of the PowerPoint, hand out a half-sheet exit slip and have students complete it independently. When you correct the exit slips, you are presented with immediate feedback on which students might need additional small group or individual instruction. The exit tickets are available in both printable format or digital format, as well.
