Description
This is a fun math song about fraction concepts with lyrics provided on a three page handout for students to use to sing along with. It is sung to the tune of "The Adams Family". It is a great way to engage students and get them ready to learn (a G.L.A.D. strategy). Students can also use the handout to take notes on. This could be used for a variety of grades (Grades 3 to 6) at the beginning of a fraction unit.
The song covers the basics on fractions, equivalent fractions, simplified fractions, mixed numbers and improper numbers. Web links on the last page provide recommended music to play with the song from YouTube, and video links to see sample notes and hear how the song can be sung with students.
This is one of our favorite songs in my 6th grade math classes to review fraction concepts!

CCSS3.NF.A.3
Explain equivalence of fractions in special cases, and compare fractions by reasoning about their size.
CCSS4.NF.A.1
Explain why a fraction 𝘢/𝘣 is equivalent to a fraction (𝘯 × 𝘢)/(𝘯 × 𝘣) by using visual fraction models, with attention to how the number and size of the parts differ even though the two fractions themselves are the same size. Use this principle to recognize and generate equivalent fractions.
