Easy To Use Garden Fraction Puzzles
We have been loving the different math puzzles for skip counting. I thought it would be fun to have some another math subject: fractions.
Puzzles are a fun hands-on way to learn different concepts. We have loved learning with them. And now we have fractions with a garden theme. These are hands-on and easy to use!
This printable is a part of the 6 Days of Garden Themed Printables.
We have included links to some of the products and resources we have used with this activity. If you purchase via the links we may earn a small commission.
This is a great addition to the fraction printables and farm printables on the site.
What are fractions?
It is a numerical quantity that is not a whole number. It is also a number divided into equal parts.
Examples of fractions are 1/2 or half of a whole number.
You can see fractions like 1/4, 1/5, 1/6, 1/8, 1/10. There are many different fractions that kids can work on.
Garden Fraction Puzzle Printables
My girls have always loved learning with puzzles. It has been fun to add puzzles into their learning. It makes the learning hands on and works on them putting the fractions in the correct order.
I know that my girls have loved having different themes for the last few years to work on different concepts.
Each of the garden fraction puzzles is vertical. The puzzles have the fractions on the right side and the picture they are making on the left. I laminate each of the puzzles. This makes the puzzles last longer.
You are going to find fractions for the following numbers: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, and 10.

Ways to use the Garden Fraction Puzzles
Compare the Different Fractions with the Puzzles
All the fraction puzzles fit in the same space so they work great for building and comparing the fractions. You can build the two fraction puzzles together to see the differences in the sizes.
This allows you to compare the difference between 1/5 and 1/4.
Mix up the Fraciton Puzzles
I love to mix up the fraction puzzle and give it to them to figure out how it should fit on the page. As they make the puzzles I ask them what fraction they made.
So you have the 1/8 puzzle printable and as you build you can see the numbers go up. So they start with 1/8 and then find 2/8. You can say you have 2/8 of a whole.
Fraction Book to Read with the Puzzle
If you are looking for more information on fractions you can check out the book A Fraction’s Goal — Parts of a Whole. It can be good to introduce them to kids this way.
What you will find in the Free Garden Fraction Puzzles printable:
- 7 pages of fraction puzzles
- Fractions for numbers: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10
