legos
Looking for ways to help with fractions. Use Legos.
All grades: Have student build towers and then write fractions for each tower. Ex:  1st tower; white 7/8, yellow 1/8. 
3rd and 4th grade, you could have them then compare fractions.
3rd: Which is more 1/8 or 7/8?  
4th: Compare using the butterfly and then write symbol <,.<,=.
