Monday is almost over…. but before my least favorite day of the week goes in the books…. I wanted to share some Fraction Fun that has been taking place in our little room!
Last week we introduced the whole fraction concept with equal and unequal parts.
We made a really simple but easy to understand anchor chart using basic shapes….in bright colors of course! (trust me…. it was spur of the moment… not fancy at all!)
I also had my students create their own T-chart of equal and unequal parts…. I just gave each student 2 small squares. They had to cut one into equal parts…. and the other into unequal parts. Simple…and FREE!
The next two days we ventured into “halves” and “fourths”. Our standards took out thirds this year, so we are ONLY focusing on halves and fourths….
Have I mentioned how much my kiddos LOVE sorting pockets? It is SO simple…. but such an easy assessment tool! Just label and sort! It’s like a game…. so I guess that’s why they LOVE it!
Wow! Thanks so much. I can't wait to use this with my kiddos.
