Fraction Frenzy *Freebie
Fractions? Still?
I know.
We’re about to move on from fractions.
Then they made their own fraction pizzas and identified the fraction for each topping. (2/8 mushroom, 1/8 peppers, 2/8 pepperioni, 2/8 olives, 1/8 onion)
Fractional Parts of Shapes using Pattern Blocks
At my guided reading table, I worked with groups of students to identify fractional parts of pattern blocks. Students had to use the pattern blocks to fill the shapes, and then identify the fraction of each one.
At the front of the room students used fraction pictures, names, and numbers from my Furry Friends Fractions Pack (on sale at TPT and Teacher’s Notebook) to play a matching game.
In another part of the room (the nonfiction nook) students read Hershey’s Fraction Book and used the manipulatives below to build the various fractions.
Pick up the Pizza Fractions Craftivity Pack (includes craftivity pieces and instructions, 12 task cards, recording sheet, and bonus comparing fractions with like denominators sheet) at TPT or Teacher’s Notebook!
ummm…your TpT link for your fraction pack goes to 3AM's blog..hehe
