Fractions Foldable Freebie!
We took a piece of green construction paper and cut it in half. Each student had two pieces. Then we made it into a flap book and added the outside labels. I included half-dollars, quarters, and dimes.
On the inside, we cut between the coins to make flaps. For the quarter, for example, there were four flaps; one for each quarter.
We wrote the fractional part of a dollar that each coin represented, identified the value in cents, and named the coin.
We put it into the fractions section of our math notebooks. On the output side, we added a few statements identifying the fractional parts various coins represent.
Grab the this instruction page and the labels from TPT or Teacher’s Notebook for free!
This is very cool!

Wow! I like how you combined money and fractions…we just finished money, started fractions…zing! Thanks for the lightbulb 🙂 It'll be a great way to get my kiddos to remember 4 quarters in a dollar, etc. Thanks for sharing!

Very cool. I like how the students cut the flaps so that it really represented the factions! Great idea!
