Fun, Fabulous Fractions!

Hi Everyone!
Just wanted to share some of my kiddies accomplishments in math! Language Arts is my favorite subject to teach, however this whole math business is starting to grow on me! We have been having some fun lately and it's all because of this sweet little package I just posted up on TpT!


We have been working on it for a few days now and have had a blast! The kiddies love fractions and they especially love that it's all about cookies and cupcakes! Yummm!

First, we went to the Smartboard room and watched this clip on "What is a Fraction?" It is simply stated and really gives a clear depiction of what a fraction is all about. I stopped the video several times to repeat and go over what had been stated.


Then, we used Kidspiration to play with fractions!


It's great because you can shade the boxes and do all kinds of neat stuff! The kids got a kick out of it!

Finally, I asked them to complete a worksheet to see where we were in terms of understanding fractions!


The rest of the week was devoted to some great fraction centers from my pack!






This week we will begin to look at fractions as part of a whole AND mixed numbers!
I plan to show them the video below and then use more of my fraction centers to help them master these very important skills!


I gotta say, I do like this series! They get to the point and have great visuals.



The 118 pages pack includes:

- 4 fraction basic worksheets (write the fraction/draw the fraction)
- 4 mixed numbers worksheets (write the fraction/draw the fraction)
- 2 puzzle matching centers (match the fraction picture with the corresponding fraction) 1 with circular fractions and 1 with rectangular fractions
- 2 draw the fractions centers (choose a fraction card and draw the corresponding fraction) 1 with circular fractions and 1 with rectangular fractions
- 2 write the fractions centers (choose a picture card and write the corresponding fraction) 1 with circular fractions and 1 with rectangular fractions
- 1 match the circular and rectangular fraction pictures center
- 2 "How many are eaten, How many are left?" activity (1 with circular fractions and 1 with rectangular fractions)
- 1 fractions as part of a whole activity center
- 1 cupcake fractions center
- 1 draw the fraction center for mixed numbers
- 1 write the fraction center for mixed numbers
- 2 fractions in real life activity sheets (fractions on a clock and in a glass)
- 6 fraction posters to display in your classroom. 
- 1 make your own fraction poster for students

Until next time...
