Fraction Lessons
Week 26 *Beginning-Students use colored counters (or heart candies) to create an array that would show ex. 3 red and 1 blue. Student then takes a digital picture. All pictures are put into a power point. Power Point is shown to class and each student explains the fraction they have created. i.e. ¾ are red and ¼ is blue. *3-5th- students use the pattern block site to complete the lesson found @ http://math.rice.edu/~lanius/Patterns/notes.html . This would make a great computer center activity. A hard copy of the pattern blocks can be found on the lesson site. *3-5th – alphy.com has 4 games plus one for decimal=fractions and percentage = fractions. Either set this up as a center or view with a group/class, divide into teams to compete for correct answers. *5th – decimals to percentage to fractions- create a graph of data (candy colors, opinions), create a pie chart using Excel.. Determine the fraction of the group. *3-5th – use the pizza problem on IMMEX *4-5th – The following from Glencoe are great visuals to help demonstrate equivalent fractions
