Math Activity Thursday: Fractions

Fractions, schmactions.  What's the big bargain for agreement fractions?  It's an of import concept that shows at that spot are numbers betwixt whole numbers!  Understanding fractions helps sympathise the concept of sharing, dividing, together with decimals.  So, that is why I picked today's MaTh activity Th to hold upwards amongst fractions...

Fractions are actually all closed to us.  There are linear fractions similar this, or at that spot are handy strip fractions, or pie fractions.  I also bring some by posts most pedagogy fractions amongst egg cartons here together with here.

There are many ways to learn fractions.  How produce yous learn it?
Do yous bend papers to present fractions, dissever manipulatives maybe?

There are a few slap-up products from Amazon besides : )

This ane is the criterion strip type, exactly amongst tiles.


This ane has lego-type pieces that label non entirely the fraction, exactly the decimal value together with the percentage!


Then at that spot is fifty-fifty a slap-up egg fraction one.  It is slap-up because yous present equivalent fractions, together with thence if yous await at the production pic is says to present 3/6 which agency 1/2, exactly what yous produce is pose piffling hoops closed to the eggs to groups them, together with thence 6/12 is 3/6!

Anyway, I would dear to listen how yous learn fractions!  Also, yous bring most v days to link upwards whatever math post.

One end question--do yous recollect I should exit the link upwards longer?  For example, exit the link opened upwards for 4 months together with thence teachers together with bloggers tin forcefulness out link upwards their fraction post to this one, or their rounding post to the rounding link...  Thanks your your insights to this
