Fraction Action

Over the last month, we have been working with fractions.  Third graders have several objectives to learn and master.  Students worked with picture models, number lines, fraction bars, and even rulers to gain a deeper understanding of fractions.  As always, these curious minds are like sponges.  We are learning so much!

We did this really great digital breakout on fractions. Not all students were able to finish but, boy, were they engaged and working hard!  The breakout not only works on our fraction standards, but it also has the students collaborating and using problem solving skills. If you and your child want to try the breakout at home, click on the link below.  You'll need to be logged into a Google account to solve the digital puzzles.  Let me know if you give it a go!

Of course, while working on fractions, we need to keep our multiplication and division skills strong.  Here is a similar digital breakout that works on multiplication and division.  Again, we worked on the breakout a couple of days in class, but not all students were able to get all the puzzles solved.  This would be a great way to keep the learning growing at home.
