I am linking up with Ideas by Jivey's Wednesday Workshop. This week's focus is teaching fractions. We are not there yet in our curriculum, but wanted to share what we did last year.
Here I used fraction cards from Super Teacher Worksheets to teach comparing and ordering fractions.
Here students brought in items to identify fractions of a set.
For Dr. Seuss Day we used food to create fractions and order them using benchmark fractions.
Adding Fractions Freebie I created for my class
Thanks for posting! I'll be glad I downloaded your freebie when fractions come around. :)
ReplyDeleteWe're not on fractions yet either, but I love how they brought "manipulatives" from home! :O)

Three Cheers for First Grade!
I love the idea of having them use the goldfish (or something else fun like that) to not only create fraction sets but order them! Awesome! Thanks for linking up!

Love your ideas for fractions! I especially love the goldfish! Going to have to "steal" that idea! :) A Tall Drink of Water
