We hit a self-inflicted roadblock. Some PlayDoh was old and dry. I should have checked first. We'll hit the concept again tomorrow but with better PlayDoh.
Today we started our unit on fractions. With PlayDoh, plates and plastic knives on our desks, we are building conceptual understanding by comparing medium and large "pizza" slices. It will take time to understand what a fradtion really is but some students learn this easier because they are visual. It's a nice change from the division algorithm.

We continue to learn about fractions. Today we worked with partners using fraction strips. Then we added some important notes to our math notebooks.
This week we are using Kahoot competitions to test our understanding of fractions. It's a great way to make learning fun and engaging. Check out our Top Five!
We jumped around number lines created with sidewalk chalk to learn about fractions on a number line.
