Fractions and PlayDoh

2/14/2023

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 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.
