The tasks are ✎ rigorous, creative, hands-on, and fun!
✱ ✱ After completing the fraction center activities, even my struggling math students:
✅ Understood equivalent and improper fractions, mixed numbers
✅ Could name equivalent fractions between halves, thirds, and sixths.
✅ Could visualize adding and subtracting halves, thirds, and sixths
✅ Could visualize common denominators
✅ Could add and subtract halves, thirds, and sixths
Then, when I directly taught these same concepts, students already had background knowledge that helped them comprehend at a much deeper level. The depth of their understanding was amazing! They could answer fractional questions “in their heads” and automatically apply their understandings and make connections to other fractional concepts that I had not yet taught.
Students’ ability to visualize benchmark fractions was truly amazing!
Each task may be completed in multiple ways for differentiation!
