This week we are entering the exciting world of fractions in Math! Here is a schedule of what we are learning each day:
Monday: Introduction to Fractions - We will be learning the parts of a fraction (numerator, denominator, whole, part). We will also be learning how to write fractions with denominators of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, and 12.
Tuesday: Fractions in Our Lives - We will be learning about fractions from our own family members. We will also be learning about fractions found in our families. For homework, we will be making Heritage Flags. Each student will be sent home a worksheet to design their flag. They will be responsible for asking an adult about his or her heritage. Each piece of the flag should represent where their families are from. I have included a picture of an example:
Wednesday: Constructing Equivalent Fractions - We will learning about equivalent fractions. We will learn how to construct equivalent fractions with pattern blocks and learn how to define them.
Thursday: Cooking with Equivalent Fractions - We will still be exploring equivalent fractions. We will be using measuring cups and rice to understand that equivalent fractions mean equal fractions. I will be sending the students home with their Math Journals to review for the Quiz on Friday! The Quiz will cover our fraction vocabulary and drawing and constructing equivalent fractions. Friday: Quiz on the topics we've covered so far!
If you or your family have any questions, please feel free to email me at kbakamis@gmail.com.
Sincerely,
Ms. Bakamis
