Math Monday: Fractions

October 8, 2012 By Jennifer Lambert 1 Comment

We did so many fun math activities this week!

We measured our hands and feet and school items with a pumpkin ruler. We got this fun activity from a Simple Schooling Autumn Fun Book.

We worked on our reviews in Singapore Math 1B.

Now I know we need to really work on multiplication tables. It’s a new concept and they just don’t get it yet.

Multiplication Review

We went through a living math book called Fraction Fun. It had great activities to bring fractions into everyday life.

We made pizza fractions from paper plates. We know we want the big slice!

Pizza Fractions
Paper Plate Fractions

We used red, green, and blue to represent 1/8, 2/8, and 3/8.

Coloring Paper Plate Fractions

We weighed coins, tissues, and pencils.

We made fractions out of the measurements. 20 tissues weigh 1 ounce so 1 tissue is 1/20 of a ounce.

Measuring Fractions

We graphed equivalent fractions. We drew blocks of 1/2, 2/4, and 4/8 to show they were the same.

Drawing Fractions

Spider and bat rings sure help.

We’re following up this week with some more fractions work involving pizza and pumpkins. We’re going to really work on money values over the next month too.
