We continued our learning on fractions today, by reviewing some activities we have been working on over the last week or two. After this, the students started working in their (new!) table groups on putting their learning about fractions into their own words and pictures. I challenged them to describe the two parts of a fraction, to describe fractions that show part of an object, and to describe fractions that show part of a set. We only had about 10-15 minutes to start these discussions, so we'll continue working on them tomorrow. Here are a few preliminary thoughts that some of the students recorded:
Once the students have finished putting their thoughts around fractions into their own words and pictures, they will be asked to create a paper slide video about their learning. What is a paper slide video, you ask? Well... it's something I learned about at the Riding The Wave converence I went to a few weeks ago in Gimli. It's something I'm really excited to try with the students - this video explains what it is perfectly:
