Students will develop a solid understanding of equivalent fractions in this hands-on math session. When students “see” the math, they are able to understand procedures and apply mathematical knowledge to the world around the them. This class will help students understand more than just the procedure to calculate equivalent fractions. Students will use paper folding strategies to create equivalent fractions. We will name equivalent fractions and discuss how number and size of the parts are affected when applying the standard algorithm to calculate equivalent fractions.
Learning Goals
Students will create equivalent fractions using paper folding.
Students will explore the algorithm to calculate equivalent fractions.
Students will discuss “size of the part” when describing equivalent fractions.
