This class is the second of a four part series that is intended for students who have little to no experience with fractions or who need a review/tutorial to support their understanding. At the end of this three day camp, successful students will have a concrete understanding of equivalent fractions and will be able to both recognize and create equivalent fractions independently. Lots of visuals and interactive play will be used to reinforce the learning. Prerequisite: Students must have completed Part 1 of this course, "Fraction Action Math Camp Part 1: I Spy Fractions" OR students must already have a solid understanding of what a fraction is and how to name fractions. Day 1: Equivalent Fractions in Pictures and Models Day 2: Calculating Equivalent Fractions Day 3: Game: Match That Fraction!
Learning Goals
Students will leave this class with a concrete understanding of equivalent fractions. Successful students will be able to identify and model equivalent fractions using pictures and number sentences.

Teacher expertise and credentials
As a recently retired Math/Science teacher I have spent countless hours helping elementary school aged children discover the wonder of learning. I was privileged to begin my career in the world of Special Education, taught many years in the general education setting, and ended my career in Gifted Education. Helping students discover their talents, passions, and strengths is one of the things that brings me the greatest fulfillment in life. Encouraging each child to find a way to plug those talents into his or her learning is a vital part of who I am. My work as a Gifted and Talented Specialist taught me the importance of inspiring children to look beyond the obvious to the abstract and helped me to see the joy that comes from viewing every child through the lens of his or her strengths. My hope is that, through my teaching, I can help each child to see himself, or herself, through that lens as well.
