Fractions in Room 8

We are studying fractions in Math.  Students will

• name and write fractions and mixed numbers to include halves, thirds, fourths, eighths, tenths, and twelfths as represented by a model
• model fractions and mixed numbers to include halves, thirds, fourths, eighths, tenths, and twelfths and write the fractions' names
• compare fractions with words and symbols <, >, = having like and unlike denominators
• add and subtract proper fractions with like denominators

Any real world conversation or experiences using fractions will support our classroom learning.  Doubling or halving recipes, and equating fractions to money or time are all hands on ways to apply math to the world around us!  Have fun!
