Summary
You’ve got 60 spaces on a grid to create an amusement park, a house, a farm, or whatever you’d like. Divide it into seven pieces, order it by size, combine into two halves, and more in this fraction project.
- Students will pick a theme for their land and then divide it into seven differently-sized pieces.
- They find the fraction that represents each piece's size and then simply all of the fractions.
- They try to create two equal halves (or as close as they can get).
- Finally, they order their pieces from largest to smallest and explain *why* those pieces would be those sizes. Then, if you'd like, they can build the actual land!

Teachers love Byrdseed.TV!
"I absolutely LOVE all of the ideas on your site. I am using Byrdseed TV to differentiate activities for my clustered students to work on when the rest of the class is doing something they've already mastered." ~ Wendy in Washington
"I just subscribed to Byrdseed.TV and am loving it -- though it is kind of scary addictive in a binge-watching kind of way (that, by the way, is a compliment)." ~ Elizabeth from Florida
"I am the coordinator for our district gifted program. Byrdseed.TV is one of my favorite sites and one of the best investments I have made for the program." ~ Jeannette in California
