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.

  1. Students will pick a theme for their land and then divide it into seven differently-sized pieces.
  2. They find the fraction that represents each piece's size and then simply all of the fractions.
  3. They try to create two equal halves (or as close as they can get).
  4. 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!
