A Grid-Based Fraction Project
🔓 This is an unlocked sample!
Byrdseed.TV is open for new memberships through May 31st, 2024. Join today!
Objective
Students split up a grid into seven unequal pieces and express their sizes using fractions.
Steps
- 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!
