Fractions

Fraction Games:

• Good warm-up (Pizza Game) https://mrnussbaum.com/tony-fraction-s-pizza-shop-online-game 

  • • start by clicking on the correct size of pizza (to match the order)

    • select your first topping

    • click on the pizza to add that topping to a fraction of the pizza

    • once you have all of the topping in the correct proportions, click "send"

• Fraction logic game (read instructions first) https://www.nctm.org/Classroom-Resources/Illuminations/Interactives/Fraction-Game/

  • • see what your personal best is for lowest number of cards

• Mystery Fraction Box Challenge: https://www.mathplayground.com/mystery_fraction_box.html

  • •  every time you pick A or B it is a new challenge

    • questions can be tricky

2D & 3D Shapes

• Area and Volume video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJwecTgce6c (MathAntics)

• Nets of 3D shapes: https://www.geogebra.org/m/aJv7KdWB 

• Net assignment (Create your own net and work with it)

• •  go to https://www.nctm.org/Classroom-Resources/Illuminations/Interactives/Geometric-Solids/

    • •  "Select a Shape: My Own Net"

      • Play around a bit to figure out how it works. You will be creating your own net of a prism.

      • Pick a Polygon shape to use as your base, and drag it over to the work area. 

        • • Triangles and square are easier bases to work with, pentagons and heptagons will be trickier if you are up for a challenge.

      •  Attach sides to your base by dragging squares over and attaching them to each edge of the base.

      • Attach a top shape by dragging over the same shape you used as your base, and attach it to one of the side squares.

  • To Print your Net:

    • • Click "Print".

      •  Right-click the mouse off to the side of your resulting page.

      •  Select "Print"

      •  Print to "MRI-RM200P"

      • If you are unable to print, select Destination: "Save as PDF". Save the document to the H: Drive under Taylor "H:\Taylor", using your name for the File Name.

  • Once your net is printed out, you will be calculating the surface area and volume of your shape.

    •   Assume that each edge (side) is 3 cm in length. 

      • If you picked a pentagon, assume that the distance from the middle of an edge to the middle of the pentagon is 2 cm.

      • If you picked a hexagon, assume that the distance form the middle of an edge to the middle of the hexagon is 2.6 cm.

• Isometric Drawing Tool: https://www.nctm.org/Classroom-Resources/Illuminations/Interactives/Isometric-Drawing-Tool/
