Entry/Exit Check-In

Tracking Sheet and Problem Sets

• Start with unit fractions and concrete tools

  • Counting by... up to 10 wholes

  • Equal partitioning

• Connect to real world examples

  • Fractions as part of a set 

    • carton of eggs

    • pack of Pokemon cards

    • sharing Smarties or liquorice pieces

  • Fractions as an area model

    • sharing food (cake, subs, something that has to be cut to be served)

    • partitioning a garden

• AVOID circle models as the starting point (not forever) as students tend to go back to the first model they are exposed to and circles are really difficult to partition into odd number pieces beyond thirds or fifths
