We will be wrapping up our fraction unit with some tricky fraction concepts. Students will be learning how to find equivalent fractions, in third grade we do this using fraction bars and number lines. It is important that students remember to think of the fraction as a picture in their mind to find the equivalent partner. This website provides a fun game for students to practice making equivalent fracitons: http://harcourtschool.com/activity/elab2004/gr3/10.swf
This afternoon the students will bring bringing home some practice pages for the test on unit 7. These are not due back to me but if they do bring them back in I am happy to grade them and help them so they can see how they did.
