Fun with Fractions. To assess prior knowledge, ask students to create a list of ways they use fractions in their daily lives.
Engage them in a discussion of nonstandard ways they use fractions daily. Some simple examples include dividing a treat in half (1/2) to share it with a friend, or noticing that your brother ate 3/8 of a pizza last night at dinner. Some students may suggest that they fold or use a ruler to measure lengths to determine fractional parts. If students suggest such strategies, you might use this as an introduction to the lesson using fraction strips. Equivalent Fractions.
HappyClass: Automatic Classroom Seating Chart Maker for Teachers. Graphic Organizers. Bloom’s Taxonomy: Bloomin’ Peacock. Tomorrow I am doing a training on the Treasures Supplement that I created over the summer.

I want to show teachers that just because these activities help students practice basic skills and remember and understand, there are SO many more options that will reach the higher levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy!
