Equivalent Fractions | Comparing Activities & Games Cooking with Fractions
What educators are saying
Description
We know that fractions especially equivalent fractions can be tricky for students. Where is one place that fractions are frequently found? …the kitchen. So why not get your students cooking with equivalent fractions?
In this product, students get hands-on practice finding equivalent fractions with a tool they create called the fraction slider. They play a version of Four Corners to practice finding equivalent fractions. They use their skills to rewrite mixed up recipes with uncommon fractions so they can actually make the recipes.
This product was created after my second grade smarties a few years ago realized the connection between fractions and cooking. This was what I created to help them work with fractions and take on cooking tasks.
