Sorry it has been so long since I have posted. I have taken pictures of several events but wanted to post some of them then post more towards the end of the week. Last week in Math we were discussing fractions and since we are coming upon Valentine's day we did an activity that involved both! The students were asked to empty a box of conversation hearts and sort them by color. Then each student created a large heart on their paper and was given several minutes to come up with as many fractions as they could think of. We had two winners - Emma and Madeline who both came up with 33 different fractions with in about ten minutes! We discussed the fractions that they came up with which spurred on many more ideas. This was a great way for the students to understand that we can make fractions out of almost anything!
