Fun with Math Manipulative's!

Good Morning!

This weeks Math Lesson involves working with fractions and finding Equivalent Fractions. This may be a hard concept for some students to understand. Math Manipulative's such as the ones shown above, provide concrete learning experiences for students to visualize and make sense of what they're learning.

For this lesson we are going to use Fraction Strips and Fraction Tower Cubes to build and compare fractions and find equal fractions that have different denominators. You can print and cut out Fraction Strips at home and practice with your child.

Contact me if you would like to purchase any Math Manipulatives or borrow any from the classroom for additional math practice.

Have a great week!
