Fractions

We are done with patterns and we're moving on to Fractions.

I love introducing a new concept with a book. There are 1,000 books about Fractions but I limited myself to just the best.

I really want to use Legos this year to teach fractions. I love using games to teach math!

The TEKS for second grade are:

2.2A Use concrete models to represent and name fractional parts of a whole object (with denominators of 12 or less)
2.3A Partition objects into equal parts and name the parts, including halves, fourths, and eighths, using words
2.3 B Explain that the more fractional parts used to make a whole, the smaller the part; and the fewer the fractional parts, the larger
RT.2.3C Use concrete models to count fractional
parts beyond one whole using words and recognize how many parts it takes to equal one whole
2.3C Use concrete models to count fractional parts beyond one whole using words and recognize how many parts it takes to equal one whole
2.3D Identify examples and non-examples of halves, fourths, and eighths

This is a fun activity that I got for FREE from TpT.
