This brief video shows students how to enter a fraction into the TI-15 calculator and to add fractions. Students should access to a TI-15 calculator while viewing, This video may be embedded within Google Classroom.
This is one possible method for using the area model for division.
With this division strategy, students divide by breaking the dividend into its expanded form. Then, students use familiar multiplication facts to divide. It is suggested that this would be the first of three strategies for division (preceding partial quotients and the standard algorithm.
Students discover engineering and use the design thinking process to create prototypes to show their learning about engineering.
This lesson is Day 1 in a series of 12 lessons around fraction equivalences and comparisons.
This video lesson encourages students to reason about and visualize fractions. The lesson focuses on the ideas that fractions are fair shares and that fractions can be compared. This lesson assumes that students have some initial experiences with fractions.
This lesson is Day 2 in a series of 12 lessons around fraction equivalences and comparisons.
This video lesson uses paper folding to introduce the concept of equivalent fractions. To complete this lesson, make sure you have a square piece of paper (any size) and a crayon
This lesson is Day 2 in a series of 12 lessons around fraction equivalences and comparisons.
This video lesson introduces the idea that fractions can be used to represent 1 whole. To engage in this lesson, students may use virtual circle models from Toy Theater (https://toytheater.com/fraction-circles/)
This lesson is Day 4 in a series of 12 lessons around fraction equivalences and comparisons.
This video lesson looks at how we use fractions in the kitchen. Students are challenged to use circle models to find equivalent fractions for a recipe. Students may use virtual circe models from the Toy Theater (https://toytheater.com/fraction-circles/).
Investigate what coding is and use the design thinking process to create your own game, without a computer!
