Fraction Activities


Students will learn how what fractions are by using gummy bears to create them. Students will determine the denominator by counting the total number of gummy bears in their bag. They will then sort the gummy bears into groups based color and count the number in each group to create the different numerators. The goal of this assignment is to recognize the different parts of a fraction and how we can apply it to everyday life. 







The BINGO game also allows students to practice adding and subtracting fractions in a fun interactive way. The children must first compute the problems on their bingo card in order to determine an answer for each square. The answers to the problems will then be called at random and the children will cover up the answer called to the corresponding answer on their card.
