Fractions

Since we learned how to divide objects it was easy for students to identify equal and unequal parts of a whole.
We looked into how many pieces the whole is divided into. Is it divided into 2 equal groups or 3 or maybe 8? We looked at cakes, circles, squares, groups,sandwiches, fruits etc. It made us all very hungry at the end so we had to stop. 
When I asked students what a word fraction means Evan raised his hand and said,``Fraction is a part of something. `` Then we discussed where people use fractions and why? Here students find out into how many pieces the whole is divided into and show some parts of a whole.

Here students think how to make a whole using different blocks and into how many equal parts to divide the whole?

We continue to explore fractions after the holiday.
