Fractions!

We have a lot to celebrate in third grade this week! Hopefully your children have come home and shared how amazing their learning and thinking has been the last few days! I have commented on how this group has been showing me they are so ready for 4th grade! 

We are in the middle of Unit 7 in Bridges which is all about multiplication, division, and fractions! We have just learned about how to use egg cartons to help us understand fractions. Ask your child about the work we have been doing using the egg cartons! 
Some questions to ask: How do you use the yarn to create equal parts? 
How do you know what the denominator is? Or the numerator?
Did you find any equivalent fractions? 




Even with all the amazing learning, we found a few minutes for some choice time! By request...a photos of some great teamwork!
