We continued exploring equivalent fractions today by having a great fraction debate. We worked with fourths today. Students were given notecards and asked to divide it into fourths any way that they could. Most students picked one of these three ways.
Myself and another student both folded our note cards like this:
Students were asked to decide if they thought that these two cards are still divided into fourths. One group believed they were, one group believed that were not, and the other group believed that one was and the other was not. Each group then worked to provide evidence to support their idea. They used many measurement and math strategies to support their idea. They did a great job and had fun presenting their theories. In the end, the answer was revealed. Ask your child to tell you more!
