This hands-on fraction of a number activity uses google slides to allow children to manipulate objects to find the answer. Perfect for spring.
Does it feel like spring where you are? Spring came a little early for us this year, and we are enjoying the spring-like temperatures and seeing the flowers start to bloom…though we are not enjoying the pollen or the allergies that come with it.
Today, I have a fun fraction of a number activity that has a spring theme.
Prep – Work
I’m really enjoying creating google slides. It is a fun way to get in hands-on work without pulling out tons of stuff. Though there is a big need for that, so please don’t cut that out of your lessons. But once in a while, it is nice to be able to manipulate objects without all the mess. And this fraction of a number activity does just that.
Prep-work is simple.
- Download the slide by clicking on the large blueish button at the end of the post.
- Next, check your email and you will get a link to the slides.
- When the slide comes up, you will need to save it so you and your children can move the objects.
- Finally, teach the lesson and have fun with it.
Fraction Of a Number Activity:
This video with take you through how to use this activity.
The biggest thing to remember is you are teaching your children that fractions are equal groups, and this fraction of a number activity drives that home. They get to make groups based on a fraction and then sort the flowers to make equal groups.
Once they are done with that they may enjoy some of these paper activities.
I hope you enjoy!
