Collaborative Activity #2 (15 - 20 minutes):
Activity: Fraction Sort & Answers
Directions:
- Cut out page two of Fraction Sort which has fraction bars and number lines.
- Match students with a partner and have them sit facing each other.
- They will need one set of fraction bar cards and one set of number lines.
- Direct one student to mix up all the cards and place them face down on the desk.
- Students take turns turning over 2 cards at a time. When the two cards match, the student who matches them then keeps the cards. If the two cards do not match, turn them back over.
- The next student takes a turn by flipping over two cards looking for a match.
- Continue like this until all cards are matched.
- Next, complete the worksheet as the same partners or individually.
- Students read the written fraction on the worksheet and glue the corresponding bars and lines next to it.
