As we learn about comparing and ordering fractions, we are having FUN! Students used smarties this week to create fractions, find equivalent fractions and determine fractions of a new number (Ex. "What is 5/8 of 24?"). We have learned SEVERAL strategies for comparing fractions. Myth buster: there is no "old math" versus "new math"... there's just MATH! All children learn differently, so as long as their strategy makes mathematical sense and arrives at a correct answer, then it WORKS!
