Math Up!
Here are some links (below) to the fraction activities we have been doing in class. To continue the learning at home, ask your child fun questions such as:
"How much of your milk do you have left in your cup after you have had a few sips?"
"We are going for a drive today, it will take 30 minutes to get there. How long will it take to drive one-third of the way? How long will we have been driving when we are half-way there?
"Can you run a quarter of the way down the sidewalk?"
"What fraction of the ________ can you eat?" (ex: pizza, cake, toast, apple...)
Or you can put masking tape on the floor and have children hop, skip or twirl to where they think different spots are one the line ("Twirl to three-fourths").
These are great ways to connect the math concept to everyday activities.
