Level: Fifth Grade
Overview:
Students use maps of different
places to concretely explore fractions by measuring
and calculating fractions of distances. Students are
able to check their answers by referring back to their
maps and measured distances. The mapping and measurement
allows students to actually "see" the fractions
they are using and develop further understanding of
the value and meaning of the numerator and denominator
of a fraction. This activity allows students to work
at differing levels of fraction understanding, from
concrete and visual to using the algorithms for adding,
subtracting, multiplying, dividing fractions.
