Fractions

Who ever thought we could have so much fun with a one inch strip of paper. Our hands on lesson help us to divide that strip into halves, fourths, eights and sixteenths. We were able to compare and came to the conclusion that the smaller the denominator the bigger the piece of pizza. The bigger the denominator the smaller the piece of pizza. 5E determined that they would rather have a half of pizza than a forth.
