Shout Out - Ms. Barker

This week, Ms. Barker's students created fraction strips to analyze the sizes of unit fractions.  They used a ruler to create their fraction strips, ensuring all pieces in a strip were the same size.  So, in addition to studying fractions they applied measurement skills and multiplication/ division.  Ms. Barker questioned students as they made connections between fractional amounts.  For example, they internalized that an eighth is half the size of a fourth, a half is twice the size of a fourth, etc.
Students constructed fraction strips to analyze
and compare unit fractions.



Ms. Barker leads a discussion
about the sizes of various unit fractions.
