Hello,

Here is what we did today.

Math: Today we learned about equivalent fractions. Equivalent fractions are fractions that look different but show exactly the same amount. You can make equivalent fractions by halving or doubling the numerator and denominator by the same number. We did a bunch of examples on the board together of how fractions may look different but can have the same value, for example: 1/2 and 6/12. We used the equivalent fraction blocks to see fractions that were equivalent and then the students completed a worksheet in class and we took it up all together. Once that was completed they tried to solve puzzles that included equivalent fractions represent in numbers and pictures. We talked about how we can draw in extra lines or take some away if we are having trouble visualizing a fraction with bigger or smaller pieces of a pie. Finally we did some textbook work. 

Language: We continued our novel study, “Heidi.” We read chapters 10 and 11 together. We made a lot of inferences about what could happen next in the book or how the characters are feeling.
