Fraction.. Fractions..Learn All About it 😊

😊 Let's Learn About Fraction ... 🗣ALL ABOARD

Grade: 3rd Graders 

Content: Fractions 


Common Core Standards : CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.3.NF.A.1Understand a fraction 1/b as the quantity formed by 1 part when a whole is partitioned into b equal parts; understand a fraction a/b as the quantity formed by a parts of size 1/b.

When students first learn about the topic of fractions it can be very confusing. There is a lot of elements that require you to know your numbers.  When you learn about fractions you start out talking about whole and parts of fractions and then you move on to adding, subtracting and even multiplying.  This alone can be very complicated however, with the right resources and tools being able to understand fractions can be simple. 



I find that videos are very useful when learning about a new topic. So when i discovered this video on fractions that is geared towards 3rd and 4th graders I thought this would be perfect to show students who may be starting a lesson that is dealing with fractions. 


While watching this video I found another resource Number Rock. This website has many different math elements that include Arithmetic, Geometry, Measurement , Data & Graphs and Fractions. Check out : https://www.numberrock.com


I also found a worksheet that can be beneficial for students to do while they are still practicing and getting use to dealing with fractions during the lesson.

Reflection: While reviewing this material on fractions I realized that I need to practice and sharpen my skills so that I can be able to teach my students everything there is to  know about fractions. I also realize there are so many resources out there for teachers to utilize in order to help their students succeed. I would want to know what exactly my students struggle with when it comes to fractions. By knowing this I can help them succeed. I would also incorporate peer to peer work sessions in order to have my students learn from one another. Sometimes, you may learn better from your classmate then from your teacher, so I would encourage peer to peer learning. My ultimate goal is that I want to be a master in fractions so I can help my students also be master's in fractions and all the elements that are involved with this topic.

👀 Can you find the Perimeter???👀

Can you tell me the perimeter of this house?  Most adults cannot from the top of their head. Sometimes as the teacher we expect our students to know a lot more than they should. Their brains grow just as much as our adult brains do therefore we have to continue to shape and mold them with new material to sharpen their tools and expand their knowledge.  In order to do this we must start out with the basics and try to help our students build on the tools they already have.  This Perimeter topic can be difficult to some students but as the teachers it is all about how your present the material to help the children who are learning.  Like a wise woman once told me .. " its not what you say , its how you say it" so for teachers the saying is "its not what you teach, its how your teach it ".  Grade : 3rd Grade  Content: Perimeter Common Core Standard : Geometric measurement: recognize perimeter.

Time oh Time ⏰

Whats the Time? ⏰ The aspect of telling time is so important in today's generation. We are so reliant on our smartphones that we have loss the ability to actually look at a clock and tell the time.  As an adult myself I wish my teachers were able to focus in and develop our skills of time telling back when I was in elementary school.   Grade Level: 2nd Grade  Content: Time Telling  COMMON CORE STANDARDS:  CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.3.MD.B.3 Draw a scaled picture graph and a scaled bar graph to represent a data set with several categories. Solve one- and two-step "how many more" and "how many less" problems using information presented in scaled bar graphs.  For example, draw a bar graph in which each square in the bar graph might represent 5 pets . Here is a video  from Khan Academy, that breaks down the elements of telling time and gives different examples of telling different time slots.    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ll3QzXftlS0

Sub-TRACT Thaaaaat 😃

Sub-TRACT Thaaaaat 😃 Subtraction can be very hard for students especially once they move into regrouping. As I stated in  my previous blogs it is important to make sure that your students understanding the basic content of the topic before moving on to other elements that are associated with the material. During an observation for another class I watched a few students struggle with the topic of subtraction. One student said " I just can't get this ! I wish this was easier for me" Immediately , the teacher Mr. Matt came over to the student and said "Let's see how we can break this down for you." - Breaking down the topic /content is the best formula towards helping students expand their knowledge on a topic they are struggling with. Grade Level : 2nd Grade  Content: Subtraction  Common Core Standards : CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.2.NBT.B.5 Fluently add and subtract within 100 using strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the rel
