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.

Money , Money , Moooney 😁

😁 Do you know your money? As  I was thinking about what to do next for my Personal Learning Path, I was in the store and I saw a little girl asking her mom about money. She looked no older than about 6/7 years old, however her curiosity about money and its valued sparked my interest.  So this week I was discuss and show you some cool ways to help you students learn about money.  One christmas when I was about 8 years old my mom gave me a cash register set which came with groceries, a basket ,and pretend money (both coins and dollars). This was by far a great way to learn about money but also implement my pretend play skills at home.   THANK YOU MOM !!!!  So I always said that when I become a teacher I would use the cash register system to help my students understand and learn the value of money.  CONTENT:  MONEY GRADE : 2ND  COMMON CORE STANDARDS:  CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.2.MD.C.8 Solve word problems involving dollar bills, quart...

Adding with Two Digits

Addition may come easy to some students and may not come as easy to other students which is why it is important to help your students establish a strong foundation in addition.  As I was looking into what element of addition I wanted to explore I remember how two digit addition with and without regrouping was a problem for myself during my math journey. When trying to figure out what should be carried over into the next column can be difficult if the foundation of adding is not strong.  Children often find two digit addition a bit more complicated than single digit addition because  they are solving for two numbers instead of just one. So to help with this topic I found a few resources : 1) a worksheet that incorporates a visual element of two digit addition and   2) a  interactive video that breaks down how to add two digit numbers.   Common Core Standards :  CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.1.NBT.C.4 Add within 100, including adding a two-digit number and...

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...
