Learning Fractions with M&M’s
by: Ms. Rosario
+ What is a Fraction?
When an object is divided into a number of equal parts then each part is called a fraction.
There are three different types of fractions, but we will just be learning about proper fractions today.
There are TWO parts of a fraction. The NUMERATOR and the DENOMINATOR.
+Do Not Eat the M&M’s on your desk! Remain seated in your seats as I locate everyone in their
groups.
Once placed in your group, you will sit quietly and listen to the following directions: Choose one person in your group to come to Ms. Rosario and collect the plastic cups you will be using in your activity.
With the plastic cups you will scoop a bunch of M&M’s from your baskets, and then count the total amount you collected.
Then you will be able to complete the M&M worksheet.
Now I will call on you randomly to put your answers from the worksheet on to the SMART BOARD!
+NOW YOU CAN EAT THE M&M’S GREAT JOB!
