MASHUP MATH VLOG-EPISODE 01: Making Fraction Kits
Hands-on activities are an awesome way for students to engage in exploratory activities and develop a concrete understanding of difficult math concepts. Fraction kits have been around for a while and many effective math teachers use them to help their students gain a stronger grasp of fractions. This video demonstrates my approach to creating a fraction kit and was designed to serve as a follow-along activity.
Unlike our animated math lessons, this VLOG will walk you through a hands on, real world math activity that explores fractions, equivalent fractions, comparing fractions, number sense, and even as a decimals introduction activity later on. This fun math activity is perfect for homeschool, 1st grade, 2nd grade, 3rd grade, 4th grade, 5th grade, 6th grade, and middle school and even high school as well.
The required materials for such math activities include construction paper, markers, scissors, and a ruler.
Our lessons are perfect for flipped classroom math teachers and students. This lesson is aligned with the common core learning standards for math and the SAT math curriculum as well.

Love that you said to let kids make mistakes becuase they may correct themselves or if not once they realize they have made a mistake you can have a great discussion about what went wrong and what the student can do to fix the mistake. Great video! thank you!

@hollytremblay3795 5 лет назад

I just did this activity yesterday and used the fractions 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, and 1/8. There are great games you can play with this fraction kit such as 'cover up' or 'uncover' where you make fraction dice and kids work with a partner to play one of the games. You must have exact fraction to move or can trade equivalent fractions to make a move...kids love it.

@sarabieniada854 2 года назад

Hi Holly! Could you explain the games further? Would love to do them with my students :)

@debraphillip8249 6 лет назад

You made my heart smile and thank you. Teachers need to find simple ways to teach math that helps students to grasp concepts and not simply leaning how to find the correct answers Fractions are difficult to teach for many of us. This activity is great for all learning types. No more excuses. We will get students to start saying "I love math." Yes we will. Thanks again.

@melaniebacca2081 4 года назад

I've used this strategy as a flap book for several years and found it to be useful, especially for ESE students. It gives a visual, hands-on look at fractions. Thank you!

@janepoole6287 3 года назад

Perfect hands on lesson for conceptual learning. I was looking for something to use with adults and this is just the thing.

@katie5936 7 лет назад

Just came across your videos. As a homeschool mom, with a child struggling in math, I am super excited to implement some of your resources. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your passion and talents.

I am teaching basic math skills to English Language Learners who are also SIFE (Students with Interrupted Formal Education) and this is a great activity to introduce the concept of fractions! Thank you so much!

@ilenejohnson6186 5 лет назад

Great video! I'm a Special Education teacher and I have been looking for a simple (and inexpensive) hands on activity for my students to help them get the concept, and engage them. This is perfect! Thank you!

@victoriasanchez5804 5 лет назад

Great video! I do this activity with my 4th graders every year and it always helps me learn about my students. We have some great discussions. It's a very visual way to find equivalent fractions.

@checkyourbrakes 2 года назад

thank you for the activity :) I was wondering, when it comes to helping a kid intuitively look at something and divide it into 3rds or similar - would it also help to use clear measuring cups of various sizes and asking the kid to fill it half way - then turn it around so they can look at how much that measures out to? Once they're comfortable with 1/2 moving to 3rds? and so on? I'm trying to think of how to help a kid when we say something like ' fold that in thirds and they're different sizes

@trinket471 6 лет назад

What a great find! I was trying to help my niece and I am way behind in some things 😔 but these videos are very helpful and I look forward to using them to help with my grand daughter when she gets of school age. Thanks so much! You’re awesome 👏🏻 😎

@allisonh2049 8 лет назад

I have always preferred using multi-sensory activities to reinforce math topics, especially more confusing ones like fractions. Creating fraction kits have been around for a while and they are super easy, but I like how this tutorial could be used by a student, since it is very easy to follow along. I am looking forward to viewing more of their vlogs as I am always seeking new ideas for helping students.

@lisengwall4174 6 лет назад

Great lesson! I do a lesson similar to this, but the fraction bars are already on the construction paper. I really like the concept building from the folding and cutting part of this lesson. Do you go back and do sixths and 12ths?

@sharonw7029 5 лет назад

Hi I really enjoyed this video. Great to see the message of visual and hands-on activities to introduce and consolidate concepts in math. I am wondering if you have a preference over using a rectangle over a circle for this task? Obviously easier to measure out a rectangle, would that be all?

@angiemoore8367 7 лет назад

This is fantastic! I'm an Education student and I'm working on some lesson plans and I really like the hands on aspect of this vs a worksheet. I also love the growth mindset attitude! Thanks so much for sharing it!

@jennyadams8834 5 лет назад

I used this activity the morning of receiving the video. I teach fifth grade, I precut the strips, gave basic directions, listen, execute, and listen again. I did pause the video so everyone could keep up and not get frustrated. I gave NO verbal directions. They really enjoyed the hands on activity, then concluded with the worksheet. Once again, little verbal instructions. I am extremely pleased at the independent learning going on right now in my classroom. We began months ago with a Mash Up math puzzle, it was quite laborious. Now, we do numerous puzzles a week, and they whip right through, making it a competition with the winner receiving a food prize. Thank you for your dedication and creativity to teaching.

@carlahousley3393 Год назад

I really appreciate your videos. They really help simplify teaching my son concepts he didn't quite understand in his class. He does really well with these hands on activities like this. If I could make a suggestion though I would ask if you could break down your videos in a playlist format to easily find the type of concept you're looking for. So I can know the start to finish progression of which video to start with and understand a concept of before moving on to the next. Another thought is age or grade based playlist to help organize your videos. Thanks for you time and effort!

That was a nice way of teaching fractions. I LOVE this channel because you guys get down on the child's level and ready teach, the lessons break down what a student may think is a complicated problem, but really very is and non-stressful concepts. My son has learned alot. Thanks.
