To start discussing fractions I created an anchor chart for the new information we were learning to leave up around the room for the kids to refer to when needed. What we discussed was how to write a fraction, numerator and denominator, what a fraction can look like, equal parts, and mixed fractions. After we discussed the different ways fractions can be represented each student created their own fractional kite. They were each given a piece of paper telling them what fractional part of their kite had to be zig-zags, swirls, polka-dots, and stripes. Then they could design their kite anyway they wanted as long as they represented their design correctly as a fractional part of the whole kite.
(Examples of finished work are below)
