Fraction Hopscotch

Equivalent fractions isn't something that is hit on really heavy in third grade but it is definitely something that the kids were seeing now and again and was on MAP testing so I wanted to find a way to make them more familiar with fractions that were equivalent and what that meant. One of the ways I did that was by creating a Fraction Hopscotch in the back of the room that they could play on. I just used regular masking tape and put it down while they were in Music one day (so took about 30 minutes). To play they through a bean bag and wherever it landed they had to hop over that fraction while saying it and the other ones that were equivalent to it.
I was unsure if this was going to actually help but wanted to try it and it paid off the other day... We were working on morning work and equivalent fractions came up in a problem and one of the girls raised her hand and told the fraction and I asked her if she looked at the hopscotch board and she said no, she just remembered from playing it the day before!! Ah, the thrills of being a teacher =]
