Fraction Action!!

First graders have been discussing equal parts over the last couple of weeks, focusing on halves, thirds and fourths.  The students have been challenged to cut objects into these parts and label the fractional pieces.  To put our knowledge of fractions into 'action', we used Hershey bars to help us practice this concept.  We will continue working with fractions through the remainder of the year and will soon be comparing fractional parts to one another! Challenge your firstie to show off his/her fractional skills for you!
