We explored the concept of a 'whole' in relation to factions and decimals.
We began with assigning a valid to to one manipuative and students needed to find out what the other values would be. One Hexagon = Two Trapezoids= 3 Rhombuses= 6 triangles If we said One Hexagon was $1 student knew that two trapezoids fit into one hexagon. So the value of one trapezoid was 1/2 of a$1 or $0.50. We then extended our understanding to assign different values. If one triangle is worth $0.25 what would a Rhombus be worth? Two triangle fit inside a Rhombus so it would be would the value of one triangle or $0.50 We created shape are and then assigned a value to one shape and found out the value of a art pieces with our original assigned values Have a look at our creations and our understandings Comments are closed.
