Description
In this project students create non-routine fraction images and arrange them on the number line according to their own design. Students can choose from circles, hexagons, squares, coins, or measuring cups to help make their models. The design of these printable sheets leads to innovative and interesting fraction designs. This project works best in small groups of 3-4 students and displays beautifully if using chart paper. This project forces students to discover equivalent fractions in multiple ways and gain spacial recognition of their arrangement.
