Fractions in grade three is about grasping the idea of parts and whole. I want them to see the different sizes of parts and be able to identify how many parts it takes to equal a whole. I want my little mathematicians to be able to describe where fractions are used (sharing a pizza, cooking in the kitchen) and compare fractions so they know if they want 1/4 of a cookie or 1/2. We have just started to name fractions and match the picture to fraction.
We continue to practise being good readers - in social studies today we previewed the picture book, Same, Same But Different, and talked about the pictures on the front and back of the book, made a prediction based on the things we noticed in the picture and the title, asked some questions, and then listened to the story. We then wrote about how close our predictions were to the actual story. Tomorrow we will continue our work and make connections to the story - text to self, text to text, and text to world.
