LESSON 1 Kid Fractions

Mrs. Hunter's class is playing Kid Fractions. These students are at the front of the classroom:

Mrs. Hunter has written the fraction for a certain part of this group. The class is trying to guess what Mrs. Hunter has in mind.

1. Could Mrs. Hunter be thinking of the fraction that are boys? Why or why not?
2. What do you think Mrs. Hunter is thinking?
3. Next, Mrs. Hunter wrote the fraction . Can you guess what she is thinking? Is there a second possibility?
4. Can you think of some other fractions that fit parts of this group? Tell why each fraction fits some part of the group. Make a table of fractions for these students. Use the Writing Numbers in Words page of the Reference section.
