Here is an exciting math lesson I taught my first graders on fractions! On Monday, I read Virginia Kroll's, Equal Shmequal to my students and then on Tuesday they completed a fraction activity using Felicia Bond's, If You Give a Mouse a Cookie!
Common Core State Standard:
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.1.G.A.3Partition circles and rectangles into two and four equal shares, describe the shares using the words halves, fourths, and quarters, and use the phrases half of, fourth of, and quarter of.
Materials:
*Construction paper (different colors)
*Scissors
*Crayons
*Glue sticks
*White printer paper
*Pencils
1. Fold the brown construction paper in half and cut out half a heart with your scissors. The heart you just made will be your mouse's head.
2. With a glue stick, glue the heart onto the top edge of your white printer paper, leaving the top of the heart hanging off of the paper .
3. Bring your mouse to life by adding eyes, a mouth, whiskers, and color to his or her ears with crayons.
4. Using your brown paper, cut two circles. Take one circle and cut it in half and take the other circle and cut it in fourths. Glue your cookies on your white printer paper.
5. Finally write the following sentence starter on your paper and complete the sentence: If you give a mouse a cookie...
Here is the finished product!!!
