Modern Teaching Mondays: Fantastic Foldables Link Up

Do you use foldables in your classroom?  I am joining Laura Candler's Linky Party to share one of my Fantastic Foldables.  This is a flip book highlighting fractional parts.  It is a simple way to discuss parts of a whole.  I love, love teaching fractions.  Mostly because you can bring in food to show some examples (as long as you follow the nutritional laws--right?!?!)  No, kidding aside, it can be so 'hands-on' and you know how I feel about making it fun.  I love fractions so much I even created a pinterest board with real-world images of examples of fractions.  Check out the board HERE.  And I even made a free list of Top 25 items to show examples of fractions which you can get HERE.  So, foldables...love them! Here is how I made this one...it's a pretty standard flip book:

* Make a standard flip book but then cut the first layer in fourths, the next layer in thirds, the next layer in halves, and the last layer leave whole.  

* When you flip it up, students write examples of the fraction (on the inside)

That's it.  Very simple and easy. 


Join the party!  Just link up at Laura's Blog.

Have a wonderful week!
