Editor's Notes
- #28 Activity 15.8Slicing SquaresGive students a worksheet with four squares in a row, each approximately 3 cm on a side. Have them shade in the same fraction in each square using vertical dividing line. You can use the context of a garden or farm. For example, slice each square in fourths and shade three-fourths as in Figure 15.20. Next, tell students to slice each square into equal-sized horizontal slices. Each square must be partitioned differently, using from one to eight slices. For each sliced square, they record an equations showing the equivalent fractions. Have them examine their equations and drawings to look for any patterns. You can repeat this with four more squares and different fractions.What product tells how many parts are shaded?What product tells how many parts in the whole?Notice that the same factor is used for both part and whole
- #29 Give students an equation expressing an equivalence between two fraction but with one of the numbers missing and ask them to draw a picture to solve. Here are four different examples:5/3 = _/62/3 = 6/_8/12 = _/39/12 = 3/_The missing number can be either a numerator or a denominator. Furthermore, the missing number can either be larger or smaller that the corresponding part of the equivalent fraction. (All four possibilities are represented in the examples.) The examples shown involve simple whole-number multiples between equivalent fractions. Next, consider pairs such as 6/8 = _/12 or 9/12 = 6/_. In these equivalences, one denominator or numerator is not a whole number multiple of the other.
