Yummy Fractions!

Recently, the first and second grade students completed a chapter on fractions.  Part of their assessment was to complete a snack following fraction directions that I gave.  For instance, the first direction was to cover the whole circle with peanut butter and the next direction was to cut the snack into equal halves, and so on.  Not only did the students love this activity, but they were able to demonstrate how well they understood and could apply the concepts learned in the chapter.  Of course, when the students completed the activity they were allowed to eat their work...which was a pretty fun and yummy job!
