Fraction Unit Test is Coming Up!

The students have been working hard to understand fractions including ordering and comparing fractions.  Today, students will take home several resources from which they can study.  One resources that they have are fraction cards so they can play a game called Capture Fractions.  For more information about this game, please visit a blog post we made earlier in the unit. Students will have their unit test on Tuesday, March 11th. 

Also, students have been given a "Fraction Brain Builder" as an optional assignment to complete this weekend. It is not mandatory; however, it is highly recommended. :) This brain builder is due on Monday (3/10) for a small treat rewarding effort and completeness. 

The third grade standards have the following content limitations: 
-Fractions should have denominators of 1-10, 12, or 16. 
-Items may include fractions of mixed numbers up to and including the whole number 5.  

Students can keep these materials at home. They are welcome to complete any uncompleted pages in their fraction packets in order to prepare for the unit test.  Also, playing the Capture Fractions game is a fantastic way to practice comparing fractions!
