Fractions in Kindergarten can really be a bore. I'm just being honest here. They were easy-peasy for my little ones! Here is a little glimpse at how we tackled fractions last week!
We started with defining what a fraction is. We made this little anchor chart.
Side Note: This size manilla paper is my favorite because the posters take up WAY less room!
We then practiced cutting different shapes into halves and show an example of what was a half and what wasn't a half.
At the end of our week, we sorted the three shapes we worked with (circles, rectangles, and triangles) into equal and unequal.
You can find pieces of what we used HERE in this new Funky Fractions unit.
Too funny! I make all my anchor charts on that size manila paper too! We finished our unit on fractions last week. Your unit is definitely going on my wishlist for next year. Thanks for sharing!

Love this! Do you have to create your own curriculum where you teach or did you use this to supplement? We use EnVision math at my school and in first grade we will hit fractions at the end of the year :) This might come in handy!
ReplyDeleteAlso random but what is the adorable font that says Fraction Anchor Chart sideways on your picture of your chart? :)

A mixture of both. We have our standards to follow, but that is is. So I used this as I taught the concept. We weren't able to use ALL of it because there are parts that I created with my old firstie friends in mind, but we used everything else that aligned to our TEKS. :)
DeleteAs for the font, it's a Kimberly Geswein Font, but I can't remember which one! She is on TpT. Check her out!! She has great work!
