Puppet Show

Another wonderful puppet show explaining how to convert fractions.  I love how creative these students are! They added a background with the green screen... too  bad our screen isn't a little bigger! :)

Yet another!

Here is a puppet show, showing how to convert mixed numbers. Another wonderful skit!!

Mixed Number Conversion

Another wonderful way to demonstrate how to convert mixed numbers!  These students are on a roll!

Math Newscast!

Here is another creative version of how to convert mixed numbers to improper fractions. Awesome job boys!!

We had an amazing opportunity today... we had a Google Hangout with Joe Delgrave, an athlete on the USA Paralympic Wheelchair Rugby Team.  I am so proud of the 5th Graders and the questions they were asking.  These students were very curious but made sure they asked questions in a way that would not offend him. The students asked about his sport, how he became involved in it, how he made the USA Team, what his game day ritual is, etc. Below is a picture I took during their discussion.

Here is his interview from when he was selected to play for the USA.

Mixed Number to Improper Fractions

In class students have been creating songs/poems/stories/etc. to explain the process of converting a mixed number into an improper fraction.  Here is the first group... AWESOME JOB GIRLS! **We even had some fun experimenting with a green screen! :)
