lesson with playdoh

Today we are working with playdoh to prepare for our units cooking lesson. The cooking lesson calls for the student to tear biscuits in half. To prepare for this lesson, we are pretending to make and tear biscuits in half. I make my own playdoh, and have themed this playdoh for St. Patrick's day. The students take a chunk out of the container and pat it out into a nice thin layer. They then take one of the circle cookie cutters and make a pretend biscuit. After they have made their biscuits, they tear them in half. The stack of fraction cards came from a website called Sparklebox. I will reuse this playdoh next week with some St. Patricks's day vocabulary playdoh cards. Happy playdoh playing!

working with 1/2

This unit we are covering the fraction 1/2. This activity has the students pouring rainbow rice into cups. They are to fill the cup 1/2 way. The red line on the cup is there for visual support. Eventually the red line will go away and they will fill the cup without the visual support. This also helps the student with their ability to pour items into another container.
