Place Value Tents
Materials needed: 2 colors of cardstock, BLM, scissors
Prepare these ahead of time. Decide if you want students to work
individually or in pairs to determine how many sets of Place Value Tents
you will need. Copy and cut apart. Fold in half.
1. The thousand cards and the tens cards need to be on the same color
of cardstock.
2. The hundreds and ones cards will be on the second color of
cardstock. This way when numbers are built, the colors will be
alternated making it easier to see if the number is correct.
3. Example: If you are building the number 3,987 - you would use
\.
• The 3,000 card as the base card
• Place the 900 card on top of the 3,000 card leaving only the 3 on
the 3,000 card visible
• Place the 80 card on top of the 900 card leaving the 3 and 9 on
the previous cards visible
• Place the 7 card on top of the 80 card leaving the 3, 9, and 8 of
the previous cards visible
Students may now lift up each flap and write the number in
expanded form. 3,000 + 900 + 80 + 7
Some students will try to use the ones cards in all places. This is one
reason that the colors of cards are alternated. It makes it easy to
check. When students use the ones in the hundred or tens place
(
i
....
simply explain why the 8 card can't be used for 80, etc.

number that will make this statement true: 2,863 <
students turn to their partner or to their group and come up with one question they would
like answered about that statement. The teacher will write the questions on the board.
Next, the students will use prior knowledge about place value to answer the questions
generated by the class.
Next. have the students play Spin and Win to provide additional practice with large
numbers. They will need the Ten Digit Spinner BLM, a pencil, and a paper clip to make a
spinner. I. Place the point of a pencil through a large paper clip. 2. Place the point of the
pencil on the center of the spinner. 3. Adjust the paper clip so that the end of the paper
clip is on the center of the spinner. 4. "Flick" the paper clip to spin it.

Have them play the game with a partner. Using the Spin and Win BLM and the Ten Digit
Spinner BLM, they will try to build the largest number possible. A turn is signified by
each player spinning, the Ten Digit Spinner BLM six times. After each spin the player
decides where to place the digit he has spun. Once a digit is placed on the paper, it cannot
be moved. After all six digits are written down, the player reads his number. The partner
does the same thing. Together they must use the correct symbols «, >, =) to record the

\laterials List: Fractions on Grids BLM, crayons. math learning log, pencil
Use Fractions on Grids BLM to demonstrate fractions as part of a whole. Help students begin to
understand the connection between fractions, decimals, and percents by relating them through
money. Discuss the denominators that will be used to show varying amounts of money (the
denominator for pennies in a dollar is I OOths, dimes in a dollar would be IOths, quarters in a
dollar could be 4ths, etc.) Demonstrate for students how to color in 50¢ on the Jirst grid of the
Fraction and Grids BLM. Take them through each step as you discuss the equivalent decimals,
fractions, and percents for 50¢. Have the students complete the other grids on their own, stopping
for class discussions when needed. (I quarter as .25 or 25/ 100, or or 25% of a dollar; 6 dimes
+
as .60 or 60/l00, orTo' or 60% of a do lIar; 3 quarters as .75 or75/100, or

BASIC FRACTIONAL CONCEPTS VIA
FRACTION STRIP ACTIVITIES
l\latcrials needed for activities:
Fraction Cube~ (each cube labeled 1/16, 1/16, 1/8, 118, 1/1 , and 1/2)
Strips of Paper in Five Colors
Scissors
i\farkers
Recording Sheets
')
,\CTIVITY 1: MAKING FRACTION STRIPS
~OTE:
The advantage of baving students make a sd of strips is that they physically
fold each strip into a given number of EQUAL paIts and label each part with its
:.:rpropri~1te fr~ction n:1111e. Through the process of mak.ing lhe strips, students eM
Ji~cover or the teacher can guide shldents to constmct the following understandings:
• Fractional parts of a whole arc EQUAL parts of the whole
• The meaning of the boltom nwnber (denominator) in a fractional number
~
.[he meaning of the top munber (numerator) in a fractional number
• There are many (in1inite) fractional names for I identified whole region
(1= 1/1,2/2, .. .4/4 ....16/16... )
• There are different names for the same amount of an identified whole
region (1/2 = 2/4, ..., % = 6/8, ... )
• Identify fractional amounts of an identified whole as being equal to, less
than, or greater than each other
• The more equal parts the same sized whole is divided into the smaller the
value of each part
)
Procedures:
3.
Have students place the blue strip at the bottom of lheir desk or llible and label
1 Whole
b.
c.
Have students place the red whole on top of the blue to verify that it is the same size.
Have students fold the red strip so that it makes two equal pieces and cut on fold
line. Guide students to name each part ~i because the whole has been divided into 2
equal parts and each part is one ofthe two equal parts ... or one of the halves
(depending on vocabulary that has been developed).
Follow same procedure folding, cutting, and labeling the green strip in fourths, the
orange strip in eighths, and the yellow strip in sixteen1.hs.

d.
Have students display cut-out fractional strips one above each other with the one
whole strip on the bottom, followed by halves, fourths, eighths, and sixteenths.
e.
Have students observe the fractional Jisplay and share observations noted. Since
';ome of the observations will represent profound understandings of fractional
concepts, consider recording the statements on chart paper. As new fractional
understandings \)r concepts are shared, they can be added to this chart offraction
j;/cts JiscQvereJ. Th~ chart also provides a visual for those leamers whose learning
is Jcpendent on visual representations knowledge, concepts, al1l1lor generalizations.
Or, following d above, muve to Activity 1.. .. Students will have opportunities to
make sinular observations with activities that follow.
ACTIVITY 2: DIFFERENT FRACTIONAL NAMES - SAME VALUE
Purpo~e:
To detcmlinlt difTerent fractional n~l1nes that represent the same value
or amount of a given whole stri p.
To determine different fractional names that represent the same value
or amOlUlt.
Procedures:
a. Have students place one hand on each end of the one whole
strip. Have students identify this strip from end to end as the
whole strip. Then, have students move their hands to the ends
of the two Yz pieces. Ask students if the two half pieces cover
the same amount of space as the one whole. To prove this
have students place the whole strip over the two Yz pieces.
Once the relationship is verified by all, record the relationsrup
on the board in equation fonn. (1 = 2/2)
Next, have students move their hands to the ends of the four
l/4 pieces. Ask students if the four 1/4 pieces cover the same
mnount of space as the one whole. Once again to prove this
rel:1tionship, have students place the whole strip over the four
'II
pieces. Once the relationship is verified by all, add to the
equations recorded earlier.
(l = 2/2 = 4/4)
Continue this procedure until the equation reads 1=2/2
~/4=8/8= 16/ 16.
=
Ask students to predict the fractional value of 1 if the whole
:;trip was cut into 3 equal pieces,
20 equal pieces .....Add
this information to the equation 3/3 ... 20/20 ... When
clppropriate, have students verbalize the characteristics of any
fractional name for one and justifY the explanation. It should
make sense .... based on logical reasoning. If using the
Fraction l:"acfs Discovered l:hart, alid the generalization
discovered by students to the chart. Use verbiage as close to
their description/explanation as possible.
h. Find other fractional names for one-half using the display of
Cr:lctional strips and the provided equivalency strip.
Lin~
up the equivalency strip where the two one half strips
meet. Observe the value of one-half and "travel up the
equivalency strip" to identify amounts of other strips that
equal the same amount (take up the same amount of space) as
the ace-half strip.
Record the equivalent values as done with the equivalent
values of 1 whole. (1/2 =:: 2/4,4/8,8/16)
c. Use the
~quivalency
strip to iJcntify other equivalent
r~lationships such as 1/4 = ..... ; % == ... ; 2/8 == ... ; 4116 = .... ;
... continue by identifying other equivalencies.

ACTI VITY 3: COVER THE \VHOLE STRIP
Purpose:
To completely cover the one whole strip with other fractional parts
contained in the fraction kit.
Procedure:
<l.
Each student places the whole strip labeled "one whole" in
tront ofhimJher. (Two or three students play together.)
b. Stud~nts take turns rolling the fraction number cube.
c. 'me fraction that appears face-up on the cube tells the player what
piece to put on the whole strip. Fractional pieces may not
overlap. All players must agree on the placement of fraction
pieces on the whole. When a student is finished with a turn, '
he/she says, "Done" and passes the fraction cube to the next
player.
J. To end a rolU1J 0 f this game, the player must roll the exact
fractional name for the fractional amount that is needed to cover
the whole strip.
G. Remove all pieces from the one whole strip and playas many
rounds as time will allow.

Procedures: a.
E::lch student completely covers the strip labeled "one
whole" with two one-half pieces.
b. Students take turns rolling the fraction number cube.
c. The fraction that appears f::lce-up on the cube tells the player
the fractional amount that must be removed from the one
whole strip. Pl~yers may need to exchange equal fractional
values in order to make the uncover mo ve. 1llC fractional
piece that is removed must mutch the fr~ction face-up on the
number cube. If 1/8 on the cube, a 1/8 piece must be
removed, not two II l6ths. All players must agree on the
placement of fraction pieces on the whole. When a student
is ti.nished with a tum, he/she .says, '"Done" and passes the
rraction eube to the next player.
d. To end a round of this game, the player must roll the exact
fractional name tor the fractional amount that is needed to

Uncover Options:
Alter students have played the traditional game a number of times, allow
them to cover the one whole in such a way thDt they think will result in their
having to make the fewest value exchanges. I-fowever. students must remove
the value that is face-up on the fraction cube. As the game proceeds, each
stHd~r!.t keeps a record of each value exchange required. (Recording sbeet is
proviJed.)After several rounds of the game, have students share initial cover
options that seem to require the fewest value exchanges. Have students offer
explanations for their observations.

remove a 1/8 pieceor two 1/16 pieces. 13efore the round begins, ask students
to explain why they covered the whole strip as they did. Students keep a
record of aJl actions made during the round. (Recording sheet is provided.) After
several rounds of this option, record on the board any cover options that most
consistently re4uires the fewest number of plays to completely uncover the
whole. Ask students to offer explanations for result(s).
ACTIVITY 5: COVER TilE \VHOLE STRIP - CONNECTING CONCEPTUAL TO
ABSTRACT
Playa rowld of the game of "Cover the Whole Strip" together wilh the teacher
rolling the fraction cube for each turn and all students placing the same indicated
fr3ctional piece on the whole strip. Once everyone's whole strip is covered, ask
a stuJent to call out the name of each fractional stri p lhat has been placed on the
",.. hole strip. As the fractional names ,~re called out, the teacher rccords each
tractional value on [he bo:u-d in equation form. (113 + j/16 + 14 + il16 + ~4 + 1/8
t- 118 = 1) Then the teacher asks students to help determine if there is a simpler
way to rccord these amounts. Guide students to grouping same-sized fractions
together, such as 2/16 + J/8 + 2/4 = 1.
)
! bve students playa round of the game according to the original directions.
When the whole is completely covered, each student records the pieces covering
the whole in equation form. The student then rewrites the equation in the
simplest form. Students can pass equations written to another player who review
:.1nd initials if he/she th..inks correct. Playas many rounds as possible having
students first record all actions and then record by grouping like parts together.
Instead of playing in game fonnat, have each student cover their whole in five or
more ditTercnt ways and record on a recording sheet the original and simplified
equation for each coverage of the whole strip. (Recording sheet is provided) Students
can exchange their recording sheet with a partner to check the accuracy of the
simplitied equation.
If appropriate for your students, ask students to look at a covering eql4ltion such
as 2/16 + 3/8 + 2/4 = 1 and work with a partner to reWlite so that each fraction
uses the same sized parts. (For example, 2/16 + 6/16 + 8/16 = I or 1/8 + 3/8 + 4/8 = 1)
This builds strong foundation for tinding common denominators.

Money Foldable
Look at the foldable basic directions. Follow the direction for the
layered book. After you have created a layered book using two
pieces ofconstruction paper and using a hotdog fold, staple a whole
sheet of construction paper on the back. This will give you 5 layers.
Put the dollar on the top layer. Cut the next layer in half and glue
the half dollar on each part. You may label the parts like the sample
or have students put different ways to write the m.oney amount on
differentparts. You decide. Cut the next layer in 4ths and put the
quarters. Label each piece however you want. Cut the next layer in
lOths. Glue the dim.es on and label. The final layers is cut into 20ths.
This layer is labeled only.
)
Once the book is complete, you could have students lift up the flaps
and draw different coins to make the amount on the flap.

Help students develop an understanding of standard liquid measurement by
constructing "GALLON MAN." I1's easy, it's fun, and students will create
a concrete model for use as a resource mtil they master the concept.
Materials Needed
small paper plates
4 sheets colored paper
SCIssors
Procedure
1. Use the paper plate for the head of the figure.
)
2. Use 1 whole sheet of paper for the body. Write 1 gallon on the page.
3. Use a different color sheet of paper to create the quart. Fold the page
into four equal parts and cut apart. Glue the 1/4 pieces to the body as
arms and legs.
4. Use a different color sheet of paper to create the pint. Fold the page into
~
equal parts and cut apart. Glue two 1/8 pieces to the unattached end
of the arms and legs.
5. Use a different color sheet of paper to create the cup. Fold the page into
sixteen equal parts and cut apart. Glue two 1/16 pieces to each of the
unattached end of the arms and legs.
Discussion
1. Ask students if they see any patterns in creating "Gallon Man (or
woman)."
\)
2. Ask students conversion questions (i.e. number of cups needed to make a
pint, quart or gallon).
3. Have students develop questions they could ask someone who is looking
at their creation.
4. Use everyday containers (measuring cup, pint milk carton, gallon orange
juice bottle) to prove the model's measurements are correct.
5. At a later date, have students visualize "Gallon Man (or woman)" and
orally, or on paper, create the model from memory.
6. Students may want to name their model. Have students write a short story
about uGalIon Man (or woman)."
7. Let students work in groups to develop measurements larger than one
gallon (i.e. number of quarts, pints, or cups in 3 gallons).
