​Curriculum Overview

This unit will begin with a dramatic and hands-on experience of fractions. From that entry point, your child will spend this month in activities that bring fractions to life. Food is always a great way to enjoy fractions, so there will be lots of opportunities to divide food into equal parts and eat it!  Please feel free to add this into lessons, even when not part of the guided day. In addition to learning with food, your child will be creating many of their own math manipulatives by drawing. cutting and creating their own fraction shapes to explore with. The main purpose of this first fraction unit is to bring the concept that “a fraction is a part of a whole” to life, and to become comfortable working with fractions in simple ways. Every child learns at their own pace; make space for your child’s way of learning and trust that they will come to grasp this work in their own time.
