Materials Required:
Anchor chart titled “Fractions About Us”
List of questions for gathering personal information (e.g., “What fraction of students have a pet?”)
Poster paper or large paper for recording results
Markers or pens for writing
Steps Involved:
Preparation: Create an anchor chart titled “Fractions About Us” to display the results. Prepare a list of questions that students will use to gather information about each other.
Group Formation: Divide students into small groups and distribute the list of questions.
Information Gathering: Have each group use the questions to find out more about their group members and record their findings in the form of fractions (e.g., “1/4 of the students have a pet”).
Creating the Poster: Each group creates a poster showing the fraction facts about their group. They can include details like “1/2 of the students like pizza” or “3/5 of the students have siblings.”
Sharing and Discussion: Have each group present their poster to the class and discuss the fraction facts they discovered. Review the information and fractions as a class to reinforce learning.
