2nd grade Fraction Models
Using models to explore fractions!
I have been teaching fractions these last couple of weeks, but tomorrow I get to introduce improper fractions to my second graders. I already have my lesson all planned out and we are going to have a blast.
First, I am going to call them to the carpet and introduce improper fractions on an anchor chart. Using the anchor chart in beneficial because the students can refer back to it later if needed.
Towards the end of the school year we start comparing fractions.

An
improper fraction is a fraction whose top number (numerator) is bigger than the
bottom number (denominator). An improper fraction is not wrong, but since the
numerator, which represents the parts of the whole, is larger, the fraction
actually represents a whole number and a fraction.
Guided Practice: Create and work improper fractions with students by rolling dice and using the overhead projector.
Independent / Group Work: Match the fraction words to the numbers then draw a matching picture to go with the fraction.
