I used this activity the morning of receiving the video. I teach fifth grade, I precut the strips, gave basic directions, listen, execute, and listen again. I did pause the video so everyone could keep up and not get frustrated. I gave NO verbal directions. They really enjoyed the hands on activity, then concluded with the worksheet. Once again, little verbal instructions. I am extremely pleased at the independent learning going on right now in my classroom. We began months ago with a Mash Up math puzzle, it was quite laborious. Now, we do numerous puzzles a week, and they whip right through, making it a competition with the winner receiving a food prize. Thank you for your dedication and creativity to teaching.

I just did this activity yesterday and used the fractions 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, and 1/8. There are great games you can play with this fraction kit such as 'cover up' or 'uncover' where you make fraction dice and kids work with a partner to play one of the games. You must have exact fraction to move or can trade equivalent fractions to make a move...kids love it.

[@sarabieniada854]

Hi Holly! Could you explain the games further? Would love to do them with my students :)

[@janepoole6287]

Perfect hands on lesson for conceptual learning. I was looking for something to use with adults and this is just the thing.

[@MightBeOkay_here]

I loved this video it is very creative.

[@michelleblaylock61]

Great Lesson and visual !!!!

[@cerrafour]

THANK YOU x a million. So happy I came across MashUp Math. I'm a first grade teacher...but currently homeschooling during this Covid-19 Pandemic. I was never great at math, so teaching my third grader fractions has been interesting. I guess he inherited my math brain, lol. Anyway...great stuff. Will definitely share this page.

[@marissaallette6305]

Thanks for the help😍😍😍😎

[@Kal-622]

Mashup Math I have a interview tomorrow in England teaching a year 5 class and we are making their own lego fractions kit! Stole the idea from your videos and changed it up a bit! Fingers crossed the judgemental adults will like this! and also I hope it won't be boring for the kids

[@luciarodriguez1124]

Thank you for providing the worksheets. I am a student teacher and FREE resources are extremely helpful. I loved doing this activity with the special ed students.

[@sandys2967]

[@sinamose7465]

I like the way you said to let them make the mistakes. WHY? Because that is how they learn. And I love hands on type of math. It's like a game, but at the same time learning math esp fractions which is the most hateful one for a lot of kids. Thank you for sharing this. Great video. AGain, thank you.

[@H3k7m]

I've used this strategy as a flap book for several years and found it to be useful, especially for ESE students. It gives a visual, hands-on look at fractions. Thank you!

Well explained, recommended for beginners.

[@marvamendis2904]

Awesome lesson!

[@debraphillip8249]

You made my heart smile and thank you. Teachers need to find simple ways to teach math that helps students to grasp concepts and not simply leaning how to find the correct answers Fractions are difficult to teach for many of us. This activity is great for all learning types. No more excuses. We will get students to start saying "I love math." Yes we will. Thanks again.
