Looks like @FractionTalks was offline for a bit after some site updates. All good now (it seems) https://t.co/CFRxzvJmGz

I’ve added the learning journal to guide students as they capture their learning. @pgliljedahl @MathforLove @MrValencia24 @KirstDy @davidporas @davidpetro314 @pamseda1 @FractionTalks @BurdessAlicia @mic_epstein @shskaercher @d_martin05 @Trianglemancsd

Hey #onted friends, I've added Ontario curriculum expectations across grades 1-3, 4-6 and 7-8. Please share with anyone who might find this useful :) https://t.co/bZ1krAsz6z

How many ways can you show one quarter? Gr 7 Ss @LeslieThomasSch used a fraction square to shade 1/4 as many different ways as they could. One question that led to lots of rich conversations. #HRCEMath @FractionTalks

A neat puzzle- 1. Shade any 2 sections 2. What fraction of the square is shaded? 3. What other fractions are possible? Impossible? This puzzle kicked off discussions at an online Maths Teacher Circles session.

I’m using this one today in my summer school class, @BerkeleyEverett! It’s a perfect progression from the @FractionTalks we used on Monday (shown below).

@fawnpnguyen @BerkeleyEverett @Simon_Gregg I do love having kids create! I will also say that I tend to use this as a number talk/@FractionTalks pretty early on in the Gr 4 fraction work, and it really brings out some important ideas around unit fractions and equivalence. But a different purpose than your original tweet!

#fractiontalks Hundreds of options where that came from.

@MarieMcMB @FractionTalks is literally my next stop after the physical tangrams. So great for reasoning! ...and yes, some students want a strategy that works every time. I like hearing all strategies and comparing, noticing, generalizing...😍

You can use any other blocks you want, as long as your triangle includes those three. Incidentally, these blocks are on a pretty great sale on Amazon right now! https://t.co/RCp1fATImb

Here's an interesting #UpscalePB challenge I just stumbled across: what's the minimum number of blocks it takes to make a triangle using all three sizes of triangle block? Here's a polypad version of the problem @MathigonOrg #iteachmath #mtbos

Question(s) for the #fractiontalks community: When you started using the images, what big questions did you have? What do you know now that would help someone starting out? What “pro-tips” do you have to share? #MTBoS #iteachmath #fractiontalk

Kids walk in…together, we complete the first row…visibly random groups and kids are off building… we ask for the “how muchness” of each shape…with some timely hints, we pushed from early skip counting (2’s, 5’s) to groups of (eg, 9 groups of 5). @pgliljedahl @FractionTalks

Plenty of these (plus some teacher tips) where @alicekeeler found this: https://t.co/2v759bV5iM or @FractionTalks

What fraction of the square is shaded? What is your strategy? How did you figure it out? Try this Google Jamboard template: https://t.co/3naNWM5ZU4
