What do you do on a long weekend? Well, if you're a teacher, you plan, plan, plan ... (that being said, I did enjoy some fun family time, and got a bit of baking done, too).
I've been thinking ahead to my next math units. I'm doing geometry next (and I CAN'T WAIT to use the Angry Bird nets I found).
But then, after geometry, comes ... fractions. I spent some of my free time this weekend creating a new collection of cootie catchers to help my students review fractions. There are seven different cootie catchers included: reducing fractions, equivalent fractions, improper fractions, mixed numbers, converting to decimals, converting to percents, and comparing fractions. My students have almost come to expect some kind of new cootie catcher each month, so I think they'll be happy with these. I gave the cover page a new look, too. You can take a peek at my new Fraction Cootie Catchers by clicking on the picture to the right.
And ... just because I LOVE three day weekends ... want a chance to get a copy for FREE? Be one of the first 5 people to leave me a comment below with your email address, and I'll email you a copy.
Happy Monday!
