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
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!
@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!

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
