Sunday Scoop 2/21

It's Sunday Scoop time with Teaching Trio!
My class is have a great time with our unit on fractions. First of all, the kids entered fourth grade with a good understanding...thank you third grade teachers! We incorporate the Rational Number Project in our lessons and they love working on the activities. This week I will use my most recent TPT product as we work on comparing fractional models and numerical fractions.
We won't get to adding and subtracting for a few weeks, but I am ready with new task cards. You're probably thinking there are tons of task cards out there for adding and subtracting fractions...and you are right! In fact, I have purchased several sets. 

This set is designed so that you can mix and match cards tailored for your classroom. When I use task cards with the whole class, I set out the cards (more cards than students) all around the room allowing students to move at their own pace. I can use each set as is or mix and match depending on what we are working on. 
Now, I'm off to make cookies for my newest driver. Be sure to check out Teaching Trio!  Have a great week.
