Cubes
enable students to relate abstract ideas to concrete activities as they can
see, touch, and combine and compare various pieces!
Your fifty-one piece set includes: one red whole, two pink halves, three
orange thirds, four yellow fourths, five green fifths, six teal sixths, eight
blue eighths, ten purple tenths, and twelve black twelfths.
ACTIVITIES
Unit Fractions
The red cube is equal to one whole unit. Compare the pink cube to the red
cube. It takes two pink cubes to match the height of one red cube. The
pink cubes thus have a value of one-half, as designated. Demonstrate that
same-color cubes are equal in value. Continue comparing cubes to the
unit. Discuss fraction relationships. Incorporate vocabulary terms such as
part, whole, numerator, denominator, equal-sized parts, and unit fraction
in your discussion.
Proper Fractions
Show students how to build same-color proper fractions. Demonstrate
that is made using one yellow cube, is made using two yellow cubes,
and is made using three yellow cubes. Continue this activity by
building various unit and proper fractions with denominators of 3, 4, 5, 6,
8, 10, and 12.
