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.
