Grandma's Quilts ... Fun With Fractions


Picture

Fractions ... Parts of a Whole


Fractions are formed when a whole is divided into equal parts. Children need time to explore and manipulate objects to truly gain an understanding about fractions. Using objects that children are familiar with will aid in their understanding. Quilt blocks make a great visual for children to use to identify fractions. From My Quilted Heart to Yours (Book 2) provides directions on the blocks and quilts used in Grandma’s Quilts. 

Children should be given many opportunities to work with concrete examples (hands on manipulatives) before moving on to more abstract concepts. You will find several enrichment activities at the end of Grandma's Quilts. Click on the links below for additional activities:
