Fraction Tales

Introduction

Welcome, young mathematicians! Have you ever wondered how to make fractions fun and exciting? Today, you're going to dive into the world of fractions by creating your very own pop-up book. Not only will you learn about halves, quarters, and more, but you'll also get to show off your creativity by designing a book that pops right off the page! Ready to get started? Let’s go on this fraction adventure together!

Task

Your mission is to create a colorful and interactive pop-up book all about fractions. You will be working in small groups to design pages that teach others what fractions are and how they work. Each page will pop up with exciting shapes and pictures that show different fractions, like 1/2, 1/3, and 1/4. By the end of this WebQuest, you’ll have a fantastic book to share with your classmates and family, showing everything you have learned about fractions!
