Boogie Fractions

Boogie down with newspaper fractions.

Turn the music up! Start out with a full paper as the dance floor, then fold down to one half. Continue folding the paper into smaller and smaller dance floors. What’s the smallest fraction can you get to? Send in a picture of how creative you can get to try to stay on the paper.

Have a fraction picnic

Using a variety of food images cut from magazines or printed out from the Internet, plan a picnic and choose the food they want to bring along. Using a ruler and scissors, cut portions of their food choices and glue them to a paper plate. Finally, label each item with the fraction name. Bon appétit!
