The Fraction Kit (2, 4, 8)

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Construct a fraction kit with your elementary classes. Each learner will get various strips of colored paper. As a class, they fold the different colors into different sizes to recognize that each represents a different fraction. When they've completed folding the strips, they can compare them to determine which is the largest, smallest, etc.
