Fractions Around Us Pictures

Description

How can I use this product?

Printed in full color, this set of fractions task cards can be used for a math center.  I have used these as prompts for their math journal or as a whole group activity. You can also display these through your computer and lead a whole class discussion. For example, you can show the picture of the six pack of juice and say “If I drank one of the bottles of juice, what fraction did I drink? What fraction is left?” It helps with fractions of wholes (pizza, pie, candy bar, etc) and fractions of sets (pencils, blocks, toys, etc.)
