Download or read book Investigate Fractions written by Catherine Twomey Fosnot and published by Firsthand. This book was released on 2010-10 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The rich, open investigations we've developed allow children to engage in mathematizing in a variety of ways. We honor children's initial attempts at structuring and modeling their world mathematically, while at the same time supporting and challenging them to ensure that important big ideas and strategies are being developed progressively." Catherine Twomey Fosnot Learn how to establish a vibrant, collaborative math workshop for students in grades 4 through 6 and how Catherine Fosnot and her colleagues introduce fractions and compare fractional amounts. Through 2 foundational books-Investigating Fractions, Decimals, and Percents: Overview and Field Trips and Fund-Raisers: Introducing Fractions-and eight online video clips, Cathy and her colleagues provide the strategies, lesson plans, and tools you'll need to transform your classroom into a community of young mathematicians. In the Overview book Cathy provides the professional understandings needed to establish a vibrant math workshop. After chronicling the motivations and ideals that inspire her work, Cathy describes how to help students construct the big ideas, strategies, and models that shape the landscape of learning. Ensuing sections describe the architecture of an investigation and explain how the predictability of this framework fosters independence and collaboration. In addition to describing the management systems that make these investigations rigorous and responsive, Cathy suggests ways to sequence instruction and highlight how units can be used to enhance your existing curriculum. Like the other units in the Contexts for Learning Mathematics series, Field Trips and Fund-Raisers: Introducing Fractions provides a two-week sequence of investigations, minilessons, games, and other contexts for learning. The fair-sharing of submarine sandwiches on a school field trip provides the context for exploring big ideas related to fractions in this unit. In attempting to settle arguments about the fair distribution of sandwiches, students explore the connection between division and fractions as well as ways to compare fractional amounts. As the unit progresses, students use the double number line as a model and explore equivalent fractions. The nine accompanying video clips include live from-the-classroom video footage of the unit in action and narrated slide shows that describe the ideals that shape the math workshop and the thinking behind the Contexts for Learning Mathematics series. (Video clips are free for 6 months upon registration. You must register within 6 months of purchase.) Learn more about these resources and the series at www.contextsforlearning.com.
