"A Day With Fractions" was a blog that showed how to introduce fractions to elementary students. Fractions can be a difficult concept to understand at first, so the podcast explains how to apply fractions to the real world. The podcast shows how students keep track of all the places they use fractions throughout the day. It starts with the children waiting for the bus and making fractions out of everyone's clothing color. The video shows the children making fractions at recess and how many kids are playing sports. It also shows them making fractions of how many people are in certain reading groups. Having students apply their fraction thinking to everyday life will help them to make sense of their thinking.
