Learning Objectives

• Understand the concept of fractions as parts of a whole
• Identify and represent common fractions (e.g., 1/2, 1/3, 1/4) using magnetic tiles
• Develop problem-solving and fine motor skills through hands-on activities

Materials

• Tytan Magnetic Tiles
• Fraction cards displaying various fractions
• Whiteboard and markers

Procedures

1. Introduction (10 minutes):

   • Begin with a brief discussion on fractions, explaining that they represent parts of a whole.
   • Use the whiteboard to illustrate simple fractions, such as 1/2, 1/3, and 1/4.

2. Demonstration (10 minutes):

   • Show students how to create a whole shape using magnetic tiles (e.g., a square).
   • Demonstrate how to divide the shape into equal parts to represent different fractions. For example, divide a square into two equal triangles to represent 1/2.

3. Hands-On Activity (20 minutes):

   • Distribute magnetic tiles and fraction cards to students.
   • Instruct students to select a fraction card and use the tiles to represent that fraction by dividing a whole shape into equal parts.
   • Encourage students to explore different ways to represent the same fraction using various shapes and tile combinations.

4. Group Discussion and Sharing (10 minutes):

   • Have students share their creations with the class, explaining how they represented their chosen fractions.
   • Discuss the different methods used and reinforce the concept that fractions are equal parts of a whole.

Assessment

• Observe students during the hands-on activity to assess their understanding of fractions and their ability to represent them using the tiles.
• Evaluate students' explanations during the group discussion to ensure they can articulate the concept of fractions accurately.

Extension

• Challenge students to represent more complex fractions, such as 2/3 or 3/4, using the magnetic tiles.
• Introduce addition and subtraction of fractions by combining and removing tile sections.
