We've had so much fun talking about fractions! In this episode Pam and Kim do another Problem String to demonstrate the effective use of a clock model.
Talking Points:

  • What denominators work well for a clock model?
  • Example Problem String with non-unit fractions and mixed numbers
  • Should we insist on the most simplified fraction answer?
  • Problems that work with both money and a clock model
  • Today's students need the experience from learning with a clock model
