I wish I could add more stars to this one!!! This mat really helps kids see the difference in fraction sizes. Students start off on 1/2, they jump and say”1/2″‘ then jump 2/2 and say “2/2”. Then they laterally jump to the 1 and say equals “equals one whole”. They then do this for thirds, fourths, all the way up to tents. Students finally understand the difference between say 1/2 and 1/10 ( and other fractions)because they physically feel it… It takes ten small jumps to get to one whole when they go by tenths and two big jumps to get one whole when the go by halves. It has given my students so many “lightbulb” moments!
