This morning
in math, we were learning about fractions. Ms. Kaiser brought Cheerios,
Craisins, marshmallows, Chocolate Chips, and Peanuts. There was a paper that
had a place where we could put a name for what we were making. We were making a
trail mix. The paper also had a place where we could write down the ingredients
and a place where we could write down the directions. When it was our turn, we
would go and sit down in a chair at Ms. Kaiser’s back table. Then we got the
paper and wrote down our ingredients and our math equation. When we were done
writing, Ms. kaiser let us use a measuring cup to measure ⅛ . Then we would
pick the ingredient we wanted to start with and we measured it in 8ths. If we picked
⅜ for cereal, then we would measure out ⅛ + ⅛ + ⅛ to make ⅜. We would dump it
in our bag and go to the next ingredient. Once all our ingredients were in the
bag, we had a total of 8/8ths or 1 whole cup of trail mix. When we got home, we
could show our parents what we did and then eat it.
