Getting hands-on and letting kids create is an easy
solution to the math blahs. It’s summertime (or you’re reading this in December,
wishing it was the summer), so I thought I’d go with a beach ball theme. This
kids’ craft really couldn’t be much easier. It’s a super simple fraction
activity – and a beach ball felt ‘board’ (technically, it’s more of a circle
than an actual board). You can also use this as a math game with younger kids
to build counting skills and color recognition!
Here’s What You’ll Need:
·
2 8x10-inch pieces of craft felt in different
colors
·
Scissors
Here’s What to Do:
1. Fold
one piece of felt in half.
2. Cut
half a circle out.
3. Open
the circle.
4. Fold
the other piece of felt inside of the circle.
5. Cut
a second circle, using the first one as a template.
6. Cut
one of the circles into four equal pieces.
7. Place
all of the pieces onto the circle to make a whole.
8. Remove
one piece. Have your child to count how many are left. Ask what the fraction is
(3/4 or three out of four).
9. Take
away another piece to make ½, and then another to make ¼.
10. Add pieces, making fractions that build up
to a whole. Your child can vary the positions, exploring how she creates the
same amounts even though the beach ball looks different.

ReplyDeleteI say "lifestyle" since what I can be sure of is that "eating great" can some of the time be something an individual does with disdain since they feel "penance" is expected to take on a solid lifestyle.
