Fantastic Flip Grid Fractions
The class has been studying fractions for a couple of chapters.
Fractions are a part of a whole. When you take a slice out of a whole, like you would take a slice out of a pizza, you are using fractions!
The numerator, or top number in a fraction, represents how many pieces are used/shaded. The denominator, or bottom number, shows how big each piece is.

Fractions can be used often in our world. For example, when you have a party and want to know how much food to make, or how many pieces out of one pizza a person will eat, you will use fractions to decide how to divide up the food. Or perhaps you're making goodie bags and you've bought a pack of pencils- you need to find out what fraction of the total pencils you'll give to each person.
Sometimes, you need to compare fractions. You may compare fractions with the same numerator, or the same denominator. What a whirlwind of learning!
Students used Flipgrid to show their knowledge of comparing fractions.

Finally, here is the Flipgrid for finding Equivalent Fractions.
More Flipgrids to come as they get published.
