May 23rd bonus post - Delano's largest fraction diagram (edited)

Notice: Above left he started with 5 x 10 = 50 (2 wholes).
                                               5     5     25
Then (upper right) he expanded the drawing to be 8/5 "over" and 10/5 "up", equaling 80/5, which we reduced to 3 and 1/5.


In this work, children practice multiplication facts as they develop an understanding of fractions.


Well. that's all for today!
