Math Concept (Beginning Fraction)

For a week (daily) have something edible that can be cut into halves and fourths (i.e. apples, bananas, oranges, sandwiches, etc.). Give the students a visual of the difference between whole, halves, and fourths. Have the students participate in an exercise in which they choose which portion of the fraction they would like for the day. At the end of this teaching segment review what fractions were used in the exercises.  Show what a fraction looks like on the board and explain the whole and all portions chosen.
