Unit Launch
Get your students thinking and engaging with fractions using Tap in To Teen Mind's 3 Act Math Cover It Up Activity (click the purple link to go to the activity) Students get a chance to explore hands on with fractions and discover things on their own about fractions. I would suggest to do the portion starting at "A Possible Kindergarten to Grade 4 Approach" and stopping when you get to the "What About Older Grades?" portion. There are four tasks you could have your students complete. Go through the tasks in order, but you can stop at any point between tasks 1-4.
