Lesson 3 - Fractions on a Number Line

Hello, Room 3!

 

Guess what? Even if you're tucked away at home because of the rain, our learning adventure never stops. This week, we're stepping into the fantastic world of Minecraft once more!

 

📏 Our Learning Focus: Fractions on a Number Line 📏

 Imagine a big timeline, but instead of dates, it has numbers. Do you know where to put 1/2? How about 1/4? Let’s explore this together and find out!

📺 Starting Point: Let’s Watch! 📺

Before we begin, I have a cool video to get us started. It will show you how to place fractions on a number line, all within our beloved Minecraft universe! Grab your favourite snack and jump right in: Minecraft Education: Fractions on a Number Line (Pike, 2015). Take notes and prepare for your Minecraft mission!

🎮 Minecraft Mission: Fractions Steeplechase! 🎮

Now, for the fun part! We're going on a special mission in Minecraft . In this unique world, you'll race through a 'Fractions Steeplechase', placing those fractions on a number line as you go.

Kick-start your quest here: Fractions Steeplechase in Minecraft Education (Minecraft Education, 2021)

 

🌟 Your Challenge: 

As you journey, capture screenshots of your progress and placements. Later, we'll use these screenshots for Formative Assessment through OneNote journals. Reflect on your journey, the choices you made, and share these insights in your Math Notebook on OneNote.

💌 A Little Reminder:

Embrace every challenge, for with each task, you inch closer to being a fractions maestro. And remember, every challenge you complete and reflection you share adds another layer to your understanding.

 

Stay safe, keep smiling, and happy crafting in the world of Minecraft!
