Fractions

Mrs Ferris introduced us to a new game today.  The game is called Fraction Fortress. This is a great game and helps students build an understanding of the variety of fractions that can be used to make a whole. Jett and Nikora worked really hard to identify which fractions would work and there was a lot of great conversation happening!
