Gobles Elementary School

In 4th grade, students were exploring equivalent fractions by splitting up Playdoh into different size pieces.  The use of manipulatives such as Playdoh are a great way to help students "see" the math they are doing in a different way.  It also increases student engagement and creates a learning environment where student learn in a variety of ways.  The smiles on their faces says it all!  With the right tools, even difficult math concepts can be fun!
