I use this help students make sense of equivalent fractions and deepen their understanding. It gives students an opportunity to work with fractions that are equivlanet to 1/4, but also identify fractions that are not equivalent to 1/4. This activity will reinforce the concept that when making equivalent fractions the numerator and denominator need to be multiplied by the same number. It's like multiplying by a whole or one, that's why the fractions are equivalent.
After reading To Kill a Mockingbird, students will continue to study the theme of taking a stand as they finish the novel. They will develop their argument writing skills through scaffolded writing lessons, culminating in a literary analysis essay in which they argue whether or not it made sense, based on Atticus’s character, for him to have taken a stand and defend Tom Robinson.
