Math CAMPPP 2012
Breakout Session 2Kindergarten to Grade 4
Learning GoalsParticipants will:• Gain an understanding of the various representations for
one half• Recognize and analyze various representations of one
half and some of the common misconceptions• Gain an understanding of the complexity of working with
set models in fractions• Gain an awareness of the existence of fractional
concepts in other areas of the mathematics curriculum

Minds On! Gap Closing Diagnostic
• Which representations of one half would students clearly understand?
• Which representations of one half would likely be confusing for students?
• What misunderstandings may arise?
Action! Solve this problem in several ways

Looking at Student Work• What mathematical understanding do we
see in the work?• Do we see any of the misconceptions
Marian mentioned in the work?• What are some of the misconceptions that
were not part of the plenary?• What strategies could be used to help
students better understand the concept of fractions?

More or less than one half?Prove it!
• Joe struck out 7 out of 17 batters• 8 of the 11 apples were rotten• Bill ate 5 out of 9 cookies• 8 of the 15 seeds that were planted
sprouted
Adapted from Marilyn Burns
To the Curriculum!• Pick a grade K – 4• Find fractional concepts
and understandings in a place/strand where it was previously not anticipated
• How do different models link to the curriculum?
Consolidation – Your Choice:Record: • How can I use this
knowledge to enrich students’ understanding and help them make connections?
Reflect on this quote:• It doesn’t matter
whether the glass is half full or half empty. There is room for more of the liquid treasure.
