🎉 Fraction Frenzy Kickoff

Students rotate through fast-paced relay stations: matching equivalent fractions with fraction strips, placing unlike fractions on a giant floor number line, and comparing grocery product fractions (e.g., 1/2 lb vs 3/4 lb) using <, =, >. The teacher introduces the Essential Question: “How can we compare different fractions to decide which is larger or smaller?” and frames the challenge of helping real grocery shoppers compare fractions accurately.
