On Tuesday for math we reviewed fractions and the difference between improper and proper fractions as well as mixed numbers. Each student was required to write one of the three on a slip of paper given to them. The students then switched papers in hopes of them getting a slip of paper with a fraction, either in a different format from the one they wrote down, or a fraction that was not familiar to them. This would require them to draw upon their past experiences and interactions with fractions as well as the definitions reviewed to classify the fraction correctly. Having taught fractions back home to my fifth grade class I was very pleased with their knowledge an understanding of fractions as third graders. This objective is part of the Standard I Belizean "standard course of study."
