The color tiles lesson I chose was called Fraction Bars. In this lesson,children use Color Tiles to build a fraction bar that represents a whole. They then write a set of clues to enable others to build the fraction bar. Students will be able to develop a model for fractions, use fraction notation, and work with equivalent fractions. I really like this lesson because writing and solving about fractional parts of a whole fraction bar helps children gain a concrete understanding of the meaning of fractions, fractional equivalence, and how fractional parts relate to the
whole. I believe this lesson is grade and age appropriate for grades 3-4.
