Fun Fraction Review Project

I don't know about you, but I feel like my students need a little fun project to break from the nonstop review - review - review that we are doing right now. Our big state test is in one week and I thought I'd share with you a fun fraction project I plan to complete with them this week. It will review fraction concepts and give them a chance to cut and color :)

All About Fractions - a FREE dodecahedron project

I got this idea from a fellow third grade teacher. She made a larger version for a book report. This is a dodecahedron dedicated to reviewing fraction concepts. Students will review ...

partitioning fractions
naming fractions
shading to show a fraction (area model)
plotting fractions on a number line (with area model help)
plotting fractions on a number line (no area model)
comparing fractions on a number line
equal sharing problems
finding equivalent fractions
changing a fraction to a whole number

Wow! That's a lot in one little project. I plan to have students complete the 6 pages in pencil. No coloring or cutting will be allowed until I check to make sure all work was done correctly. Below is a look at the 6 circle cut outs..

After all circles are cut out - you fold on the sides and glue! I don't have much detailed directions ;) Below is a picture of what it looks like when you start putting the circles together.
