Today my class had a “fraction bootcamp.”
Don’t know what fraction boot camp is? Neither did I until the last 15 min of school on Wednesday when I invented it. Basically, the students rotated through stations practicing all of their operations with fractions. I decided to add an incentive to accurate completion too. For every page or skill they finished or passed, they added a sticker to a hundreds chart. They would shout “Got a sticker!” And everyone in the class would respond, “Whoo!!” It was wild and loud and crazy and chaotic. But I could see pride, accomplishment, effort (and dare I say fun?) in the math class that has been really lacking those things recently.
