For the culmination of our study of fractions, second grade students created a fraction museum in their classroom. Each student curated his or her own fraction exhibit using materials brought in from home. There was a wide range of exhibits, from stuffed animals to nail polish to skittles. As each second grader perused the fraction museum, they had to find fractions that were equal to 1/2, less than 1/2 and greater than 1/2. They had a great time checking out what their peers had brought in. Through their exhibits, second graders did a great job showing their understanding of fractions as part of a whole and their grasp on fraction size.
