Small Group Activity:
 Using
various manipulatives, create the
following equivalent fractions:
2 = 4
3
6
You can use pattern blocks, fraction pieces or
model a set of items (such as counters).
Find the fraction or picture that matches the
one you hold. Every student has a partner in
the room that has their equivalent fraction.
Find that person and stay with them!

Remember that constructed responses are always
evaluated, so treat them like one!
Your constructed response will not be taken in
for at least 30 minutes
When you are finished you can work on the POTW
or you may read, no one will use the computers
during constructed responses
