Episode Details

We've had so much fun talking about fractions! In this episode Pam and Kim do another Problem String to demonstrate the effective use of a clock model.
Talking Points:

• What denominators work well for a clock model?
• Example Problem String with non-unit fractions and mixed numbers
• Should we insist on the most simplified fraction answer?
• Problems that work with both money and a clock model
• Today's students need the experience from learning with a clock model
