Education is the most application of technology in our classroom. As we have done in the past, the
powerful weapon students will be working with iPads and online resources to enhance their
which you can use to understanding of fractions. We will be implementing two new and extremely useful
programs this week, The National Library of Virtual Manipulatives (NLVM) and
change the world." EverydayMathematics Equivalent Fractions Equivalent Fractions Solitaire with
Pictures! While these programs are just being introduced to the students this week,
-Nelson Mandela we will be using them frequently throughout the remainder of the school year. I
recommend you familiarize yourself with the NLVM by accessing the site at home
in order to further help your child! I have provided a brief overview of the programs
below for your convenience. If there are any questions regarding the
implementation of the programs, do not hesitate to contact me!
All the best,

EverydayMathematics Equivalent
Fractions Equivalent Fractions
Solitaire with Pictures
Objective
The objective of EverydayMathematics Equivalent
Fractions is to further ones knowledge of equivalent
fractions through a fun and interactive game of solitaire. After
watching the instructional video, explaining the rules and
strategy behind solitaire, students can begin to play by
matching up cards that display equivalent fractions (as
displayed on the left). For students requiring additional help in
grasping the concept, there is also a
Guided Play option, which takes a more
supportive approach to teaching and
learning. As the students continue to
match the cards and gain knowledge of
what equivalent fractions look like, they
gain points and can go on streaks
increasing the exciting nature of learning math and, therefore,
peaking their interest!
