The Great Fraction Race!

Molly introduced third graders to the "Great Fraction Race!"
Students spin two spinners.  One spin tells them the unit fraction
they will use and the other spin tells them how many of that 
particular unit fraction they will add to the number line.  
The possible fractions students can spin are 1/8, 1/4, 1/2. 
 Today's spin was for three  1/2's.  Students then looked
at how these three 1/2's might be recorded.  They then 
learned about "improper" and the "mixed" fractions!
