Materials for Workshop Tables |
|
|
|
|
|
Ideally the teachers should be at flat-top tables in groups of four. Place the following materials on each table: a deck of Fraction Bars and a deck of Fraction Playing Cards for each pair of teachers; a 5-Bars mat for each teacher; a Small Step mat and a Capture mat for each pair of teachers; several sheets of Blank Fraction Bars; and a handful of game markers and die for each pair of teachers. The table for each group of four teachers might look similar to the one shown in the following photo. |

An overhead projector is suggested for this workshop. The following items will be useful: a set of transparent Fraction Bars, overhead water-base markers, extra blank sheets of transparency, and transparencies of game directions, research results, and quotations. Masters for all transparencies occur throughout this outline of the workshop, but for easy reproduction are also contained in the Overhead Workshop Masters file. It is convenient, but not necessary, to make a Posterboard Holder for the transparent Fraction Bars. This can be placed on a tripod or chalk rail near the projector. The following workshop photo shows equality of fractions being illustrated. A Posterboard Holder can be seen in the foreground. |

Display Table of Fraction Bars Materials |
|
|
|
It will be helpful to have a Display Table in the front of the room with Fraction Bars materials, such as the Step-By-Step Teacher's Guide, Teacher Resource Package (includes student worksheets), game mats, etc. During the workshop you may want to refer to some of these items. The Display Table could show all the items in the Classroom Management Center, together with its carrying/storage case. |
