Here's a great interactive whiteboard lesson for decomosing fractions using time or money. I normally don't subscribe to Dreambox Learning because of it's commercial nature. However, now since Dreambox has a blog, I am rethinking a subscription. Each month they will be offering Free Teacher Tools. This one looks like it would be very applicable to our Title I classes with fractions as a learning goal. Understanding time and money is crucial & in the context of fractions - a huge winner! Note that the lesson has a chart correlating the content to the Common Core Standard in Math for 3rd grade. (Doesn't mean that we would use the lesson for 3rd graders with our low performing students.)
For you math T1 teachers, try this using Mimio and let us know what you think.
