Goal

My goal is to strengthen students’ understanding of fraction operations by using hands-on playdough manipulatives to model adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing fractions
Description

Students use playdough to create, partition, combine, and compare fractional parts. By physically modeling fractions, learners can visualize how fraction operations work and connect abstract math concepts to concrete experiences.
Benefits

Using playdough as a hands-on math manipulative provides students with a concrete and engaging way to explore fraction concepts, including adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing fractions. By physically shaping, dividing, and combining playdough, students can see and feel how fractions work, which helps bridge the gap between abstract symbols and meaningful understanding.
