I am absolutely thrilled to share with you My Education Junction’s very own candy bar fractions worksheet. Now you can continue to practice your fractions long after your candy bar is gone. I had planned on saving the worksheet for next week, but I just could not wait that long. I am ecstatic with how it turned out, and I have Randa Clay to thank. She did a magnificent job!
I will not be posting over the weekend. We are heading off to visit my parents and go to Put-n-Bay. Please stop by next week, because I will be having posting a Back to School Contest ~another first me, and I am soo excited!

I didn’t know about lattice multiplication, but in fairness my son has just begun to multiply. I only learned about it after visiting a Ning community.
Lattice multiplication is a system where you use a grid to multiply numbers. I think using this method makes multiplying larger numbers far more understandable. While Nick has a grasp on single digits, he’s horrified when you offer up double digit problems. Lattice multiplication breaks down multiple digit problems into single digits so they are much more manageable.
Watch this short video below. It demonstrates how you use the lattice.
I hope you find this as useful as I did

It’s funny how life works. I was completely unaware of Ohio Treasure Chest until I came across the Rippling Ponds Blog which is written by Kathy Shields in Alpharetta Georgia. Ohio Treasure Chest provides lists of websites catagorized by grade and subject matter. It then breaks down resources by the following:
Web Resources - Educational web sites that support that indicator - This is the main focus of the Treasure Chest
Lesson Plans - Lessons that help teach that indicator (Note: This section is new and still developing)
Connections - Other indicators in any content area that relate to that indicator - Or click to get full list for this subject and grade
Comments - General comments or ideas related to that indicator (Note: This section is new and still developing)
Assessments - Assessment questions related to that indicator (Note: This section is new and still developing)
The site was created by the Canton School system, and I applaud their efforts. It is great seeing a public school system embracing technology and providing an open resource to guide students in Canton and beyond. Check it out!

Here’s a great recipe for teaching fractions. I found it on the website for Family Fun Magazine. It’s called Giant Cowboy Cookies and it calls for M&M’s. Quite a few lessons can come out a family size bag of M&M’s. And they all taste soooo good!
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1 cup butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 cups rolled oats
2 1/2 cups total mix-ins: semisweet chocolate chips, M&M’s, chopped walnuts or other nuts, and/or raisins or other dried fruit.
Directions
1. Heat the oven to 350° F. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and both sugars, then beat in the eggs. Stir in the vanilla extract. Finally, stir in the flour mixture.
3. Using a spatula, fold in the rolled oats until thoroughly combined. Pour the desired mix-ins into separate small bowls and ask your child to select and measure 2 1/2 cups total of her favorites. She can then fold her choices into the dough.
4. Use a 1/4-cup measuring cup to transfer the cookie dough onto an ungreased baking sheet (you’ll be able to fit about 6 on a sheet). Wet the bottom of a wide glass and press it onto each cookie to flatten it (alternatively, you can flour the bottom of the glass). Bake for 13 to 15 minutes or until lightly brown. Transfer the cookies to a cooling rack and let cool.
Makes approximately 22 cookies.
