Text Set Ideas

Thinking about possibilities for my text set, I knew from the get go that I wanted to do my text set on a standard that has to do with fractions. In our two math classes this semester, fractions have been our huge focus so it only seemed right. I tentatively am picking MGSE6.NS.1 as my GSE to focus my text set on (Interpret and compute quotients of fractions, and solve word problems involving division of fractions by fractions, including reasoning strategies such as using visual fraction models and equations to represent the problem). I definitely want some content on the history of fractions and how they came about. I think it would be really cool to have a video of some sort showing kids the usefulness of being able to divide fractions and how that can be important in their day-to-day lives. There are a lot of word problem examples that show how fractions can be used but I think a lot of times if kids don’t see it visually it can go over their head. One other idea I had was to find some type of song relating to fractions that is explanatory and easy to remember.
