SCALE Fractions

Interested in how Year 1 of our project went? We can't wait to share with you! Keep an eye out for updates coming very soon! If you like what you see, we would love to set up a time to chat with you about getting you involved in the 2024-2025 school year. #learning #results

The Fraction Face-Off! intervention is aimed at helping better prepare students for high school algebra– the “make-or-break” prerequisite for higher math studies. We are thrilled to be working with educators as they learn and implement this intervention! #FFO #PD #teacherlearning

Happy Monday! Were you able to determine which fraction is greater? That's right! It was a trick question–they are equal! #fractions #equalfractions

Happy Fraction Friday! Which fraction is greater? How do you know? We will be back on Monday to share our answer and strategy! #fractions #scalability #intervention

“Many students experience difficulty with fractions in elementary school and continue to have difficulty through middle school...this difficulty becomes increasingly problematic because proficiency in fractions is highly related to algebraic readiness.” -@KetterlinGeller @RME_SMU

Welcome back! Here is our 0-1 number line. We determined the fraction equivalent to one-half and used that to place 1/6 on the number line. #fraction #numberline

Happy Fraction Friday! Where should this fraction go on a 0-1 number line? Draw your own answer and share with us! We will share our answer and strategy on Monday. #fraction #numberline

Pre-measure data collection is underway across all three of our sites @SMU @UTAustin @Mizzou! We are enjoying getting to know our participating educators and students. #fractionintervention #datacollection #ProjectSCALE

We hope you are having a great Monday! Here is our 7/8 fraction pumpkin pie. What does yours look like? What was your strategy? We hope you have a wonderful week! #fractions #FFO #pumpkinpie

Happy Fraction Friday! We will be taking a break next week for Thanksgiving week, so let's talk PUMPKIN PIE! How would you draw a pumpkin pie that has 7/8 slices left? Reply with a picture of your pumpkin pie, and we will share ours on Monday! #fractions #FFO #pumpkinpie

Participating in a project funded by the US Department of Ed may sound intimidating, but here is what we really do: provide 4th grade math teachers with training and materials to implement the Fraction Face-Off! intervention AND pay them to do it. Let us support you! Contact us!

Have you explored your district's scores on the @Commit2Dallas Campus Level Hope Chart? No matter the scores, we want to help raise the %meets on your campus by providing a FREE 4th grade fraction intervention to your teachers. And yes, we will pay you! commitpartnership.org/dashboard/visu…

Happy Monday! We were able to determine that 2/6 is LESS THAN 1/2! What did you determine? #fractions #FFO #projectSCALE #scalability

Happy Fraction Friday! Can you tell us if 2/6 is bigger than 1/2? #fractions #FFO #projectSCALE #scalability

Our project will span over five years and take place in multiple sites across the country. See our year-by-year breakdown on our website and learn more about the work we are doing! #ProjectSCALE #scalability #fractions #USDepartmentofEducation #grant smu.edu/Simmons/Resear…
