Fractions on the River Trail - Making Posters

Here are a few photos from class today. In this lesson from 5th grade Bridges Second Edition, students had to locate places on the "river trail," based on fractions in a 30 kilometer stretch. They initially identified fairly easy markings on the trail (1/2, 1/3, etc.) and then used those increments to figure out more challenging fractions (1/12, 1/15, etc.) of the distance, expressing final answers both in fractions and in kilometers. Phenomenal work, all!
