Are you looking for a hands-on activity to help students apply fractions of a distance in a meaningful context?
In this cut and paste activity, students read the story of Vera's walk to the park and place each event at the correct fraction of the distance along a road model — using eighths, quarters, and halves to work out where each moment belongs. Two versions are included: a cut and paste worksheet where students place picture cards onto the pre-marked road, and an open-ended drawing version where students mark the eighth notches themselves and draw symbols to match each event in the story.
What's included:
Cut and paste worksheet — eighths pre-marked on the road; students cut and paste picture cards at the correct fraction of the distance
Open-ended drawing worksheet — students mark notches to divide the road into eighths, then draw symbols to match each event in the story
Answer key included for easy checking
