Readers Theatre - Creating Equivalent Fractions

Hello!

This is a 2 page Readers Theatre that includes 15 roles. Join Marvelous Matt in today's mini math lesson - creating equivalent fractions. This Readers Theatre goes through the process of creating equivalent fractions by finding the least common denominator. Students are taught how to make a multiples list for both denominators until finding the smallest one.

I use this in my 5th grade class and my students absolutely love it! It is fairly short, so presenting this multiple times is not an issue. You can even go through it twice, switching roles (so everyone gets a turn).

When you come across a line that says [gesture], the students are to come up with a gesture that matches what is being said (shrug, thumbs up, facial expressions, etc). When you come across a line that says [sound effect], the students are to come up with a sound effect that matches what is being said (wind howling, kids jumping, ding-ding-ding!). The students get to be creative and personalize this Readers Theatre, while also learning!

Please let me know if you have any questions!!
