Description

Get kids excited about science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics (STEAM) with this fun hands-on collaborative project. Typically done during a Family Math Night event, this project can also be done in the classroom. The best part is, each person is individually represented in the final product!

Participants will create a honeycomb cell that will be added to the collaborative honeycomb. They will learn about tessellations and beginning concepts in fractions.

Included in the lesson plan:

• list of materials needed

• mathematical background

• mathematical vocabulary

• table tent with step-by-step directions

• thirds strips

• classroom engineering challenge

• link to the video version of the lesson

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).

CCSS3.NF.A.1

Understand a fraction 1/𝘣 as the quantity formed by 1 part when a whole is partitioned into 𝘣 equal parts; understand a fraction 𝘢/𝑏 as the quantity formed by 𝘢 parts of size 1/𝘣.

CCSS3.NF.A.3a

Understand two fractions as equivalent (equal) if they are the same size, or the same point on a number line.

CCSS3.NF.A.3b

Recognize and generate simple equivalent fractions, (e.g., 1/2 = 2/4, 4/6 = 2/3). Explain why the fractions are equivalent, e.g., by using a visual fraction model.

CCSS3.NF.A.3c

Express whole numbers as fractions, and recognize fractions that are equivalent to whole numbers. Examples: Express 3 in the form 3 = 3/1; recognize that 6/1 = 6; locate 4/4 and 1 at the same point of a number line diagram.

CCSS4.NF.A.1

Explain why a fraction 𝘢/𝘣 is equivalent to a fraction (𝘯 × 𝘢)/(𝘯 × 𝘣) by using visual fraction models, with attention to how the number and size of the parts differ even though the two fractions themselves are the same size. Use this principle to recognize and generate equivalent fractions.
