Probable Passage in Math

As an introduction to our fractions unit, we did a Probable Passage activity. Students worked with their table mates to use the words given in the word bank to help determine what the book is about. They sorted the words into boxes labeled characters, setting, problem, solution, and unknown words. From that, they made a "gist statement" of what they thought the book would be about. After they filled in their charts and shared with the class, we revealed that it was a book called Fraction Action.
