In math, the whole means the entire
thing.
My mom baked a whole
cake for my birthday! She
didn’t just bake part of it,
she baked the entire cake!
Fractions Word Wall
A fraction is an equal piece of the whole.
Since there were many people
at my party, we had to cut
the cake to be sure that
everyone could eat a
fraction of the whole
cake.

Action Fraction

Everybody's doin' the Action Fraction!
Gettin' mathematical satisfaction!
Dancin' a radical new sensation!
Sweepin' it's way across the nation!
Reach up high as you can go.
Bend down low and touch your toes.
Lift your hands half way up,
And mark the middle with a clap, clap, clap.
Reach up high as you can go.
Bend down low and touch your toes.
Lift your hands one fourth the way.
Snap your fingers, step and sway.
Reach up high as you can go.
Bend down low and touch your toes.
Lift your hands three fourths the way,
Jiggle and shake 'em any old way.
Turn one third and wave your hand.
Turn another third and wave once more.
Turn another third and you're right back home
Ready to what you did before.
Everybody's doin' the Action Fraction!
Gettin' mathematical satisfaction!
Dancin' a radical new sensation!
Sweepin' it's way across the nation!
