2nd Grade Fractions Flipbook
Second graders in Ms. Salmon’s class at Holladay Elementary made cool fractions flipbooks today using a website called Youblisher. First partners went around the school looking for real life examples of fractions. Most of them found lots of fractions in the artwork hanging on the walls. They photographed their examples using a digital camera. Then Ms. Salmon loaded the pictures into the students’ folders. I showed them how to edit the photos using Preview (you can trim a picture by dragging a square over the part you want then pushing Apple+K, and you can adjust the color and size by clicking Tools in the menu). After editing their photos they dragged them into a Pages document and typed a few sentences about their fraction. You can download the template (with a background color) by clicking here. I combined them into one document, printed them as a PDF, and uploaded them to the website. Youblisher did the rest! You can see the final product by clicking here.
