1st grade does fractions and art to make a picture

The first grade spent this week creating art from Ed Emberley's Picture pie: a cut and paste drawing book while reviewing their fractions. We did 6-8 of the figures from the book using 1/2, 1/4, and 1/8 circles in a variety of colors. The class then could create their own picture from one of the examples or using their imaginations. What a great result we got. Several took a look at other pages and found pictures we had not made. Some needed to cut the pie pieces into smaller slivers to achieve thier picture. We are glad the Wells Branch Library has great books for us to use in class.
