- then into eighths
2) Using scissors cut a design into the fold
20-25 min
3) Unfold paper slowly emphasizing the fraction associated
with each fold
4) Show class fraction snowflake
Leaving plenty of time for questions and revision throughout
Creation 1) Explain to class they are going to repeat this process
2) Distribute materials
15 min
3) Circulate and Supervise

Conclusion Time
Have all students hold up their completed snowflake and review the fold associated
with each fraction 5 min
CLEAN UP ALL THE PAPER OFF THE FLOOR
