Introducing… Fraction Man
With the 4 colors of paper fold on the lines, cut, and punch holes, as shown below. • As you fold notice the fractional parts. Punch holes on sides Punch holes on bottom Punch holes on top & bottom
Use brass fasteners to put the body parts together. Label the fractional body parts. Finish your Fraction Man with the following shapes made from die cuts: Large CIRCLE head Small CIRCLE eyes RHOMBUS nose TRAPEZOID mouth TRIANGLE hat PARALLELOGRAM hat band OVAL buttons
The matching colors of his limbs add up to his body, which represents 1 whole. What fractional part does each color represent? ORANGE ? YELLOW ? BROWN ?
Introducing… Gallon Man
Capacity… Investigate the Equivalences (gallon, quart, pint, cup) = = = 1 gallon = 4 quarts = 8 pints = 16 cups
Use brass fasteners to put the body parts together. Label the measurements represented by the body parts. Finish your Gallon Man with the following shapes made from die cuts: Large CIRCLE head Small CIRCLE eyes RHOMBUS nose TRAPEZOID mouth TRIANGLE hat PARALLELOGRAM hat band OVAL buttons
The matching colors of GALLON MAN’s limbs add up to his body, which represents a gallon. What quantity does each color represent? ORANGE ? YELLOW ? BROWN ?
Introducing… Geometry Man
Name the shapes… Body, Legs, & Arms: Head & Eyes: Mouth: Nose: Buttons: Hat: Hat Band: Rectangle Circle Trapezoid Rhombus Oval Triangle (Isosceles Triangle) Parallelogram
