How to choose a good fraction project
- Pick something you like. If you like cooking, choose a recipe project. If you like art, pick a model or poster.
- Keep the math clear. The project should show at least one fraction idea: addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, comparison, converting, or real-life application.
- Use simple materials. Paper, rulers, cardboard, colored pencils, beads, or food items work well.
- Plan the steps. Write a small method so others can repeat the experiment.
- Show what you learned. Add a few lines about results and what the fractions mean.
