Have a class discussion about fractions in everyday life. Ask students where they can find fractions? (cooking, measuring, etc.). For homework, have them watch a favorite television show. Have them keep a record of how much of the 1/2 hour - long show was actually the program, how much was commercial advertising, and how much was other. Have the students make a chart (see attached). The next day, students can answer: How much time was used for commercials? What fraction of the whole show was that amount? Have students compare findings. Make a chart, compare prime - time shows with morning or afternoon programs. Have students answer: If commercials appear that same fraction of an entire day, how long is commercial time in 24 hours? What percent would commercials be of an entire day?

** Students can also keep charts of their days - what fraction of the school day is spent on math, science, etc.? What fraction of the day is spent sleeping, playing? Students could use their findings to create a more efficient daily schedule.
