Title - Conversation Heart Fractions
By - Pam Moore
Primary Subject - Math
Grade Level - 3rd

MATERIALS NEEDED:
Give each child a bag of 20 conversational hearts.

Have the children sort the candies into like color piles. Then have each child record the correct fraction that matches each pile. For example: If a child has 5 pinks, she would record 5/20. Then continue recording the fractions until all the colors are recorded. The children may then compare their findings with a neighbor to compare the fractions. Then show them how to add the fractions all together. Talk about common denominators. Then show how to combine 2 colors. For example: add the pinks and the yellows and write the new fraction. After the children have had practice adding the fractions they may enjoy their tasty treat.
