In Sushi Fractions, learners must use their fraction "drawing" skills to make sushi to their customers' specifications. The object is to ensure all eight customers leave as happy customers! Easier said than done. Some customers are every demanding about the accuracy of their orders; others are more flexible. Users must use the line tool to create the fractions from the sushi. The system will compare drawings with the correct fraction divisions and will return an accuracy score.

Have you read the book, One Grain Of Rice

It is such a great book to teach math concepts of doubling, place values, & multiplying. It also has great moral lessons that go along with the story. Some lessons I saw used it to teach scarcity, or about the culture of India. We read it this week and I wanted to find some fun activities to go along with it. Here are some of the resources I found:

Tarleton has a lesson plan outline with some fun ideas to use in teaching about the book.
Rice Romp has some fun ideas as well. They have a lesson teaching place values.
I liked this concept of doubling pennies @ Math forum

I created a fun printable to use along with the book. Click here to Download NOW!

We used rice to double our amounts through the first 7 days. That was a large enough amount for us to count!

Then for the remaining numbers we added on paper and pulled out our place value flip book and figured out the numbers on there. It was such a fun activity.

We also made a rainbow rice box this week. I have seen this tutorial circling the web. I am so glad we tried it. My kids LOVE it. I was surprised how much time they spent playing in it. It goes along perfectly with this book. I wonder how many grains of rice are in our box.....

How to Make Rainbow Rice:

Rice- I used a 5 lb bag and divided it into 6 colors- about 2 1/2 c. for each color of rice.
Food Coloring
Rubbing Alcohol

Mix a few drops of food coloring into 2-3 Tbsp of rubbing alcohol. Put the rice into bowls and pour color mixture into the rice. Mix until evenly coated with color. Pour rice onto cookie sheets to dry. It was a cold & cloudy day, so we didn't have any sunlight to speed up the process. It took ours a few hours to dry. (It is really stinky until the alcohol smell wears off! Beware!)

Once it dries out, pour into a plastic tub with some toys. It will provide endless hours of entertainment!
