 
| Third grade students visited Mr. Bulaevsky's website - Integer Bars - and had fun showing the fraction 1/2 with the colored bars.  The smaller numbers were a snap.  1 is half of 2. 3 is half of 6.  4 is half of 8.  Half of 18 was a challenge until the students made an estimate and then moved their bars into place.  When they made a mistake they moved the bars to the recycle bin and tried again.
