Teacher keeps one. Ask students to count how many candies make up their roll. Teacher counts own and writes on the board. So I'll write the 4 over the total number of candies in my roll. So four fourteenths of my roll of candy is yellow.
Students count, then express that number in numbers and in words on paper.
Partners double-check each others' work. Continue until all colors are accounted for. Demonstrate with Teacher's roll of candy. Show how adding the numerators will bring about a number equal to the denominator. In this case, it is one whole roll of Smartees .
