Teaching fractions can be challenging and tedious for students. I try to make the process more interesting and engaging using the blackbelt fraction system that I created. \r\n As students progress in their learning of fractions they achieve higher and higher belts. The wrist bands are given instead of the traditional belts in karate. Students proudly wear their wrist bands as they continue to level up. Some have found that the bands fit nicely around their water bottles and instead display them there. Either way, students can be proud of their achievements and have more motivation to achieve higher levels.","fullyFundedDate":1777383627428,"projectUrl":"project/blackbelt-fractions-supplies/10214643/","projectTitle":"Blackbelt Fractions Supplies","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Welton","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp796952_orig.jpg?crop=507,507,x490,y157&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1620756302458","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/796952"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_20948","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1087,"numTeachers":76,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":21,"percentBlack":14,"percentWhite":44,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":11,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":0,"gradesServed":"5 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"14.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":79.7,"schoolId":20948,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about PS 195 City Honors School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"PS 195 City Honors School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/buffalo-public-schools/ps-195-city-honors-school/20948"}
