#5 QR codes and bottle cap fractions

I must admit I did not think of this, I got it from the Green Classroom, but it's a fabulous activity. It involves using QR codes and labeling bottle caps - to help students practice ordering fractions. Let's start with ordering fractions: Make 8 bottle cap groups with six fractions in each group using Avery lables (1" circles 5410). And then, lo and behold, did you know you can make QR codes in Avery? On the left-hand tool bar, there is a button for making bar codes and QR codes. So, make QR codes for the inside of the bottle caps. Once students put the fraction bottle caps in order from least to greates, the QR codes inside the bottle caps should reveal the numbers 1-6 in order.
