about fraction operations. Your project should include all of the following:
Adding fractions and mixed numbers

Multiplying fractions and mixed numbers
Dividing fractions and mixed numbers
Message/Concept: Your poster will be displayed in a math classroom. Its intention is to help math
students gain a better understanding of a topic or concept. Your poster should be available to help
students understand the topic discussed. The poster could be considered a resource to any 6 th
grade student! ALL information must be 100% accurate. Double check your math!
Presentation: Must be done on a poster board provided by Mr. C. Try to make your poster unified
(easy to follow) and balanced. Try to create a clever, creative illustration. Use any type of medium,
supplies, textures you like. Names MUST be written on the back of the poster.
Neatness: Your project should be attractive, neat, easy to read/follow and colorful. Make the
viewer want to stop and read your poster.
Assessment: Posters will be hung and assessed by the teacher and other students, using the same
rubric sheet. A final grade will be determined by the teacher.
Pointers about Posters

The purpose of any poster is to announce something or sell something.

The poster tells readers what they have to gain by following the posters advice or suggestions, or at
least offers important information.
Every poster attempts to gain and hold attention.
Posters should be amusing or eye-catching.
Posters can use dramatic situations, slogans, a play on words, rhymes, or popular sayings.
SIMPLICITY the best posters are simple and easy to read. Too many colors, pictures or fancy
lettering will detract from the posters message.
Everything in a poster should work toward its purpose.
No part of a poster should overpower another.
Workmanship this is the overall quality of the poster, including lettering, coloring, pictures, and
message. Quality workmanship results in outstanding posters!
