What kids do
“Count the equal jumps from 0 to 1. Write the fraction at the arrow.”
Teacher tip
Fold a paper strip to match each line first. It shows why the jumps are equal.
How to use it
- Ask kids to say each fraction out loud as “3 out of 4 equal parts.”
- Shade lightly with colored pencil so mistakes are easy to fix.
- Do the first problem together under a document camera, then let kids finish on their own.
Watch for
Adding the denominators (1/4 + 1/4 = 2/8). Draw it to show the pieces stay fourths.
Talk about it
- Where do you use fractions at home, like in a recipe or a pizza?
- Which problem was the hardest? What made it hard?
