In this unit, children will build upon their real-world experiences of "fair shares" to recognize a fraction as an expression that relates a part and a whole.
It is important for students to understand that there is a relationship between fractions and division.
Students should understand the names of different fractions and practice proper spelling (example - three fourths).
We use fractions every day in many situations. Encourage your child to recognize the use of fractions in daily life; for example, when filling a glass half full, measuring ingredients for a recipe, or sharing cookies or pizza.
