Fractions: Halves and Quarters — page 1 of 1

What’s inside

Students partition shapes and sets first, then name the fractions they have made, then place them on a number line. Naming before the number line matters — it gives the notation something concrete to attach to.

The final pages compare simple fractions with the same denominator, the first step toward reasoning about size rather than memorizing rules.

How to use it

The partitioning pages stand alone well as a single lesson. The number line pages work better as a set, since each one assumes the last.
