So 12/6 is equal to or equivalent to the whole number two I really like the way DC decomposed those fractions so that we can easily see how they are equivalent to whole numbers. Let's try another one.

And after that, we're gonna move on to learning about fractions and whole numbers. But before we begin, let's warm up our brains with a Mystery Math Mistake. Uh-oh, ...

Even if students get the basic concepts right—that fractions don’t behave the same way that whole numbers do—the rules of how to operate on fractions can stump learners.

Speaker 1: To get a fraction we need to divide a whole number into parts. In this case I've divided by four to create quarters. Speaker 1: Dividing it into equal parts allows me to create a ...

Fractions Fractions and whole numbers. Calculations can be carried out using fractions of shapes and quantities. Mixed fractions can be added or subtracted to find the number of fractional parts ...

Putting fractions on a number line early can also help solidify students’ understanding that fractions can and should be compared to whole numbers, experts say.
