Fractions
This week student’s will be introduced
to fractions.
Stress these concepts at home…
 Fractions can only be made when
the shape is divided EQUALLY
(each part is the same size)
 Review these words
o Half (two parts)
o Thirds (three parts)
o Fourths (four parts)
We want our students to use precise
language so help them make these
connections with real-world
experiences….
