- Use representations of sets of objects to divide them into equal parts.
- Count how many objects are in the number of parts needed.
- The whole has been divided into __ equal parts and you have __ of them.
Common misconception
Children may think that fractions that look different cannot represent the same part of a whole. They may also still think that a bigger denominator means a bigger fraction.
Give plenty of opportunity to use manipulatives and representations to show sets and groups of objects divided in different ways so that they see practically that the same part of a whole can be described and represented by different fractions.
