@EsparzaJk @KISDMathSquad Q5 #fractiontalk Modeling and using stories to go along with fractions can help. Thanks ladies!

[April Guy @AprilleighGuy]

@EsparzaJk #fractiontalk I know this is so helpful with the littles. They have to understand the parts first and modeling is key.

[April Guy @AprilleighGuy]

@EsparzaJk Sometimes students are able to apply it to real life situations and make a visual. #fractiontalk

[April Guy @AprilleighGuy]

@EsparzaJk #fractiontalk It would help them identify fractions as numbers as well.

[April Guy @AprilleighGuy]

Children all learn differently and we must give them an opportunity to solve how they understand it. #MathattheHelm
