Culturally Responsive Teaching Tip

Tap the beat of fractions using music from different cultures. The Bomba, a traditional dance rhythm from Puerto Rico, uses 5-beat cycles perfect for practicing fractions like 1/5 or 4/5.

Did you know? Using precise math language can help support students’ understanding of fractions.

For example, say “numerator” and “denominator” instead of “top number” and “bottom number.” See Hughes et al. (2016) for more examples.
