Tips for Parents & Teachers
Use food to teach fractions naturally: cutting a sandwich in half, sharing a pizza into 4 equal slices.
Emphasize "equal" — break a cracker into two uneven pieces and ask "is this really half?" to build the concept.
Use the language of fractions in daily life: "You have eaten half your lunch" or "a quarter of the pie is left."
Connect fractions to fairness: "If we share 8 grapes equally between 2 people, how many does each person get?" makes fractions feel relevant.
