Teacher Resources
Teaching Notes

Introduce fractions as parts of a whole group. Emphasize counting the shaded parts for the numerator and all parts for the denominator.

Vocabulary
Fraction: Part of a whole or set.
Numerator: Top number; counts the parts.
Denominator: Bottom number; total equal parts.
Common Mistakes
  • Confusing numerator and denominator.
  • Not counting all items in the set for the denominator.
  • Misidentifying the 'part' or 'whole' within the set.
Differentiation
SupportUse concrete manipulatives. Start with smaller sets (2-4 items).
ChallengeCreate sets. Identify multiple fractions within one set.
Discussion Questions
  • What does the top number in a fraction tell us?
  • What does the bottom number in a fraction mean?
  • How are fractions of a set different from fractions of a single shape?
  • Can we show 3/5 using a group of stars?
Extension Activities
  • Draw sets and shade parts.
  • Identify fractions in recipes.
  • Use fraction tiles.
Parent Tip

Ask your child to name fractions of objects around the house.
