3. Linear models of fractions (halves and quarters) (levels 2,3 and 4)
3m 18s
Peter Sullivan introduces methods for teaching fractions by conceptualizing them as equal parts of a whole, results of division, and points on a number line. He discusses using fraction walls and linear models, focusing on halves and quarters for early education. Engaging students through various representations and connecting visual models to symbolic equations is emphasized, along with measuring lengths to enhance understanding and the importance of flexible teaching approaches.
