MTS Math 12.4 Learning To Write Fractions

MATH DEVELOPMENT ALBUM

1. Start with 'We all have our family names, don't we? My family name is Jones and your family name is Smith."

2. Name a few other children's family name.

3. "Fraction also has a family name. This family's name is half, this family's -name is third."

4. "I'll show you how to write its family name." and draw a line and write 2 and place it underneath the half.

5. "Where is the family of half?" "Where is the family of third?"

(*Another day, the child can take 6-th through 10-th and write their family names down.)

(In another day...)

1. Start with "How many members do you have?" And discuss about his/her family.

2. "Fractions have members also. Let's see how many members the halves have."

3. 'There are two. O.K. Two halves."

4. "There are three in the third family. Three thirds."

5. "There are four in the fourth family. Four fourths." So on.

6. And then write them up.

1. Write the family name I/2 and take out one half and ask "How many members are there left? One. O.K. Write down 1."

2. Continue in this manner.

1. Child can take out the insets and do the art work on his own with the fractions.
