Cath Bone's Registered Teacher Criteria: Teaching Fractions

Teaching Fractions

Our team is currently beginning a study on fractions. At our team meeting today I shared some relevant information that I had gained from the Te Toi Tupu Fractional Thinking workshops last term. I talked about

the MOE Book 7 : Teaching Fractions, Decimals and Percentages p2-3 key ideas
IAE Educational Practices Series-22 Teaching Fractions -relevant points

See Team 1 Meeting Minutes

As a result of attending these course I have changed how I started off my fraction unit. I have started off by introducing fair shares rather than looking at half of a region and then half of a set.
