Try paper folding (strips) to help with fractions on a number line. The paper itself becomes the number line #3rdchat

how about a multi-class fraction kahoot? @FirstAtBat always more fun to compete with others #3rdchat

In reply to @mleonard03, @FirstAtBat

Kidsmathtalk Jan 25 @ 9:47 PM EST

A6: Skip counting fractions like 1/4, 2/4,3/4,4/4,5/4 builds knowledge that fractions are iterative and are numbers! #3rdchat

MrsPug1 - Moderator Jan 25 @ 9:47 PM EST

I was thinking the same!! We always did designing a house or carnival. Could def add Fractions into it! 👍 #3rdchat

In reply to @kimmykcollins

A6: Challenge them to prove it. Many times they realize it on their own/with other similar Ss #3rdchat

kimmykcollins Jan 25 @ 9:48 PM EST

MrWawczak Jan 25 @ 9:52 PM EST

A6: Slow down and reflect. They think they 'know' the numerator must be smaller or that the larger denominator means greater #3rdchat
