Mr. R has had a fair bit of exposure to fractions, mainly through cooking together. So I thought that we might be ready for a bit more.
Halves -- How many pieces? Two. How many halves in one whole? Two!
Quarters- How many pieces? How many quarters in one whole? 4. How many quarters in one half? 2
Miss. S waiting to get her hands on some dough.
As Mr. R was cutting I wrote on the whiteboard. Showing him what a half looked like in writing. Lightly discussing how the "2" under the line for half represented how many "pieces", and the "4" for "quarters".
Then the boring stuff! Workbooks! But then workbooks aren't so boring when you know what you're doing!
