It’s a delightful way to deepen their comprehension of fractions while savoring the joy of making delicious comparisons.
Unit Fraction Activities
Unit fractions are fractions where the numerator is 1, and the denominator is a positive integer. Engaging in activities related to unit fractions can help students develop a solid understanding of fractions and their relationships. Here are some activities that can be helpful:
