Fourth grade learners are learning how to decompose fractions. We are learning about improper fractions and mixed numbers and how to show these on tape diagrams and number lines. Learners are learning how to manipulate fractions and break them apart to show their understanding of what fractions represent.
Pictures, models, number lines and tape diagrams are the best ways to show student understanding of fractions. They especially help to show improper and mixed number fractions.
