As a special ed teacher I often have to find new ways to show concepts that the students don’t understand. I recently realized that some of my middle schoolers did not really understand what basic fractions mean. I liked relating fraction units to counting block units. This may help them understand what two one sixths means and that it is not larger than 1/2 or 3 one sixths.
