I am so committed to making fractions easier for our students, starting from the very beginning. Parents can have such a huge effect with the every-day use of fractions in cooking, money, even, as you say, sorting toys or whatever. I want to take all the drama out of fractions. Second, we have SO MANY fraction circles at school. Hmmmm. Kids do tend to draw circles, and that’s not always helpful. Third, I love the idea of one one-twelfth, two one-twelfths.
