Teacher Implementation Guide Fraction Foundations
Click here to view the collection
Fraction Foundations allows students to practice and build fraction skills in a low-pressure environment. Join Cosmo in his kitchen as he adds, subtracts, orders, compares fractions, and more to help his tasty recipes come together! In each lesson, students use Seesaw's multimodal tools to dive into each fraction’s standards with engaging practice activities. Student work samples provide teachers with focused insights to assess fluency across the different fraction skills.
Best Practices
Multiple Representations: Teaching with varied formats—visual, symbolic, verbal, manipulatives—is proven to deepen students’ understanding and ability to transfer knowledge.
Low-Stakes, Repeated Practice: Frequent, lightly pressured exposure to fraction concepts strengthens fluency and conceptual grasp over time.
Real World Contexts: Embedding fraction problems within familiar settings, such as cooking, helps students construct meaning and engage more deeply.
Fraction Magnitude Sense: Understanding the size, order, and equivalence of fractions is foundational, and strong fraction magnitude sense predicts later algebra success.
