Customize for your classroom
Teacher Guide & Tips
- Introduce the glossary at the start of a fraction lesson, reading the five terms aloud and having students point to each one in both English and Spanish.
- Discussion question: In the fraction 3/4, what does the numerator tell us, and what does the denominator tell us?
- Scaffold for struggling readers: pair them with a partner, and have them match each term to its meaning before attempting any practice problems.
- Extension for advanced students: ask them to write their own example fraction for each glossary term and explain how multiplying or dividing would change it.
- Estimated time: about 15 minutes to review the glossary, plus the remainder of a 45-minute block for the practice problems.
