How to help with this skill

Third graders begin to use multiplication, division, fractions and measurement regularly. Discuss which operation fits the question.

  • Find the denominator: it tells how many equal parts form a whole.
  • Find the numerator: it tells how many parts are counted.
  • For addition, use a common denominator before combining numerators.

Try this: Draw fraction strips or fold paper to make equal parts.
