Everybody Needs Options: Visualizing Fractions
Want to really see what a fraction looks like? Draw a picture. There will be no doubt about the relative size of fractions. This model, the third and last in a series by Eureka Math Lead Mathematician Scott Baldridge, connects abstract numbers to easy-to-remember visual images. You can find a summary of all three tools-including tape diagrams and number bonds-on our website. These models give students alternative ways to think about mathematical concepts and provide options for solving problems. That's good news and the essence of great teaching.
