Ep 189: The Operator Meaning of Fractions
Manage episode 398301400 series 2858349
Finding a fraction of something can be a tricky concept. In this episode Pam and Kim run through two strings that help reason about using fractions as operators.
Talking Points:
- How are unit fractions related like halves, fourth and eighths?
- Scaling and Over Strategy with unit fractions
- Fractions as operators
- Why is scaling a unit fractions critical? Knowing that three fourths is the same as three 1/4s?
- Knowing non-unit fractions from fractions is a precursor.
- Thinking of fractions only as part-whole is not sufficient.
- A different problem string using the operator meaning of fractions.
