Instructional Tips
Teachers can:
• provide students with opportunities to consolidate their earlier learning about fractions in a wide variety of contexts, including by making connections to other strands;
• highlight the different meanings of fractions: part-whole relationships, part-part relationships, quotients, and operators;
• support students in developing their fractional thinking across all strands, such as applying an understanding of fractions to express the slope of a line;
• highlight the utility of unit fractions by incorporating purposeful questioning in their work with students;
• support students in making comparisons between unit fractions and unit rates.
