Model Proper Fractions Flexibly 2-56
Generalize about equal parts by modeling fractions in different ways. What does 2 thirds mean? 2 out of 3 equal parts - any 2. The go-to way to show proper fractions using a bar model is left-to-right, with no gaps - a length model. Encourage flexibility by modeling them right-to-left, and with gaps - an area model.
