Description
The Fraction Curriculum is part of the Montessori math curriculum. It consists of a sequence of activities and problems that utilize and expand the existing Montessori Fraction Skittles, Fraction Insets, and Plastic Fraction Circles. The important fraction concepts of “fractions/not fraction,” “parts of a group”, and “linear equivalency” (which are listed as state standards) are covered. The role of denominator and numerator is introduced through the analogy of a “family” and “member of the family.”
Concepts of denominator and numerator are introduced separately.
