Explaining Fractions to Children

What is a fraction? Fractions involve calculating with fractions, which mathematically represent parts of a whole (e.g., a number). With these parts, the four basic arithmetic operations addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division can be applied. Fractions can initially appear complex and abstract to children in elementary school, as they have so far only encountered whole numbers.

In mathematics, tasks with a high everyday relevance are particularly suitable for introducing the topic of fraction calculation. The pizza example is perfect for explaining fractions. A whole pizza is divided into different parts, and every child knows how to do that. The principle of calculating with fractions can thus be illustrated in a child-friendly way. Tasks revolving around sharing are also suitable for explaining fraction calculation. This also clarifies the principle of numerator and denominator. Just as there are addition and subtraction tasks with apples or candies, tools such as cakes or pizzas are suitable for fraction calculation exercises in elementary school. Also, when calculating with time, fraction calculation can be practiced, for example, by adding 3/4 hour to 1/2 hour.

For teaching fraction calculation in mathematics classes, teachers can find a wide range of teaching materials with us. For practice and consolidation, our fraction calculation domino is ideal because calculating with fractions becomes even more fun. Fraction calculation circles are also suitable for representing fractions in elementary school. These are conveniently available as a class set. Group tasks for the entire class can be implemented perfectly with these. This makes fraction calculation tasks a special experience for the students. In addition to our teaching materials for fraction calculation, there are also other mathematics teaching materials available, such as our times tables games.

Calculating with Fractions

During exercises related to fraction calculation, children also learn to expand and reduce fractions well. When students divide and multiply fractions, they quickly realize that an additional step is required. When reducing, children learn to divide numerators and denominators by the same number. This is a nice extension of division. The students learn that they can transfer their basic knowledge. Success experiences with fraction calculation are therefore guaranteed!

The same principle applies to expanding. Here, numerators and denominators are multiplied by a whole number. When students master this skill, they can play fraction calculation domino together. By doing fraction calculation together in elementary school, they deepen their exercises playfully and gain joy in (higher) mathematics!

If kids learn fraction calculation already in elementary school, it also facilitates their transition to secondary school. This way, they have success experiences right from the start and benefit sustainably from their learning success. Therefore, it makes sense to learn not only the decimal system but also fraction calculation with tasks, exercises, and various teaching materials already in elementary school. Fraction calculation exercises can easily be integrated into elementary school mathematics classes, for example, when quantities like liters are discussed. For example, children should complement three-quarters of a liter to two liters or similar. You see: The topic of fraction calculation can definitely be addressed in the 4th grade. With our various teaching and exercise materials, you are perfectly prepared for this.

Our demo fraction calculation circles "Pizza" are great fun for the kids. Teachers can literally let the kids share the pizza, as well as add and subtract pieces. This makes calculating with fractions fun for the whole class!

With the class sets of fraction calculation strips and circles, every student can practice and experiment with fraction calculation. The topic can also be made and deepened in group work or experiments.
