Fractions in Words: what children learn
A fraction like 3/4 is read aloud as "three fourths". Connecting the written symbol to the spoken words helps children read and write fractions with halves, thirds, fourths, sixths, and eighths.
Fractions in Words: worked example
3/4 = three fourths
The top number is 3, so say "three". The bottom number 4 becomes "fourths". Together it is three fourths.
Fractions in Words: a common mistake to watch for
Kids sometimes forget the "s" for more than one part, writing "three fourth" instead of "three fourths".
Fractions in Words: how to help at home or in class
Make flash cards: write fractions such as 1/2, 2/3, 5/6 and 7/8 on one side and leave the other side blank. Your child reads each card aloud, flips it, and you write the spoken words together. Then reverse it by saying a fraction aloud so they write the symbol. Listen closely to the ending of the last word, because it tells the size of the pieces. Once they read and write all five denominators smoothly, move on to shaded pictures.
