Writing Fractions in Words: what children learn
This joins two skills: reading a fraction from a picture and writing it in words. The total number of equal parts names the kind of part (thirds, fourths, sixths), and the shaded count tells how many.
Writing Fractions in Words: worked example
A circle is split into 3 equal parts. 2 of the parts are shaded. two thirds
There are 3 equal parts, so they are thirds. 2 of them are shaded, so the fraction is two thirds.
Writing Fractions in Words: a common mistake to watch for
Kids sometimes name only the shaded count ("two") and forget to say what size the parts are.
Writing Fractions in Words: how to help at home or in class
Draw a pizza or a chocolate bar together, cut it into equal pieces, and color or eat a few. Ask your child to describe what was taken in a full sentence that includes both the count and the name of the piece size. Swap roles and make a deliberate slip for them to catch. When they can describe any shaded picture aloud without prompting, they are ready to write the same amounts with numerals.
