Tips for Parents & Teachers
When encountering unfamiliar denominators like sixths, draw the fraction on separate paper together first. Pre-teaching prevents frustration.
Ask "Is this more or less than one-half?" for every problem. This simple question builds the benchmarking skill that makes comparison intuitive.
Time the worksheet and try again next week. Watching their own speed improve is incredibly motivating and builds needed automaticity.
