Fractions

In math we are comparing, ordering, and drawing fractions. There seems to be some confusion as to what fractions represent. For example, 1/3 of a pie. The one is how much of something and the three is the total equal pieces. That is a skill they have learned in previous years, but haven't seen it for awhile. I am asking that you talk with your child a little about fractions to get a solid understanding. Thank you!
