For example
Three of four equal roti pieces make the fraction three quarters.
In Grade 3
Children share out real things they can cut, like a roti or a mango, long before they meet the written form with one number above another.
Watch out for
Children often call any two pieces halves, even when one piece is bigger. Halves and quarters only count when every piece is the same size.
Say it at home
When you share food out, name the parts aloud. Say we cut it into four equal pieces, so each piece is one quarter.
