Jaylen's math foundation

Jaylen can add and subtract fractions correctly. She knows the steps and gets the right answers.

One thing to know: she's memorizing the steps without understanding why they work.

This matters: Ratios and proportions are next in the curriculum. They build on this understanding that Jaylen is currently lacking. Strengthen the foundation now so that ratios and proportions make sense later.

Lesson 10 · All Sorts of Denominators

Ms. Thompson knows about this and has a plan for today.

Jaylen will work with a partner who can show her why common denominators work, not just how. Her teacher will check in with her specifically during the main activity.

Yesterday's check-in ›

MCT talked with Jaylen for 7 minutes yesterday.

She solved fraction problems correctly. She knows the steps. When asked why the method works, she said "that's just the rule." She also said 1/4 is bigger than 1/3 "because 4 is bigger than 3."

She's following rules she's learned, but hasn't built the understanding underneath yet.

What can I do at home?

🦊

Try this at dinner: cut something into thirds and fourths. Pizza, a brownie, anything. Ask Jaylen which piece is bigger, a third or a fourth. Then ask: "how do you know?"

She's close to getting it. Listen to what she says and see if having the physical pieces helps her.

Jaylen can also practice with me anytime. I'll work through fraction reasoning with her, just like our check-in but focused on building understanding. Tap below when she's ready.
