I don’t know about you, but even as an adult I had no fraction sense. I could operate with fractions, but I was just following the procedures. I didn’t have a true understanding of fractional amounts. One of the things that helped me build that understanding as an adult were experiences that I had using the CRA model with fractions.
I’m Christina Tondevold, The Recovering Traditionalist, and I hope you will stick around as we explore Using The CRA Approach To Teach Fractions in our quest to Build our own Math Minds so we can Build the Math Minds of our kiddos.
