Try an example
Divide two equal rectangles into four equal parts each. Shade one part in the first and three in the second: they represent 1/4 and 3/4. The denominator describes how the whole is divided; the numerator counts selected parts.
What to check
The parts must have equal size, even if their shapes differ. Identify the whole before naming the fraction. One colored region among three unequal regions does not automatically represent one third.
Explain and check
Work through one example aloud before independent practice. To check 18 + 7 = 25, calculate 25 − 7. If a word problem asks about meters or coins, include that unit and check whether the answer fits the situation.
