10. Types of Fractions
This material introduces children to the study of fractions through observation, matching and classification activities.
By pairing visual representations with their corresponding names, children discover that fractions can be classified according to their characteristics and that each type represents a different relationship between the whole and its parts. Working with this material builds a solid conceptual understanding of fractions before moving on to more advanced operations, allowing children to construct meaning through concrete exploration. Includes matching activities featuring the main types of fractions and their corresponding representations. Montessori Purpose: To recognize, classify and understand the different types of fractions and their characteristics through observation and analysis.
