Kids should have time and space to learn concepts and should have the chance to talk about math and demonstrate understanding through performance tasks, not just paper and pencil activities.

This episode talks about the 5 mental actions of fractions: 

  1. Unitizing
  2. Fragmenting and Partitioning
  3. Iterating
  4. Disembedding
  5. Distributing
