Information
Description
What It Is:
This worksheet is a visual glossary created to support English Learners in understanding key vocabulary related to fraction representations. It introduces essential math terms such as denominator, numerator, fraction, part, whole, and representation, pairing each definition with a clear visual model to reinforce meaning and comprehension.
Why Use It:
Fraction terminology can be challenging for students, especially English Learners. This glossary breaks down academic language into simple definitions supported by visuals, helping students build confidence, improve math vocabulary, and better understand how fractions are represented in different ways (symbols, pictures, and parts of a whole).
How to Use It:
• Introduce vocabulary words before teaching fraction representation lessons.
• Review each term and visual together during whole-class or small-group instruction.
• Use the glossary as a reference tool during fraction modeling and discussion activities.
• Encourage students to use the vocabulary when explaining their reasoning orally or in writing.
Grade Suitability:
Best suited for Grades 2–4.
• Grade 2: Introduction to basic fraction language and representations.
• Grade 3–4: Reinforcement of numerator, denominator, and fraction models.
Target Users:
Elementary students, English Learners, math teachers, EL specialists, special education teachers, and homeschool families supporting fraction instruction.
