Concrete values are acquired by children much better, than abstract. How to explain to the child that it two third? The concept of fraction demands special representation. There are some methods helping to realize that such nonintegral number.
It is required to you
- - special lotto;
- - apple and candies;
- the circle from cardboard consisting of several parts;
- - piece of chalk.
Instruction
1. Try to interest the child. On walk play in special classics. If in usual to you bothered to jump already, and the account is mastered by the child well - try such option. Draw classics chalk on asphalt as it is shown in the drawing and explain to the kid that it is possible to jump so: 1 - 2 - 3..., and it is possible and so 1 - 1.5 - 2 - 2.5... Children very much like to play and so they understand better that between numbers, there are still intermediate values - parts. It is your first and firm step on the way to studying fractional numbers. Fine visual aid.
2. Take the whole apple and offer it at the same time to two children. They will answer you immediately that it is impossible. Then cut apple and offer them again. Now everything is all right. to everyone got on an identical half of apple. It is also parts of a single whole.
3. Suggest the child to halve four candies with you. He easily will make it. Then get one more and suggest to make most too. It is clear, that the whole candy cannot get to you and the child at once. The way out can be found, having cut candy in half. Then at everyone to turn out about two whole candies and one half.
4. For children is more senior use a cutting circle. It is possible to divide it into 2, 4, 6 or 8 parts. We suggest children to take a circle. Then we divide it into two halves. From two halves the circle perfectly will turn out even if to exchange a half with the neighbor in a school desk (circles have to be identical diameter). Each half we divide a loan a hedgehog into a half. It turns out that the circle can consist and their 4 parts. And each half turns out from two half. Then on a board we write down it in the form of fraction. Explaining what is numerator (how many parts took) and a denominator (into how many parts of everything divided). So it is easier for children to acquire a difficult concept - fraction.
