Fractions

Offering visuals can help students to fully understand the concept of fractions, which are parts of a whole. 

The Pros: Using visual representations to teach concepts such a fractions can help to strengthen students' conceptual understanding of mathematical topics. These aids can also fit the needs of learners who need differentiated instruction. 

The Cons: Complex and advanced fractions can be difficult to represent with visual aids. However, with fractions such as 2/3, as seen above, fractions can easily be represented with visuals in many forms. 

Real-life applications of fractions can be applied to food, measuring ingredients, or dividing objects in general.

The Pros: Teaching with real-life applications helps to make learning relatable and practical for students. 

The Cons: The cons to teaching with this application are that this strategy may not apply to all complex concepts.
