David Lyttle Concept Maths

Genuine question… would this phrasing broaden a child’s conception of fractions & deepen understanding or potentially create misconceptions?

Love the use of Materials generally, your videos and your use of Numicon. this particular video made however made me wonder… is it ok to teach kids that fractions can in some situations can be 2 out of 3, or stick with 2/3 always being two thirds?

When you have a question like. There are 12 blue cars. That is 2/3 of all the cars in the parking lot. How many cars are there altogether?

I’m struggling with model this a bit. 2/3 of 15, means two thirds of 15. Your set of 15 needs to be grouped into thirds, I.e 3 groups,. you are showing 2 thirds as two out of every 3. Commutatively accurate but what happens….

Happy to help out. :)
