Fraction First Steps

A scaffolded introduction to fractions designed for SIFE students with no literacy. This sequence moves from the concept of fair shares to counting equal parts and understanding unit fractions through high-visual support and Portuguese verbal anchors.

Slice and Share Foundations

A foundational introduction to fractions as equal parts of a whole, specifically designed for students with interrupted education and no literacy. This lesson uses high-visual, low-text materials to assess and build conceptual understanding of partitioning and fair shares.

Counting Equal Parts

Focuses on identifying the number of equal parts (2, 3, and 4) in a whole. Introduces the vocabulary for halves, thirds, and fourths through visual counting and symbols, maintaining a low-literacy approach.

One Piece Only

Introduces the concept of a unit fraction by identifying 'one part' out of a whole. Focuses on visual recognition of one shaded part and introduces the verbal phrasing 'one out of x' in English and Portuguese.

More Than One

Introduces non-unit fractions by counting multiple shaded parts (e.g., 2 out of 3, 3 out of 4). Focuses on the verbal transition from "one part" to "many parts" while maintaining visual consistency.
