Math Without Meltdowns With Lisa Cooner
I’m Lisa Cooner, educator & founder of Math Without Meltdowns. Let’s build confidence and calm, one math moment at a time.
I help moms support kids in math—without tears, stress, or overwhelm—through digital resources, courses, and compassionate guidance.
Teaching fractions doesn't have to be hard! 💡
Struggling to help your child or students understand the concept of fractions? Visual aids are a game-changer! 🌈
In this quick video, I’m breaking down how to use fraction strips (also known as fraction bars) to easily represent fractions.
We’ll cover:
How to visualize a "whole."
Identifying the denominator (the total number of parts).
Identifying the numerator (the part we shade).
These simple tools turn abstract numbers into clear, concrete concepts.
Give it a watch and try this method out with your learners!
Want to try this at home or in your classroom?
