Identifying and Writing Fractions in 3rd Grade Math

Mrs. Brewer, a third-grade teacher, presents a math problem about finding a number between zero and one on a number line. She explains fractions as parts of a whole using examples like brownies and pizza. The lesson covers writing fractions with numerators and denominators, emphasizing that fractions are numbers smaller than one whole. Mrs. Brewer engages students with interactive questions and concludes by thanking them for their help.
