FAQ

Which fraction words are 1st graders expected to know?

The core vocabulary includes 'half' (and 'halves'), 'third,' 'fourth,' and 'quarter,' as specified in CCSS 1.G.A.3.

How does learning fraction words support reading comprehension in math?

Word problems in higher grades routinely use fraction vocabulary; learning these words in 1st grade means students won't be tripped up by unfamiliar terminology later.

Should students learn fraction words before or after fraction symbols?

Most curricula introduce fraction words (e.g., 'one-half') alongside visual models before introducing the numeric notation (1/2), as the words are more intuitive for young learners.
