Pedagogical Approaches to Teaching Fractions in the 5th Grade

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: This paper examines pedagogical approaches to developing an understanding of fractions in Grade 5 mathematics. It describes visual models, practical problems, error analysis and tasks adapted to students’ prior knowledge. Examples address equal partitioning, the representation of fractions on a number line and the connection between fraction notation and meaning. The paper draws on textbooks and methodological literature; no independent classroom experiment was conducted. The recommendations focus on students’ explanations and the identification of misconceptions.
