Learning Fractions through the story telling

Many children find learning fractions tricky. In Room 3 we learned them through telling a story of an old man and an old woman. All children helped to make a pretend made a pizza and the pair cut it in a half to be fair. The pair chose two children and now there were four of them to share pizza. Each had a quarter and the whole class laughed about Room 3 family. It was pleasing to see that a few days later when we were learning the letter "q," Justin remembered the quarter.
