Full teaching script
  1. Today: Fractions of amounts. Our goal: Find a fraction of a quantity.
  2. Take one idea at a time. Pause after each sentence; ask for repetition whenever you need it.
  3. The bottom number tells you how many equal parts to split into; the top tells you how many of those parts to take. Three quarters of 20: divide by 4 to get 5, then take three of them — 15.
  4. Together: choose one example from the explanation and show how it works. What do you notice?
  5. Your turn: Find 2/5 of 45, 3/8 of 64 and 5/6 of 72.
  6. Reflect: what made sense, and what would you like explained differently?
