01 / UNDERSTAND

Here is what is happening.

One quarter means one of four equal parts of the same whole. Equal parts matter. Two quarters make one half, so 2/4 and 1/2 describe the same share.

Pause. Make the idea your own.

Explain one idea to a partner, draw it or write it in your own words. Which part is an observation, an example or a question?

You can use a home language. No need to share personal experiences or finish everything in one sitting.
