The coach of the soccer team is a math teacher. And the name of the team is the Fractions. The numbers on the kids' uniforms are fractions. At half time, the kids eat orange slices that are cut in halves, quarters, and thirds. All of these fractions add up to two things-a winning team and lots of fun! |
“"Okay, Fractions," Coach Curtis said, "remember this rule: the larger the bottom number of a fraction is, the smaller each part is. Got it?"”
