Common Mistakes to Watch For

• Thinking 1/4 is bigger than 1/2 because the number 4 is bigger than the number 2 — kindergartners focus on the digit instead of the size of each piece.
• Calling any two pieces 'halves' even when the cuts are uneven. Children forget that fractions require equal parts, not just the right number of parts.
• Mixing up 'thirds' and 'quarters' because both words sound unfamiliar. Kids may say 'a third' when they mean a quarter, especially when counting 1, 2, 3, 4 pieces.
