Dear Threehouse: Over the next three weeks, your child will be learning about fractions. Your child will focus on using fractions to name equal parts of a whole, modelling fractions, comparing, and writing about fractions.

For example, “How can we share 12 comic books among 4 people” (equal sharing) or “If each person receives 3 comic books and there are 12 books, how many peop...
