In this presentation, we will explore an innovative teaching strategy designed to empower third graders struggling with equivalent fractions, which comprise between 28-32% of the Math EOG. The session aims to share a proven, practical, replicable strategy that harnesses the power of number lines to enhance students' comprehension of equivalent fractions, thereby improving their performance in standardized tests. Attendees will learn how to teach students to create and utilize their own number line manipulatives using scratch paper—a tool especially valuable in testing environments where traditional manipulatives are not allowed. The objective is to equip educators with a method that not only aids in understanding fractions but also instills confidence in students facing summative assessments. Participants will be actively involved in a hands-on demonstration of creating number line manipulatives. Furthermore, we will review before-and-after test scores to assess the impact of this teaching method. Interactive discussions will be encouraged to share insights and variations on implementing this strategy in different educational contexts. Attendees will receive a comprehensive guide on teaching the number line strategy, including step-by-step instructions for students to follow, practical tips for classroom implementation, and access to a collection of practice questions that effectively integrate number lines with fraction learning. By the end of this session, educators will be equipped with a novel tool to significantly impact their students' understanding of fractions and their performance on standardized tests.
