That’s a ready-to-go worksheet for you 9L math teachers. As for the lesson, just bring in a case of beer. Show the kids that there’s 24 in there (although virtually all 9L kids already know this) and 24/24 is a whole number, whereas after somebody drinks one (pick a volunteer, and you’ll have lots) we are in the brave new world of FRACTIONS!
That’s how you get kids interested in learning fractions, one of the biggest hurdles in math education.
