How can I help them conceptualize 1 whole represented by fractions?

For example 3/3 would be outlined with a one surrounding it. Good luck! Teaching fractions is tough!]]> 2017-02-15 22:26:30 UTC https://padlet.com/laurenlarroque1/vrgsc1veyfs8/wish/154182083 alexcollatz https://padlet.com/laurenlarroque1/vrgsc1veyfs8/wish/154201236 Thanks! I should maybe use that strategy when I do problems with students on the white board. ]]> 2017-02-16 01:21:13 UTC https://padlet.com/laurenlarroque1/vrgsc1veyfs8/wish/154201236
