Here's how it works:

1. Fraction Identification: Students begin by reading the fraction presented in a box. Whether it's written as numerals like 1/2 or as a word like "half," students practice identifying and understanding fractions in different forms.

2. Fraction Representation: Once students have identified the fraction, they move on to the exciting
