What children learn in Level 61
- A fraction can be broken into parts in more than one way. Here is 5 eighths of a yard of ribbon.
- Cut it into a piece of 2 eighths and a piece of 3 eighths. Together they're still 5 eighths.
- Or cut it into 1 eighth and 4 eighths. Or 1 eighth, 1 eighth, and 3 eighths! The tops always add to 5.
