In January 2018, I signed up to work as a substitute teacher at a public school in Columbus, Ohio. When I showed up, I wore what I thought was professional attire for a school teacher, including a long-sleeved shirt and dress pants. I also wore my hijab, which is a symbol of my faith and tradition in the Muslim community.

This goes far beyond simply shading parts of a whole or identifying numerators and denominators. It involves true, flexible understanding. Errors in fraction calculations can often be traced back to poor fraction sense. For example, think of a student who might add three-fourths and three-fourths and get six-eighths.
