SPED Teacher Comment

Today in math we were speaking about equivalent fractions and number lines.  One of my students who recently came out of the Title 1 class answered a question about what 4/4 would be equivalent to.  He immediately answered 1.  The SPED teacher was surprised he answered so quickly and asked him how he figured it out so fast.  He stated that it was the same thing as 4 divided by 4 which would equal 1, and proceeded to stated that any number over itself was 1 listing off examples.  The logic was very simple, but seeing other 3rd grade classes she was surprised to see students making connections to fractions and division.
