Find One Third of an amount

Finding one third of an amount is an essential skill in mathematics, particularly when dealing with fractions. The concept is visually and interactively explored in the resources provided by Buzzard Publishing in their 2018 edition of CanDo Fractions. These resources are designed to offer a hands-on approach to understanding fractions through engaging activities and examples. The materials include a variety of exercises that encourage students to divide quantities into thirds, thereby enhancing their comprehension of how to calculate a third of different numbers and apply this knowledge to practical situations.

The CanDo Fractions resources incorporate vivid illustrations and clear instructions to help students grasp the idea of finding one third. The worksheets prompt learners to partition shapes and amounts into three equal parts, which is a fundamental aspect of understanding and working with fractions. By providing step-by-step guidance and visual aids, the exercises aim to build confidence in students as they learn to identify and calculate one third of a given amount. This approach ensures that learners can develop their skills in a supportive and structured environment, making the concept of fractions more accessible and less intimidating.
