Your job is to teach fractions properly

"One second", please

No, "one second" is not an appropriate way to refer to one-half!
11:05
Wait — “one second” in time means one second...
11:02“One-half” is a fraction and it means 50% of something, it written as
Exactly! “One second” is a unit of time.“One-half” is a fraction — written as ½ — and it means 50% of something.

Got it! So if I say, “You can have half the cake,” that’s ½ of the cake. But if I say, “Wait one second,” I’m just making you wait… not giving you cake. 🍰

Right! One is math. The other is patience.

Understood! From now on, I’ll teach: Fractions = Parts of a Whole, Seconds = Parts of a Minute — Totally different things, unless we’re timing how fast someone eats half a pizza!
11:02Game Time: Counting Apples!
How many apples can you count below?
Ready to Add?
Addition is all about putting things together. When you add, you're finding the total number of items in two or more groups.
For example, if you have 2 red cars and 3 blue cars, you have 5 cars in total. 2 + 3 = 5!
(A fun addition game will be here soon!)
Let's Try Subtraction!
Subtraction is the opposite of addition. It means taking things away.
Imagine you have 5 cookies and you eat 2 of them. You have 3 cookies left. 5 - 2 = 3!
