Understanding fractions is essential for children's mathematical development and everyday life. Parents and teachers should care about this concept for several reasons. Firstly, fractions provide the foundation for more advanced mathematical concepts, such as ratios, proportions, and algebra. A solid grasp of fractions ensures that students can tackle these topics with confidence when they arise.
