What can quesadillas teach your class about fractions? More than you might think. AJ and Zoe from the StudyJams! crew use this Mexican cuisine to explain how fractions are just equal parts of a whole, defining the key terms numerator and denominator. They also discuss how fractions are used in sports, money, and music. An excellent supplement to include in an introductory lesson on fractions.
