- They understood that fractions represent a part of the whole orange, such as half or a quarter.
- They practiced identifying and naming fractions by looking at the orange slices.

For continued development, you can encourage the child to explore fractions in other contexts. For example, they can cut other fruits or snacks into equal parts and discuss the fractions. You can also introduce fraction manipulatives, like fraction bars or circles, to help them visualize and understand fractions better.
