This article explores the application of innovative educational methods in teaching and solving problems related to shares and simple fractions. Traditional approaches to teaching fractions often result in conceptual misunderstandings and mathematical anxiety among students. Innovative methods, including visual aids, interactive digital tools, and problem-based learning, offer alternative strategies that can enhance comprehension and engagement. By integrating these methods into the curriculum, educators can provide a more dynamic and supportive learning environment. This study reviews various innovative techniques, analyzes their effectiveness through case studies, and offers recommendations for their implementation. The findings suggest that these methods significantly improve students' understanding of fractions and their ability to solve related mathematical problems, ultimately fostering a more positive attitude towards mathematics.
