Thinking ... Thinking ...

So, I can see why fractions are hard to teach to students. Its so hard for me to think of other ways to teach it without teaching the rules. I keep reverting to them in class when we go over it.
Last class, I started understanding what the fractions consisted of. I hope that by the end of class today, I should have a better handle on it.
I'm having a bit of a tough time explaining conceptually in words, still. It is much easier for me to talk about it.
So, my question is how does a teacher go about teaching fractions to the kids who are ready without being confusing?
