For many students, fractions seem like magic. If initial learning of fractions is not connected to the real world it may appear that teachers use “slight of hand/mind” to produce fractional numbers representing a wide range of real world situations. Start your year off feeling more confident to support your students.
A fraction can be a quantity (part of a whole), a counting number (which can be represented on a number line), a division or a ratio. This half-day course will expose the partial concepts and misconceptions that many students hold as they travel the path to real understanding of fractional situations and the numbers that represent them.
Suggestions will be offered for student activities and focus questions to help move fractional thinking forward and to encourage students to understand the complex matrix that forms the rational number system.
Many students, reaching high school, are only “Half-way There”.
