Description
Developing Fractions Sense B
Every new concept or skill is introduced concretely using fraction blocks, or visually using rectangular grids, before the student is provided with the symbolic or arithmetic approach. This concrete-to-symbolic approach enables conceptual learning. The focus of the program is on addition and subtraction of mixed fractions having a common denominator, comparing fractions using benchmarks, and multiplication of fractions by a whole number.
