Simple Fractions

Naming, recognizing, and comparing fractions is accessible to students of any age or ability level with Simple Fractions. The fractions halves through eighths are presented as parts of as whole and as parts of set. A variety of activities are provided to meet the needs of visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learners, including drawing, coloring, verbalizing, and cut-and-paste exercises. Multiple representations give students ample opportunity to master fraction concepts. Extension activities are provided for more hands-on learning in the classroom. Students using Simple Fractions will not only be able to name and recognize fractions, but will understand what each part (numerator and denominator) of the fraction means. They will also learn hands-on techniques for comparing relative fraction sizes. This will provide a solid basis for transitioning to more complex fraction topics.Douglas, Vincent is the author of 'Simple Fractions ', published 2003 under ISBN 9780742419353 and ISBN 0742419355.
