The Challenge of FractionsStudents continually still struggle with the concept of fractions. This includes the basic understanding of fractions, concrete representations and models, and basic operations involving fractions. Students often lack number sense and tend to use whole number properties to interpret fractions. To help with this, students should be taught the conceptual meaning of fractions. These modules address these concepts and include references to real-life examples.
Module 1: Part-Whole Relationships Module 2: Understanding Fractions as a Number Module 3: Visual Models Modules include student activities, videos, and assessments. The learning objectives are for conceptual understanding (Modules 1 & 2) and fraction modeling (Module 3). Activities, infographics, and assessments are available to download for classroom use.
