Description
Fractions have always been a difficult concept to teach and learn. One plus one equals two, that's simple! One-third of a whole...that's not so simple! Keeping it concrete is a great first step. With the help of The Fraction ThinkBook with Gridmatics, Ira Nirenberg gives some terrific strategies for supporting the learning of fractions and making it fun.
