Fractions are one of the more challenging concepts in math. After you get beyond the shaded parts, it gets hard!
Our math class is using Fraction Bars to explore fraction topics such as:
Numerators
Denominators
Arrays
Equivalent fractions
Proper fractions
Improper fractions
Mixed Numbers
Simplifying
Soon, we'll continue on to learn adding and subtracting, multiplying and dividing fractions. We plan to "test drive" some online fractions games, too.
