Fractions

I have been thinking about how children often get muddled when learning fractions and find it an intimidating subject. I have found a couple of helpful explanatory videos online to share with the class to help them better understand some of the components to fractions.

Room 18, watch these videos to help you better understand fractions. Watch them a few times if you need to... we don't always learn things the first time... real learning happens when we find the things we don't know and learn them.

And don't forget to make the most of the Mathletics subscription your parents paid for by going online as often as you can to complete tasks on Mathletics.
