Articles related to "Introducing Fractions"
Introducing Fractional Numbers (I) Fractions should be introduced by conveying the concept of congruence. Some ideas to do it are discussed here. fractions • fractional numbers • fraction models • idea of fractions • half
Equivalent Fractions (I) Identifying equivalent fractions using fraction kits is fun. fractions • fractional numbers • fraction models • introducing fractions • writing fractions
Equivalent Fractions (II) Identifying equivalent fractions using paper expands understanding of fractions drastically. fractions • equivalent fractions • fractions learning by paper folding fractional num • fraction models • introducing fractions
Equivalent Fractions (III) Diagrams and number lines are also useful in finding out equivalent fractions. fractions • equivalent fractions • number line • diagrams for equivalent fractions • fraction models
Equivalent Fractions (IV) There is always one and only one equivalent fraction with lowest terms for all the equivalent fractions with higher terms. We can always get it using same division operation on both the numerator and the denominator of the given fraction. We repeat this process of division until further division of the numerator and the denominator with a number higher than one is not possible. fractions • equivalent fractions • number line • diagrams for equivalent fractions • fraction models
Introducing Fractional Numbers (II) In this article some more types of experiences, which need to be given are discussed. Also some misconceptions related to fractions are presented. keywords fractions • fractional numbers • fraction models • idea of fractions • half
Introducing Fractional Numbers (III) Introducing fractions using discrete sets of objects is discussed. Writing fractional numbers and their word names can then be introduced using paper folding work by children. fractions • fractional numbers • fraction models • idea of fractions • half
Introducing Fractional Numbers (IV) Linking fractional number with one of the methods we use to represent division, makes understanding of fractional numbers easy. fractions • fractional numbers • fraction models • stencils • card paper models
Introducing Fractional Numbers (V) Different meanings of fractional numbers taught so far need to be repeated many times, so that children try to make sense of fractions in different ways. fractions • fractional numbers • fraction models • stencils • card paper models
Introducing Fractional Numbers (VI) Emphasizing different meanings of fractional numbers by handling actual objects is discussed in this article. fractions • fractional numbers • fraction models • stencils • card paper models
Introducing Fractional Numbers (VII) If children are familiar with ways of representing fractions pictorially, they usually make no mistakes in comparing, adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing fractions. fractions • fractional numbers • fraction models • introducing fractions • fraction notation
Making Fraction Kits (I) Fraction wall is a useful visual tool when working with fractions. fractions • fractional numbers • fraction models • introducing fractions • writing fractions
Making Fraction Kits (II) A fraction chart is another useful tool for understanding operations on fractions. fractions • fractional numbers • fraction models • introducing fractions • writing fractions |
