Fractions and Decimals from Mastery Learning Systems

This book helps students create their own mental pictures of fractions, and discover tangible ways of adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing them. It uses graphics to clearly illustrate fractions of a thing, fractions of many things, and fractions of a fraction, and enables students to comprehend the real comparisons that underlie the traditional rules, and to reconnect to their sense of natural curiosity and tactile reality.

Students are first grounded in seeing and feeling fractions, and then proceed to more symbolic and abstract ways of dealing with them. Common denominators and confusing operations become compellingly logical necessities as students are guided in making tactile/visual discoveries and comparisons. Lesson guides are included, as well as diagnostic tests and ongoing assessment formats.
