Fractions, fractions, fractions
Fractions – for most people it is a dirty word, but for my class figuring out the patterns and tricks for rational numbers made them less complicated and more appreciated. We worked with colored circle & rectangle pieces until like fractions became more obvious. The students used their family facts to help make unlike terms more user friendly.
