In this course, you will learn how to:
- Understand instructional strategies for teaching fractions
- Use models to teach the conceptual development of fractional parts
- Identify examples and nonexamples of fractional parts
- Recognize how building a strong foundation for fractions impacts future success in mathematics
- Eliminate “fracnophobia” from your classroom
- Implement the skills students use to process mathematics into your lessons on fractions
