PRODUCT SUMMARY
Whether it's a birthday cake or a dozen eggs, fractions name equal parts of a whole object or a whole set. In Fractions, students will understand the relationship between parts and wholes and learn to name and write fractions with numerators and denominators. Kids discover that equivalent fractions, mixed numbers and improper fractions are different ways to name the same amount. Is one-third larger or smaller than one-fifth? The mystery of comparing and ordering fractions is solved using number sense and fraction strips. The concept of adding and subtracting fractions with like and unlike denominators is also emphasized. Fractions are an important part of the math whole! Part of the multivolume Math for Children DVD Series. A Teacher's Guide is included and available online.
