Fun-damentals of Fractions, Multiplication, & Division

Fractions don't have to be frustrating — and this course proves it. Fun-damentals of Fractions, Multiplication, & Division is a hands-on, interactive course designed for students who want to build real confidence working with fractions from the ground up. Students will move from understanding what a numerator and denominator actually mean, all the way through multiplying and dividing fractions, converting mixed numbers, and tackling real-world word problems. Along the way, engaging visuals, games, and relatable examples (yes, including pizza) make the math click in a way that sticks. Whether your student is meeting fractions for the first time or needs to shore up the fundamentals before moving on to more advanced math, this course gives them the tools — and the confidence — to succeed.

Numerators, Denominators, and Mixed Numbers Students learn what the top and bottom numbers of a fraction mean, then change mixed numbers to improper fractions with the multiply-then-add method and back again.

Equivalent and Simplified Fractions Using multiplication and division, students find equivalent fractions and reduce fractions to lowest terms, an important step before any adding, subtracting, multiplying, or dividing.

Adding and Subtracting Fractions Students add and subtract fractions with like denominators, then learn to find a common denominator when the denominators are different, including in word problems with more than one step.

Multiplying, Dividing, and Real Recipes Students multiply fractions by whole numbers and other fractions, divide using reciprocals, and use these skills on real problems like changing a recipe, measuring distance, or figuring out a discount.
