Teaching fractions is relatively simple when you are at the one-half (1/2) or one-quarter (1/4) but when you start getting into tenths and hundredths it becomes a little more difficult to adequately explain it to children. Graphics are an easy way to show the class so that the concept becomes clearer as you go along. [...]
Fractions such as one quarter or one half are relatively easy to understand particularly in relation to one dollar but when you start getting into other percentages and higher dollar figures, it can become more confusing unless you develop the ability to make it simple for yourself. Percentages will be used often in your daily [...]
The final report of the National Mathematics Advisory Panel paid close attention to “proficiency with fractions…for such proficiency is foundational for algebra and, at the present time, seems to be severely underdeveloped.” This webcast, broadcast in September 2008, showcases best practices when it comes to the teaching of fractions. How do teachers and school district personnel ensure deep “conceptual and procedural knowledge of fractions,” as stated by the national math panel report …

How do teachers and school district personnel ensure deep “conceptual and procedural knowledge of fractions,” as stated by the national math panel report? The webcast features videotaped segments from Dr. Hung-Hsi Wu’s Mathematics Professional Development Institute – the famous “Wu Institute” – an intensive three-week summer course that addresses the mathematics needed for teaching number sense in K-7 classrooms.
