30 Day Focus on Fractions

Starting August 1st – Ending August 31st!

When teachers are asked to name a mathematical concept that is often difficult for students to grasp, what do you think their answer is? One concept that always surfaces as a road block in mathematical development is fractions. The teaching of FRACTIONS is a major bottleneck in mathematics education that can really slow students down. If they don’t grasp fractions, it can hinder their learning of future concepts.

So, how can we help our students to have a deeper understanding of fractions? Join in, contribute your thoughts and  learn together with us, for 30 days.

As you may know I love games (I’ll be highlighting many games throughout these 30 days), and with most games there is a “Prize” or reward for playing. Check out the grand prize highlighted on the right and there will also be daily prizes too (read below for more details).

The Goals:

  • Improvement of teaching practices in the classroom by targeting ONE mathematical concept at a time TOGETHER for one month every day.
  • Move from isolation to collaboration in mastering teaching (math) one concept at a time. What do we need to focus on to improve the teaching of fractions in math education?

Rationale:

  • Mastery of fractions is a predictor of students’ later success in algebra and other higher level mathematics, therefore more effective instruction is necessary for learning success.

Join me as we work together to improve mathematics education!
