Learning Fractions
Learning fractions may seem difficult at first, but with help from parents, teachers and tutors, the task does not have to be frustrating. The first step in learning fractions is making sure one knows what a fraction is. A fraction is the mathematical way of expressing parts of a whole. The bottom number of the fraction is the number of all possible parts while the top number is the number of parts in the equation. For example, 3/6 means 3 parts of a total of 6. The tangible items can make seeing the equation easier for visual learners. Hershey's Chocolate Bars come segmented twelve parts, which makes it easy to identify the whole. When children must learn how to add and subtract fractions, it is best to practice them. Websites, such as www.aaamath.com and www.coolmath.com, offer practice equations as well as step-by-step instructions about dealing with fractions in mathematical equations.
