Fractions, start to finish

About this course

Fractions trip up more students than almost any topic in primary math — usually because they were taught as rules to memorise instead of ideas to understand. This course fixes that. We start with what a fraction is using number lines and real objects, then build up to operations only once the concept is solid.

What you'll learn

• Read, write and picture fractions on a number line
• Compare and order fractions, including unlike denominators
• Add and subtract fractions and mixed numbers
• Convert between fractions, decimals and percentages

Prerequisites

Comfort with multiplication and division up to 12×12. If you're shaky there, try Arithmetic — Grade 3 first.
