The topic of fractions has traditionally been a source of difficulties for students in the primary school mathematics curriculum. This is largely because of a number of different aspects of meaning that fractions can have in real-life situations. For example, a fraction can be: a part of a whole, a comparison between a group of things and a subgroup, a point along a number line, the result of a division or a way of comparing two things.
The various meanings of the fraction concept need to be carefully developed from Kindergarten onwards. This introductory book has been devised so that the fundamental meanings of fractions are introduced and practised to enable children to achieve mastery of the concept. |
