Fractions: The Basics
It is important for every teacher to teach the basics about fractions. Just as basic counting in the foundation for all math things, fractions such as one-half and one-fourth are important in understanding fractions. By learning the basics students can later add, subtract, divide, and multiply fractions. Still today as a high school senior I use fractions in my Pre- Calculus class. One of the most important concepts to understand is equivalent fractions. That is a HUGE concept that is sometimes overlooked.
