Book Description
Kumon's research has discovered that children learn more easily when they tackle one skill at a time. That's why Kumon Focus on Workbooks shine a spotlight on one challenging maths topic per book and help children improve these essential skills and gain confidence in their abilities. Each workbook utilises the Kumon Method - a step-by-step, incremental approach that helps children learn at their own pace and without anxiety. By rigorously practising each skill, the child will be proficient in the mathematics that is crucial for future learning.

Book Description
A Focus on Fractions is the first book to make cognitive research on how students develop their understanding of fraction concepts readily accessible and understandable to pre- and in-service K– 8 mathematics educators. This important resource assists teachers in translating research findings into their classroom practice by conveying detailed information about how students develop fraction understandings as well as common student misconceptions, errors, preconceptions, and partial understandings that may interfere with students learning. Using extensive annotated samples of student work, as well as vignettes characteristic of classroom teachers’ experiences, this book equips educators with knowledge and tools to reveal students’ thinking so that they can modify their teaching to improve student learning of fractions concepts. Special Features: End of Chapter Questions provide teachers the opportunity to analyze student thinking and consider instructional strategies for their own students. Instructional Links help teachers relate concepts from the chapter to their own instructional materials and programs. Big Ideas and Research Reviews frame the chapters and provide a platform for meaningful exploration of the teaching of fractions. Answer Key posted online offers extensive explanations of in-chapter questions. A Focus on Fractions bridges the gap between what mathematics education researchers have discovered about the learning of fraction concepts and what teachers need to know to make effective instructional decisions.

Book Description
A Focus on Fractions is a groundbreaking effort to make the mathematics education research on how students develop their understanding of fraction concepts readily accessible and understandable to pre- and in-service K– 8 mathematics educators. Using extensive annotated samples of student work, as well as vignettes characteristic of classroom teachers’ experiences, this book equips educators with the knowledge and tools to reveal students’ thinking so that they can modify their teaching and improve student learning of fraction concepts. A Focus on Fractions 2nd edition includes sections on the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics and the Ongoing Assessment Project (OGAP) Fraction Framework integrated into each chapter as well as a new chapter on the OGAP Fraction Progression and how it can be used for formative assessment purposes. This updated edition assists teachers in translating research findings into their classroom practice by conveying detailed information about how students develop fraction understandings. Additional images and examples serve to flesh out and supplement the newly-introduced concepts in this updated and expanded edition. Special Features: Looking Back Questions at the end of each chapter provide teachers the opportunity to analyze student thinking and consider instructional strategies for their own students. Instructional Links help teachers relate concepts from the chapter to their own instructional materials and programs. Big Ideas frame the chapters and provide a platform for meaningful exploration of the teaching of fractions. Answer Key posted online offers extensive explanations of in-chapter questions. New sections devoted to the CCSSM and OGAP Fraction Progression are woven throughout the book as well as a new stand alone chapter on the OGAP Fraction Progression. The OGAP Fraction Framework is an all-new eResource, now available as a free download from the book’s website: www.routledge.com/9781138816442.

Book Description
This math workbook from the Dr. Pi Squared Math Workbooks focuses on basic fraction skills. The first two chapters introduce the concept of representing a fraction with pie slices. The remaining ten chapters offer practice converting between mixed numbers and improper fractions, reducing fractions and mixed numbers, finding the lowest common denominator, comparing fractions and mixed numbers, finding reciprocals of fractions and mixed numbers, and adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing fractions and mixed numbers. Each section begins with a description of how to perform the mathematical procedure, including fully-solved examples to illustrate the technique and to serve as a useful guide. Answers are nicely organized by page number in the back of the book to allow students, parents, or teachers to quickly check the answers. There is ample workspace for students to write large answers and still fit their solutions comfortably into the space provided. High-quality, durable, bright paper is used (instead of standard workbook paper, which often tears easily and appears dull in color). CONTENTS: (1) Determining Fractions Visually, (2) Representing Fractions Visually (students color the pie slices), (3) Converting Mixed Numbers into Improper Fractions, (4) Converting Improper Fractions into Mixed Numbers, (5) Reducing Fractions and Mixed Numbers, (6) Finding Lowest Common Denominators, (7) Comparing Fractions (includes fractions vs. fractions, integers vs. fractions, and mixed numbers vs. fractions), (8) Adding Fractions (includes fractions plus fractions, fractions plus integers, and mixed numbers plus mixed numbers), (9) Subtracting Fractions (includes fractions minus fractions, subtracting fractions with integers, and mixed number minus mixed numbers), (10) Multiplying Fractions (includes fractions times fractions, fractions times integers, and mixed numbers times mixed numbers), (11) Reciprocating Fractions, Integers, and Mixed Numbers, (12) Dividing Fractions, Answers (includes fractions divided by fractions, dividing fractions with integers, and mixed numbers divided by mixed numbers).
