Fractions are all around us!


Yes, we have fractions all over the places. But when it comes to the knowledge of fractions, then 4 out of 5 people don't acknowledge their presence.

 

Look in the kitchen; recipes, slices of pizza or a pie are very good examples of fractions around us. Coins are fractions of one dollar. We use fractions to tell time.

 

At work places we deal with hundreds types of fractions in the form of measuring tape, recipes for restaurant foods, quoting a price for a customer, workers' hours of  work, calculating discount and of course gasoline prices go up or down by fractions of dollars.


Then, why everybody hate fractions? One reason may be that fractions can be in many forms. For example; decimals can be fractions, when we divide a number by another it makes a fraction, percentages and ration can be fractions. So, students may get confused that what actually fractions are?

 

In simple language; fractions are parts of a whole or a group. For example, one apple, you ate half; now half you ate and the left over half are both fractions.

 

There is something wrong in the way we teach or learn fractions. This site is developed to put a little effort to make fractions learning and teaching easy. You can find some art based fraction instructions here. Fractions worksheets and lessons on this site can help students get better at fractions.
