Math Course 2.0 – Fractions Step by Step

Numeracy skills start with understanding whole numbers and performing arithmetic operations with whole numbers. For complete numeracy skills, the concepts and use of part numbers must be understood. This is a subject area where many students have some difficulty with the concepts. Without a strong understanding of numeracy skills, students will struggle with other parts of the math curriculum. Part numbers can be expressed in different forms, as fractions, decimals or percents. Math Course 1, Fractions: Step by Step, addresses the concepts of part numbers and covers how to perform arithmetic operations with math fractions and how to solve math fractions problems. A complete list of Topics covered by this Course appears below. The subject of Fractions is recognized as a complete ‘math strand’ within the math curriculum. Math Course 1 covers 30 learning outcomes which meet or exceed the standards set by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics for fractions and also correlates to state standards.
