Description

This key guide in the best-selling Math Recovery series breaks the fractions learning process down into stages of development, from fragmenting to part-whole reasoning, measuring with unit fractions, reversible reasoning and, finally, using fractions as numbers.

It uses these stages to sequence effective learning for your elementary, or primary, classroom. It also contains a range of instructional tasks and assessment activities that will help you to measure your students’ mathematical understanding and modify your teaching accordingly.

This second edition has been fully revised to include new Lesson and Teacher Spotlight features that offer enhanced guidance on class application, and more prominent links between mathematical theory and whole number learning. It has been rewritten to align with the latest version of the Learning Framework in Number, the structured approach underpinning Math Recovery® professional development.
