Fractions are a foundational piece for tackling mathematics at all levels of schooling. Students need to understand how two numbers interact with each other as numerators and denominators, as ratios, ...

Fractions are the basis for most higher-level mathematics. Students need to master the numerical values in earlier grades to tackle topics like algebra later. There’s only one hitch: Fractions can ...

Students will find common denominators to help add fractions with unlike denominators. Students will join Ms. MacDonald to find common denominators to help add fractions with unlike denominators.

Fractions are a notoriously tricky part of elementary math education for many children. Too often teachers struggle to ensure students are grasping the conceptual underpinnings of this complicated ...

Have you ever tried to add or subtract fractions that have different denominators? It’s tricky, right? Join Ms. Susanna Post in this lesson to learn how to solve these types of challenging problems!

Ramp Math, a new supplemental math program, addresses unfinished learning and prepares students for grade-level math instruction.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ExploreLearning, a Cambium Learning Group company and provider of interactive math and science learning solutions, today announced the launch of ExploreLearning® ...

In adding and subtracting fractions with unlike denominators, you have to get a least common denominator which is exactly like the least common multiple it just so happens to be in the denominator.

Many children never master fractions. When asked whether 12/13 + 7/8 was closest to 1, 2, 19, or 21, only 24% of a nationally representative sample of more than 20,000 US 8th graders answered ...

Hyesang Chang and colleagues, from Stanford University, explored why some children struggle to learn math compared to their peers in a new JNeurosci paper. Children selected which numbers were bigger ...

In this chapter, we look beyond the whole numbers at other numbers that are included in school mathematics in grades pre-K to 8, particularly in the upper grades. We first look at the rational numbers ...
