The game of Fractional Dominoes is illustrated. (DT)

Key factors in mathematics remediation for high school students are examined. Levels of learning are discussed, and suggestions are given for working at different learning levels. Examples are given for remedial activities with area, multiplicain, and decimals and percent, and additional references are included. (MNS)

It is viewed understandable that many teachers consider fractions one of the most difficult mathematical topics to teach. School experiences need careful planning to include sequential activities which develop accurate concepts, and concepts are thought best developed by activities which move along the concrete-to-abstract continuum. (MP)

Presents activities that were used to celebrate "Half-Time Day", the halfway point of the school year. Includes various hands-on ways for children to experience the fraction 1/2, including learning centers and whole-group activities. (JRH)

Presented is a conversation with students that gives an insight into the ways students think about decimals. Students were introduced, with the use of a calculator, to decimal notation and systematic experimentation. What students had learned throughout this conversation is discussed. (KR)

Describes an activity that integrates the study of fractions, decimals, percents, rounding, Cartesian coordinates, probability, and statistics into a game using baseball statistics. (MKR)

The 1989 publication, "Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics" provides a vision and a framework for revising and strengthening the K-12 mathematics curriculum in North American schools and for evaluating both the mathematics curriculum and students' progress. When completed, it is expected that the Addenda Series…

This instructor guide, which was developed for use in a manufacturing firm's advanced technical preparation program, contains the materials required to present a learning module that is designed to prepare trainees for the program's statistical process control module by improving their basic math skills and instructing them in basic calculator…

This document lists references on the teaching of fractions, with many of the entries annotated. They are alphabetized by the author by categories: Activity and Game; Addition and Subtraction; Teaching Aids; Application; Assessment; Curriculum; Decimal; Common Fraction; Division; Equivalence of Fractions; Errors; Fraction Concept; Multiplication;…

This collection of reprints from the IDEAS section of the "Arithmetic Teacher," has been selected from those activities appropriate for students in grades 4 through 8. The selections have been reprinted just as they originally appeared in the journal. The ideas are grouped under the headings computation, fractions, problem solving, geometry, and…

The number concepts of greatest common divisor and least common multiple are related to star patterns created through line designs. (JT)

Five exploratory activities arising from work by sixth-grade students are described. They concern geometric ideas and number concepts, including fractions. Illustrations are included. (MNS)

Instructional strategies that will develop the concept of a fraction are presented. Fractions as counting numbers, measures, and subdivisions are included, with a combination of regions and number lines suggested as a teaching aid. (MNS)

Manipulative materials designed to instruct pupils on fractions are presented. The use of unit holders in teaching fundamental concepts of fractions and equivalent fractions are reviewed. (MP)

The focus is on using mathematical concepts and operations to decode holiday messages. Worksheets are provided for levels one-two, three-four, five-six, and seven-eight. (MNS)
