| Abstract | Many children have problems with the abstract concept of fractions. Janvrin School in Jersey has decided to adopt a consistent approach to visualising fractions to promote understanding. New teacher Patrick is being mentored into the scheme. Understanding Fractions follows Patrick as he is introduced to the concept of fractions in a concrete way using part and whole paper cups to visually represent halves and quarters. Moving the cups between two places, a resources table and a maths table, makes addition and subtraction clear and tangible to students. The concrete movement of cups is then substituted for moving cards that represent the fractions. |
