Fractions 2006

 

Note: We did not finish all this material over the summer 2006, but we did get a good deal of fraction work accomplished. We stopped at the point of learning mixed and improper fractions and how to convert from one to the other. We will resume fractions after the 4A/4B Singapore math curriculum is completed.

    *    Fraction Shape Up    Eric worked on this software daily over the summer 2006 in order to concentrate on fractions.   

    *   I put together a Fractions textbook compiled from multiple sources. This served as a supplement to his software program.  I sorted the worksheets from the various sources into roughly the same order of presentation as Fraction Shape Up program and put them in a three ring binder. These extra problems provided extensive review.
