How to Make Learning Fractions Easy

 

It’s not uncommon for students who are typically good at math to suddenly struggle once they encounter fractions. This is often because students can’t make a connection between fractions and real-world learning.

With these simple tips, you can help your child or student learn fractions easier.

Use Manipulatives

Most children learn best when they’re using their hands. Using manipulatives allows students to have a visual and tactile representation of the fraction problems they are trying to solve. This helps them understand fractions concepts better.

Teach with Pictures

Just like how kinesthetic learners understand lessons better when using their hands, visual learners benefit from seeing concepts drawn out before them. Drawing and cutting shapes and using printable worksheets help young students visualize fractions.

Make it Fun

There’s no better way to keep students engaged than to make lessons fun and exciting with games. Making fractions games is quick and easy, and you can use items that you already have. An example would be using dominoes to teach students about what a numerator and denominator is.
