Description
Monica Neagoy challenges the traditional approach to teaching fractions, arguing that a mechanical method of instruction can lead to a lack of understanding. Drawing on decades of research and her own experience, she presents seven key ideas for teaching fractions in grades 2-6, supported by real classroom examples, common misconceptions, and thought-provoking problems.
Neagoy highlights three fundamental reasons why it's essential to rethink how we teach fractions: they play a crucial role in students' attitudes towards mathematics, are fundamental to school math and daily life, and are foundational to success in algebra. By providing concrete strategies, she aims to help all students gain a solid understanding of fractions, enabling them to feel at ease with this essential mathematical concept.
