Do you need help with fractions?

These two inexpensive worktexts just might help! They both explain fraction operations with a visual model of a pie, and let you practice sufficiently with picture exercises so you will understand the concepts. Fraction math is full of all kinds of rules, which are easily forgotten. Students fare so much better if they can learn to visualize these "pie pieces" in their minds while doing easy, mental fraction operations - and then the rules will start making sense.

Ebook Fractions 1 Math Mammoth Fractions 1 $4.50
A self-teaching printable worktext that teaches fractions and their operations with visual models. You don't need to just memorize fraction rules blindly - learn and understand! The book covers fractions, mixed numbers, equivalent fractions, adding and subtracting like fractions and unlike fractions, adding and subtracting mixed numbers, comparing fractions, and finding a fractional part of a group.

Math Mammoth Fractions 2 ebook Math Mammoth Fractions 2 worktext $5.00.
A self-teaching printable worktext that teaches fractions and their operations with visual models, the sequel to Math Mammoth Fractions 1. Covers simplifying fractions, multiplication and division of fractions and mixed numbers, converting fractions to decimals, and ratios and fractions.

See also my article explaining why fractions are difficult to learn, and a list of online fraction learning games.

In this video I show you a visual method for equivalent fractions: that of splitting the pieces further into a certain number of new pieces.
