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.
