Through its Innovative Curriculum, Conceptua® Math Can Help Educators Teach Fractions Effectively

Aug. 21, 2011 - PRLog -- Conceptua Math can help educators learn a more effective way for their students to master fractions through Conceptua® Fractions. With 70 years of cumulative experience in the subject, the team of educators and curriculum software developers created a program that focuses on how to teach fractions using simple, visual models and exercises for both home-schooling and teacher-facilitated classroom instruction.

The system deals with a number of topics that range from basic operations to word problems. Examples of some topics include: identifying equivalent fractions, adding fractions, subtracting fractions, and ordering fractions. Multiplication of fractions and division of fractions will be launched by Conceptua Math in the fall of 2011.

Conceptua® Fractions uses flexible, interactive models that help students build conceptual understanding and procedural fluency of fractions. Mastering fractions can enable students to better understand more complex mathematical concepts, and develop students' analytical abilities and sophisticated reasoning.  While understanding fractions is foundational to higher math, it is also foundational for applications in everyday life.

From concrete to abstract representations, Conceptua® Fractions can help teachers guide their students to deep understanding. The curriculum was designed with consultation from leaders in the Common Core Standards movement, and follows a concrete-to-representational-to-abstract methodology.
