Conceptua Math Makes Teaching Fractions Easier for Educators and Home-schooling Parents

Nov. 8, 2011 - PRLog -- Through its innovative online math software and learning curriculum, Conceptua Math provides educators, and parents of homeschool kids an effective method for teaching fractions and helping students gain a deeper understanding of fractions and the underlying concepts.

Conceptua® Fractions utilizes simple, visual models and exercises for both homeschool and teacher-facilitated classroom instruction to help students build conceptual understanding and procedural fluency with fractions. Learning fractions can enable students to better understand more complex mathematical concepts, and develop students' analytical and reasoning abilities.

The system covers a full range of subjects across varying levels of difficulty, including adding fractions, multiplying fractions, and equivalent fractions. Other operations such as converting mixed numbers to improper fractions and multiplication of fractions are also included in the online math software.

Designed with consultation from leaders in the Common Core Standards movement, Conceptua® Fractions follows a concrete-to-representational-to-abstract methodology.  Students start by manipulating interactive models to build a conceptual understanding of fractions. This is followed by the addition of fraction notation to the models. Equations are built gradually, until finally the models are removed, and students practice their skills on fraction procedures.
