Funny Fabulous Fraction Stories 30 Reproducible Math Tales and Problems to Reinforce Important Fraction Skills - Grades 3-6 Author:Dan Greenberg Fractions are a tricky topic. Neither completely concrete or abstract, they mark the transition in math from the purely representational to the purely symbolic. Because of this, many students find fractions difficult to learn -- and many teachers find them difficult to teach. — This book seeks to make fractions more accessible to both stude... more »nts and teachers by introducing an element of fun. The stories, poems, plays, and parodies contained in these pages are designed to entertain your students and at the same time to give them a solid grasp of important fractional concepts. The characters and situations in each activity will help students apply the concepts they learn to real-life situations -- a key element of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics' Curriculum Standards.

students of all achievement levels
