This math workbook from the Dr. Pi Squared Math Workbooks series
aims to teach what a fraction is and help kids visualize fractions.
It is designed for kids who are just learning about fractions. The
problems consist of colorful pictures from which kids are to
determine fractions. The book begins with circles cut into pie
slices, from halves to twelfths. The students need to determine
what fraction of each pie is blue, yellow, and red. For example, if
a pie is divided into fourths, two of which are blue, one yellow,
and the other red, the student would answer one-half, one-fourth,
and one-fourth. After ample practice with pie slices, the workbook
moves onto triangles, squares, and hexagons. A couple of pages
include groups of circles where kids need to determine fractions
greater than one - for example, two and a half circles might be
colored green. Other visual fraction problems include rectangles,
smiley faces, arrows, letters, and numbers. Toward the end of the
workbook, some questions ask about more than just colors - like
what fraction of the arrows point up, or what fraction of the
letters are vowels. Answers are nicely organized by page number in
the back of the book to allow students, parents, or teachers to
quickly check the answers. There is ample workspace for students to
write large answers and still fit their solutions comfortably into
the space provided. The problems appear in a large font size, since
students usually write larger than standard textbook fonts.
High-quality, durable, bright paper is used (instead of standard
workbook paper, which often tears easily and appears dull in
color).
