Written in a user-friendly, conversational style, the fourth
edition of this groundbreaking text helps pre-service and
in-service mathematics teachers build the comfort and confidence
they need to begin talking to children about fractions and ratios,
distilling complex ideas and translating research into usable ideas
for the classroom. For two decades, Teaching Fractions and Ratios
for Understanding has pushed readers beyond the limits of their
current understanding of fractions and rational numbers,
challenging them to refine and explain their thinking without
falling back on rules and procedures they have relied on throughout
their lives. All of the material offered in the book has been used
with students, and is presented so that readers can see the
brilliance of their insights as well as the issues that challenge
their understanding. Each chapter includes children's strategies
and samples of student work for teacher analysis, as well as
activities for practicing each thinking strategy, designed to be
solved without rules or algorithms, using reasoning alone. The
fourth edition of this popular text has been updated throughout and
includes new examples of student work, updated artwork, and more.
As with previous editions, an equally valuable component of this
text is the companion book MORE! Teaching Fractions and Ratios for
Understanding (2012), a supplement that is not merely an answer key
but a resource that provides the scaffolding for the groundbreaking
approach to fraction and ratio instruction explored here. MORE!
includes in-depth discussions of selected problems in the main
text, supplementary activities, Praxis preparation questions, more
student work, and templates for key manipulatives.
