This is a staff forum for specific staff users to use.


This practice guide presents five recommendations intended to help educators improve students’ understanding of and problem- solving success with fractions.

Each recommendation is followed by:
• Narrative explanation,
• Summary of evidence,
• How to carry out the recommendation;
• And potential roadblocks and solutions.

The practice guide progresses from the most basic to more complex fraction ideas including ratios, rates and proportions. With examples, figures, and a glossary, it is easy to navigate and will be useful to teachers across the grades.

Please share this resource from The U.S. Department of Education- Institute of Education Sciences K-8 math resource with your colleagues, and feel free to contact us with any questions!
