Uncomplicating Fractions to Meet Common Core Standards in Math, K-7

''Finally, there is a book that helps us understand how to teach and assess student learning of fractions! Marion Small truly 'uncomplicates' fractions by providing a resource that is practical and a must have for all math coaches and every K-7 teacher.''--Ruth Harbin Miles, Board of Directors, National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, Mary Baldwin College InstructorThe Common Core State Standards for Mathematics challenges students to become mathematical thinkers, not just mathematical ''doers.'' In her new resource, professional developer Marian Small shows teachers how to uncomplicate the teaching of fractions by focusing on the most important fraction ideas that students need to grasp. The book is organized by grade level beginning with Grade 1, where the first relevant standard is found in the geometry domain, and ending with Grade 7, where the focus is on operations with rational numbers and proportional thinking.
