How can strong fraction sense help students understand ratios, proportions, and percentages? It starts with equivalence, comparison, and computation.
In this teacher workshop, Greg Tang demonstrates how visual models and mathematical reasoning help students move beyond memorized rules. Learn how to use bar models, double number lines, benchmarks, and proportional thinking to make challenging fraction, ratio, and percent problems easier to understand.
Topics include:
• Building equivalent fraction understanding
• Comparing fractions through reasoning
• Using benchmarks to estimate
• Connecting fractions, ratios, and percentages
• Solving proportions with double number lines
• Transitioning from bar models to abstract thinking
• Developing flexible and efficient problem-solving strategies
The goal is to help students understand how quantities are related so they can reason confidently, choose effective strategies, and make sense of increasingly complex math.
