This book covers Fractions and will take you from learning the basic concept of a fraction, how reducing fractions work, how multiplying and dividing fractions work, how to work with fractions with unlike denominators, how to create common denominators easily, how to convert fractions to mixed numbers and back, but not how to convert fractions to decimals or decimals into fractions because this topic is only covered in the Decimals book. Each “fractions lesson” is devoted to only one type of exercise, and this math book takes you from start to finish.

In short – it will teach you
EVERYTHING there is about fractions.


You get 100 pages and 240 practice questions
and
It only takes
AT MOST 10 Hours!!!
(Including doing all the practice questions)


Q: How can it take at most 10 hours to completely master a topic that is studied repeatedly every year starting at 3 grade?


The reason is that Fractions are SIMPLE! But only if taught the right way, based on the principles I outline in the Teaching Philosophy section of the site.

Q: But I don’t need to know everything, I only want to know what the teacher teaches in class.

The answer is that it is easier to study all of it than some parts.

Q: How so? That doesn’t make sense.

The first reason is that in school, they teach you, for example, addition before they teach you multiplication. But to know addition you need to know multiplication! And it is not your teacher’s fault; it is what teachers are told to teach.

The second reason is that you don’t get “cold”. The previous sections are fresh in your mind when you start a section and that makes it easier to learn. It is like playing after a warm up or starting to play without one.

Q: Ok, so I will learn it all in 10 hours but next year I will have to learn it again, right?


Not really. The way the book is designed is to ensure long-term memory. Firstly, because it is easy to understand and what we understand we remember. Secondly, it has enough practice to make sure you REALLY know it. Thirdly, each section uses things you studied in previous sections and therefore you practice them even more.

Of course, you might need to refresh your memory. But you will have the book (or you can redownload for free) to use. And you can use that book even in COLLEGE!
