Fractions: Booklet 1
Fractions: Booklet 1
Fractions: Booklet 1 – Basic Concepts from Pattern Press is a hands-on math curriculum resource designed to help students build a strong conceptual foundation in fractions through manipulatives, games, visual models, and discovery-based learning.
This complete booklet set includes a 49-page Parent/Teacher Guide and a 69-page Student Workbook that introduce students to fractions through concrete exploration and meaningful mathematical experiences. Rather than memorizing fraction rules, students develop true understanding by working with manipulatives, creating their own fraction books, exploring number lines, and discovering patterns in fractional relationships.
Developed through the world renowned UCI Farm School approach, this curriculum teaches fractions conceptually through active learning, discussion, and visual exploration. Students investigate what fractions represent, how to read and write fraction notation, how wholes can change, and how equivalent fractions work through hands-on mathematical thinking.
The Parent/Teacher Guide includes teaching instructions, sample dialogues, games, lesson support, and the Answer Key. The Student Workbook includes worksheets and practice pages designed to reinforce understanding through visual and tactile learning.
