Master fractions from what is a fraction to operations—adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing—while learning to reduce to lowest terms, convert improper fractions and mixed numbers, and practice with quizzes.
Explore what a fraction is, how equal parts define fractions, and how to identify numerator and denominator. See pizza, rectangles, and real-world examples illustrating these concepts.
Explore key fraction terms, including whole numbers, numerator and denominator, fractions, mixed numbers, reciprocals, and improper fractions, with guidance on practice and reducing to lowest terms.
Learn to reduce fractions to lowest terms by dividing numerator and denominator by a common factor, yielding equivalent fractions such as 6/8 to 3/4 and 3/12 to 1/4.
Master scribble videos on reducing fractions to lowest terms through quick divisibility checks and step-by-step examples, such as 135/270 simplifying to 1/2 and 168/232 to 21/29.
Raise fractions to higher terms by multiplying numerator and denominator by the same number to get equivalent fractions, with examples like 1/2 = 4/8 and 2/3 to 6/9.
Learn how to find the lowest common denominator for fractions, using multiples, the larger-denominator method, and quick tricks for consecutive denominators, to add, subtract, and compare fractions.
Learn to find the lowest common denominator and adjust numerators to form equivalent fractions, like 2/3 and 5/8 becoming 16/24 and 15/24, enabling operations.
Learn how to find common denominators and the lowest common denominator for fractions, create equivalent fractions, and prepare them for adding, subtracting, and comparing multiple fractions.
Explore improper fractions and convert them to whole and mixed numbers by dividing the numerator by the denominator, using diagrams and word problems like 9/4 equals 2 1/4.
Explore improper fractions and learn to convert them to whole numbers or mixed numbers using division, with steps to find remainders and reduce to lowest terms.
Master converting mixed numbers to improper fractions and back, using whole numbers and denominators, and practice word problems for adding fractions with like denominators.
Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions, and revert improper fractions to mixed numbers by division, with examples like 2 1/3 to 7/3 and 5 3/8 to 43/8.
Master adding fractions with like denominators by adding the numerators, keeping the denominator, and simplifying to lowest terms or converting to mixed numbers.
Master adding fractions with different denominators by finding the least common denominator, converting to equivalent fractions, and converting improper results to mixed numbers.
Provide a correction for the next scribble lecture, clarifying that 2/12 plus 1/9 equals 5/18 and that 10/36 simplifies to 5/18, not 5/12.
Learn to add fractions with different denominators by finding a common denominator, multiply numerators, and sum, then simplifying to mixed numbers or improper fractions in lowest terms.
Subtract fractions with like denominators by subtracting numerators and keeping the denominator, then simplify to lowest terms; the lecture uses 7/8 minus 2/8 and a pants inseam word problem.
Learn to subtract fractions with different denominators by finding a common denominator, then subtract numerators, handle mixed numbers, and borrow when needed.
Learn to subtract mixed numbers by borrowing from the whole part, establish a common denominator, convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions, and compute the final result.
Learn how to multiply fractions using three steps—multiply numerators and denominators, then simplify to lowest terms—practice with real examples and reinforce skills with quizzes.
Learn to multiply fractions using canceling: multiply numerators, multiply denominators, then simplify to lowest terms by spotting common factors across numerators and denominators.
Multiply fractions and mixed numbers by converting to improper fractions, then multiply and simplify, using cancellation to reduce terms, with step-by-step examples and preparation for dividing fractions.
Use cancellation to multiply fractions by reducing top and bottom with common factors, then multiply remaining numbers to get final result, as shown by 4/10 × 5/6 = 1/3.
Master dividing fractions by using the reciprocal and multiplying, with steps for flipping the divisor, simplifying improper fractions, and applying to word problems and mixed numbers.
Learn to divide fractions and mixed numbers by converting to improper fractions, using reciprocals, and canceling terms, with real-world word problems on walking pace and park tours.
Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction and divide by seven eighths by multiplying by the reciprocal. Cancel common factors and simplify to the final answer, 14.

Do you have difficulties with fractions? Does your child panic when faced with fractions?
Fractions (and math in general) does create grief for many people.
Here is the solution!
The Complete Fractions Course teaches students how to handle fractions in a variety of settings and operations. The goal is to help students overcome any fear they may have when faced with a fraction in mathematics.
The lessons are designed to walk students step-by-step through each exercise and operation. They provide ample opportunity to practice within the lectures in addition to the numerous quizzes.
There are "scribble" lectures that show how to work-out problems with pencil and paper - revealing even more precisely the steps required.
Fractions are studied as independent units; however, they occur in geometry, algebra, ratios & proportion - and many other math arenas. Knowing what to do when faced with a fraction is essential at school.
Of course, fractions are used on the job and at home as well, so this course is useful for anyone who wishes to know more about what fractions are and how to work with them.
