You
may also view more information about the different components
of the program on the Programs
page. Because of how my shopping cart is programmed, you must
to through the Programs page, and
scroll down to the particular component you wish to view.
On this page, I have included additional information about
the individual components.
There
are 4 sections in the program, and the sections have several
components.
Recognizing Fractions - 3 components
Denominators
Numerators and Denominators
Parts of a group
Equivalent
Fractions - 6 components
Equivalent Fractions (step by step)
Equivalent Fractions (without steps)
Reduce to Lowest Terms (step by step)
Reduce to Lowest Terms (without steps)
Improper Fractions to Mixed Numbers (step by step)

Add
and Subtract Fractions - 6 components
Add Like Denominators
Add Unlike Denominators
Add Mixed Numbers
Subtract Like Denominators
Subtract Unlike Denominators

Multiply
and Divide Fractions - 4 components

Multiply Mixed Numbers
Divide Proper Fractions
Divide Mixed Numbers
I have started with fraction concepts and continue through
addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of fractions
and mixed numbers.
Introduction movies give instruction. Interactive practice
guides students as they practice their skills.
Throughout the program, students must complete a step successfully
before proceeding to the next step.
I often became frustrated when I taught in the classroom and
tried to guide a group of students through the steps for a
particular skill, in proper order.
It is important to perform a step correctly before advancing
to the next step, but I could not watch 20 or more students
simultaneously.
When students perform pencil and paper steps out of order,
or skip steps, or move to the next step when the previous
one was done incorrectly (reaching inaccurate results), it
becomes harder to teach a skill correctly. But I could not
always stop a student before a skill had been practiced incorrectly.
I wrote this program to guarantee student success. Students
may use the program independently, but they CANNOT
proceed to the next step until the current task is performed
correctly.
Help is given whenever an incorrect response is entered.
Throughout the program, I have used illustrations and a unique
color scheme to help students build an intuitive understanding
of the concepts that are taught in this program package.
