Abstract Description : Did you know that fraction knowledge in grade 5 uniquely predicts students’ mathematics achievement in high school, yet fractions continue to be a weak point in education for decades? Learn how to reimagine how we teach fractions by closely examining how students think and process information. Then, review resources that use research-backed strategies so that we can fill in fraction foundation gaps. Students should be able to succeed given the right tools and supported instruction!
