Fractions Essentials Workbook

This book is meant to teach or refresh your ability to do fractions. It’s very easy to understand and each section begins with a very detailed explanation of how to solve math problems with fractions. The book covers adding, subtracting, multiplying, dividing and reducing fractions as well as percentages and decimals. Each lesson has practice questions that guide you through a step-by-step process of how to do fractions followed by a practice test. The book has a section that contains all of the correct answers to each practice test. The answers section not only gives you the correct answer, it also gives you a step-by-step explanation to teach you how to reach the correct answer just in case you got it wrong. I highly recommend this book.

Another great supplemental learning tool to help make fractions not seem so ominous. This book is easy to use and very helpful with fraction math.

Please note that this math book is aimed at a mature audience. There aren't any cute cartoons or anecdotes to be found here. What you get are clear and thorough explanations of the subject matter (in this case, fractions) accompanied by a good amount of practice problems.A very nice and unusual feature of this book is that most of the answers provided to the exercises are broken down in the answer key, so you're not left hanging if you get a question wrong.The author even provides you with contact information should you believe you find an error in the text - that's a first. :)So for older kids or adults who are looking for a good review of working with fractions without distractions, this is a great resource! :)

This book is good but not for younger grades. I teach grade 4 and 95 percent of this is way over that grade level.This is great for 5th and 6th through high school math.

My daughter who is in the 4th grade was struggling with fractions no matter how many times I've explained and showed her examples. So I decided to get her this book that has explanations and examples. By the time she finished this book she finally understood and now able to do fractions with no issues. Strongly recommend it for homeschooling.

A great addition to this class thank you

Homeschooling has led me to numerous workbooks, programs, even teacher created fractions lessons, but this book made understanding fractions easier than anything I’ve tried so far! I was thrilled to see Chris McMullen has books on a number of other math and science subjects and I will definitely be purchasing more books from him! Totally recommend this book!

Wow. Oh dear. Do not buy this book if you or the intended recipient have any lust for life or curiosity or even breath within them. It is especially ill suited for children so I believe the book must primarily be for adults? It begins where you'd want - with slices of pie. But instead of moving on to simple addition and subtraction of fractions with the same denominator it is already talking about reducing fractions - which require multiplication and division- on the very next page. While many skills and operations are listed as being within the book including multiplication and division of fractions, I didn't think it would be required within the first 6 pages. So the problem here is primarily that the book was ill suited to my purposes. My purposes were a great introduction to fractions for children, that built up to extensions of that foundation, and included at a similar level the related topics of decimals and percentages. It looks to be more geared toward adults who need a refresher for some results oriented reason. This informs the secondary problem I had which was its incredible dryness and wall of text layout. If I was using the book to teach a 17 year old I MIGHT be able to convince them I wasn't a sadist if my teaching was quite inspired. It is possible the explanations in the book are good but if so I wouldn't be able to tell you because I would have had to have been able to swallow them first - therefore to my mind if you can't get the message across it's irrelevant how good the message itself is. No such thing as silly end users, only bad code. Perhaps can be used as a reference book.

Enormous examples and explanations

Like the explantations and practices along with test. I have been out of school for many years and need refreshers for an upcoming exam.

This book explains everything so simply, and the amount of practice questions you get is fantastic. I've only gone through a few chapters, and have already learned (and retained) so much. Absolutely recommend this book. It's way thicker than I thought it would be too, which is great.

Apresenta uma boa sequência didática. Os alunos do 7º ano gostaram!!!

I am using this to help with my functional skills exams and it has been a massive help and I am only on Chapter 5! Amazing
