Why do Teachers Want This Program?
Many math teachers I’ve worked with
They
In the book, Number Talks, Fractions, Decimals, and Percentages, the authors cite a study by Li and Smith (2007) that states:
-
93% of prospective middle school teachers could solve 7/9 ÷ 2/3
procedurally -
BUT only 52% could
correctly answer ‘How many 1/2s are in 2/3?’ -
They concluded that
teachers’ lack of conceptual understanding affects students’ understanding of what fraction division means .
TEACHERS ARE READY
Upper Elementary and Middle School Math Teachers Want this Program Because They:
-
are ready to help their students
develop flexible fraction thinking -
want their students to
UNDERSTAND basic fraction concepts and fraction operations -
want to spend
LESS TIME reteaching and remediating -
want their
students to feel confident and successful -
want to
be knowledgeable about their content
AVOID THIS SITUATION
Don't Be Scrambling When the Fraction Struggles Hit
Even though we want success for our students,
Or we wait until fractions
Let’s face it, fractions show up
Many of us figure we’ll
-
But what we don’t take into consideration is
how much time it takes to find THIS MUCH content ….read the books and articles, scroll through sites, and compile the strategies, methods, and materialsAND create student resources . -
You might fully intend to do the research but end up not having the time to
build the bank of information and resources you’ll need. And then you’re back to random searches, scrambling to piece together something to help you in the moment. -
If you’re like many math teachers, you want to know your content inside and out and have
as many tools in your fraction toolbox as possible.
What Teachers Say About This Fraction Operations Program
New AND veteran math teachers, instructional coaches, and special education teachers
This course covered everything from basics to complex. The speed of the course was perfect, especially since you could stop/review as needed. I appreciate the additional resources AND the ability to come back to refresh!
It really was an eye opening course. We share the same feelings when it comes to teaching fractions. We need to go through the whole experience and not just teach the tricks. I had a whole class that learned tricks and had to slow down and do quite a bit of reteaching this year. I have already recommended this course to some of our staff. I look forward to more courses. Thank you so much.
I am almost done with the program and have thoroughly enjoyed it! My two biggest take-aways were the Ladder Method and dividing fractions using the Common Denominator. I am the Middle School Math Instructional Coach for a small K-8 district and will definitely be sharing these two methods with our teachers. Thank you for this program!
This course surpassed everything I imagined! I did not understand math growing up (especially fractions!). I was an early primary teacher and when I became a sped teacher and transferred to teaching middle school RSP, I knew I had to learn upper math concepts. This course was informative and gave me visuals to help understand. The note pages to fill in and the abundance of extras (games, doodle notes, etc.) made this class totally worth it! Thank you for making math understandable and enjoyable.
I have taught and tutored math for over 20 years and there were some new insights from this training which was exactly what I was hoping for.
Most significant of all was the timely feedback I received. I asked a question on the Facebook group and within a day, not only was the question answered, but a new video was made to supplement the videos in the lesson.

The course is housed here on Thinkific, and you can complete the modules at your own pace.
Each lesson includes:
- A prerecorded video, with teaching strategies and examples
- Note-taking guides

Yes. Please email me at [email protected] so we can get the important information to your school!
Yes! Maybe you're only required to teach fraction division (as I did in 6th grade)
BUT you may end up reteaching addition, subtraction or multiplication when students encounter fractions in other contexts (like solving equations).
You may have NO fraction operation instruction in your curriculum, but still find that you need to teach them in ‘non-fraction’ contexts.
If you’re an instructional coach, this is definitely for you!
Yes! All modules will be available as soon as you enroll and you can access any lessons and resources immediately.
As long as the program exists (the lifetime of the program).
I am always available, via email or in the course discussion area on Thinkific. Other members are also available in the community here on Thinkific.
Definitely! If you’re a parent supporting a child who would benefit from supplemental work with fraction concepts (or if you’re a homeschooling parent), this program will be helpful.
Yes! When you finish the program, you’ll receive a certificate showing you completed 12 hours of online learning.
