Uncomplicating Fractions to Meet Common Core Standards in Math, K-7 (0) Paperback November 29, 2013

by Marian Small

The Common Core State Standards for Mathematics challenges students to become mathematical thinkers, not just mathematical doers. In her new resource, professional developer Marian Small shows teachers how to uncomplicate the teaching of fractions by focusing on the most important fraction ideas that students need to grasp. The book is organized by grade level beginning with Grade 1, where the first relevant standard is found in the geometry domain, and ending with Grade 7, where the focus is on operations with rational numbers and proportional thinking.

The book is a good resource for teaching.
I do wish it was longer, more models, and maybe a CD or DVD that explains some of the models and shows teaching of them. I often spent a lot of the time in the book thinking about how I could implement the models and teach them well.
I read up to 5th grade. I definitely will be using this in the future!

Pretty good resource. I read all the way up to 6th grade and it is important to see how the standards build. Some of it seemed very rushed and I was hoping for more models.
