An easy, straightforward, and fun guide for learning fractions and its counterparts

Fractions For Dummies is the perfect strategy guide for both understanding and using one of maths' most common (and most challenging) topic areas. You'll explore current solving strategies for fraction-related problems, and you'll also discover how to solve problems involving fractions' closely related cousins, decimals and percentages. Dive deep into the basics of these topics before moving on to more advanced uses, such as word problems, with the help of author and experienced maths teacher Mark Zegarelli.

This straightforward and intuitive book also includes:

  • Techniques for working with mixed numbers (numbers that include whole amounts and fractions) and more
  • Ways to add, subtract, multiply, and divide fractions with whole numbers and with each other
  • Strategies for helping and supporting the young student in your life who's struggling with fractions, decimals, and/or percentages

It's time you showed these maths areas who's boss. Fractions For Dummies shows you just how easy fractions and the like can be!
