Fractions underpin the development of proportional reasoning and are important for success in algebra and probability, but they can be difficult to teach and learn. We will explore strategies for teaching conceptual understanding of fractions, decimals, and percents. It doesn't take a "Wizard" to teach fractions, just a brain, heart, and courage!
