Teachers’ Notes Mathematics education encompasses a wide range of topics and concepts, many of which are only briefly dealt with in the classroom due to time constraints. It is important that these fundamental concepts are understood before students move onto the next mastery level. Students often fail to grasp all concepts and are unable to catch up to the level at which the rest of the class are working. It is here that the real difficulty for these students begins as they will sometimes withdraw from activities and miss further valuable concepts, simply because they had not mastered the prerequisite skills.

r o e t s Bo r e p ok u S

Remediation for many students is frequently associated with a reduced self esteem as students are aware that they are working behind the rest of the class, especially when text books and worksheets for lower grades are used to help them to catch up.

Teac he r

ew i ev Pr

This remediation series is designed to provide upper primary students with the necessary skills and knowledge of mathematical concepts required for their year level and can be used both in the classroom and as a "take-home" package for extra consolidation of concepts. The reading and content level is appropriate to the age of the student, even though many of the remedial activities are focused on previous stages of the maths syllabus. It is hoped that this series will boost students’ self esteem as they realise that they are able to successfully complete the maths activities in the book. In addition, students will not feel as if they are doing “baby” work as is the case when maths sheets for 8 year olds are given to 12 year old students.

For best results the series should be used to complement a remedial maths programme for a small group or for individual students who need to catch up. Many of the worksheets explain the mathematical concepts and provide examples, however, it is assumed that this is not the student's first experience with the concept. Each book in the series follows the same format and is directed at a particular age group, yet can be used in the secondary school if required.

w ww

m . u

The Challenge question at the bottom of most pages tests the child's knowledge of the mathematical concept for that particular page. The Challenge is usually presented as a word problem in a real world context so as to highlight the need for the skill. This book explains the basic concepts of fractions, including the relationship between fractions, decimals and percentages. The activities are sequenced in line with standard syllabus structures, covering a number of stages as opposed to a straight year level, and are basically designed to provide students with the opportunity to catch up on much needed mathematical skills.

Introduction to Fractions A fraction is a part of a whole. It is used to describe how much of something is left. Look at the first circle below. 6

= 6

4 4

r o e t s Bo r e p ok u S

We can say that 6⁄6 are equal to a whole. The number on top is known as the numerator and tells us how many parts we have. The bottom number is known as the denominator and tells us exactly how many parts the whole has been divided into.

In the first picture half of the pizza has been eaten. We can say that two quarters of the second pizza has been eaten. In the third picture we can see that three pieces or 3⁄6 of the pizza has been eaten. Each picture shows that half the pizza has been eaten. The only difference is that each pizza has a different number of pieces left. Write the number of pieces left as a fraction under each pizza. We can say that these three fractions are equivalent as they represent the same value. 1. Shade these equivalent fractions in the shapes below.

Fractions as Parts of a Whole Already we know that a fraction is part of a whole. For example, a cake cut into three even pieces equals one whole. Two pieces of the cake are eaten leaving only one piece left or one third. This can be represented as 3⁄3 - 2⁄3 = 1⁄3. Only a fraction of the whole cake remains.

Equivalent Fractions 3 We know that there are many ways of writing a half. For example, if a cake has been cut into four even pieces then two pieces will be equal to a half. We would write this as 2⁄4 and say that 2⁄4 = 1⁄2. We now know that there are two 1⁄4 in a 1⁄2.

Simplifying Fractions 2 We can simplify fractions in another way. By looking at the fraction chart on page 5 we can see that 6⁄8 is equivalent to 3⁄4. If we look at the fraction itself we can see that for 6⁄8 to become 3⁄4 we divide both the numerator and the denominator by 2. 6 8

2. We can divide by other numbers to simplify fractions. Write simplified fractions for these:

Sometimes it is possible to divide the numerator into the denominator to simplify a fraction. For example, with 3⁄9 we have 3 as the numerator and 9 as the denominator. We know that 3 goes into 9 exactly three times and we can simplify the fraction to 1⁄3 because 3 goes into 3 once and into 9 three times. 3. Use this method to simplify the fractions below.

Decimal Introduction We know that a fraction represents part of a whole. A decimal is a number where a decimal point seperates the whole number and the fraction. For example, 13⁄10 = 1.3

⁄100 = 0.25

In the above example the 3 represents the three tenths.

Percentages 1 So far we know that decimals and fractions can be used to represent the same amount. A percentage is another way of expressing a part of a whole. Per means ‘for every’ and cent means ‘100’ so it is easy to remember that percent means ‘for every 100’. For example, if we had 100 students playing on the school sports field and 56 of them were girls, we could say that 56 percent (56 out of 100) of the students playing are girls. 1. We use the symbol % to express percentage. Name three everyday places where you might see this symbol.
