Too often, students learn fraction operations by memorizing rules without truly understanding the “why” behind them. This session will take educators beyond algorithms to explore the deep conceptual foundations of adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing fractions. Through visual models, hands-on activities, and real-world problem-solving, teachers will gain strategies to help students build lasting fraction sense. Join us to transform the way you teach fraction operations—moving from rote procedures to meaningful understanding!
