Fraction Meaning, Equivalence, Addition, and Subtraction: April 15–May 13, 2021
Multiplication and Division with Fractions: April 15–May 13, 2021
Fractions are often one of the toughest mathematical concepts for students to learn. However, proficiency with fractions has been shown to be vital for success with more complex mathematics, such as algebra. The CORE Online Math Academy courses provide the opportunity to build your understanding of teaching and learning fractions. During these highly interactive online courses, you will gain the understanding necessary to deliver evidence-based instruction that develops mathematical proficiency with fractions. This close examination of the Number-Operations-Fraction domain will increase your expertise and confidence in leading students to a deep understanding of fractions.
You may take either course whenever they are offered. They do not need to be taken sequentially, and you are not required to take both courses, though taking both will provide you with comprehensive knowledge of all aspects of teaching fractions.
