Fractions stand out as one of the most challenging aspects of mathematics in education. As an educator, I acknowledge that numerous students grapple with gaps in their comprehension of fractions, hindering their ability to fully grasp the associated concepts and problem-solving procedures. Drawing from my personal struggles with fractions during my youth, I've recognized that these challenges often stem from conceptual barriers. In response to this, I have developed a specialized class aimed at supporting students who share the frustrations I experienced in my early years. This ongoing series focuses on addressing the key difficulties students encounter with fractions. The approach incorporates engaging and interactive presentations, utilizing popular gaming and movie themes such as Fortnite and Minecraft to make learning more captivating. Through this innovative teaching method, I aim to foster a deeper understanding of fractions and transform the learning experience for students. Skills practiced in this class: 1.
