"Fraction concepts" refers to understanding and working with parts or amounts that are smaller than a whole. It involves learning about fractions, such as ½ or ¾, which represent portions of a whole object or number.

Encourage students to apply their knowledge
of fraction concepts through problem - solving and word problems.
Three play food pizzas that are great for younger children to sort and serve, and older children can begin to
learn fraction concepts.
This task promotes deep reasoning about grade -
level fraction concepts, and students engage in the task appropriately.
Five studies examine how interacting with the physical environment can support the development
of fraction concepts.
Tables 3 and 4 provide the summary of ANCOVA comparing the mean scores of the students»
fraction concepts in experimental and control groups with respect to post-FKT scores for procedural knowledge and conceptual knowledge responses, respectively.
Other useful manipulatives that can be used in math centers to
develop fraction concepts and skills include dominoes, fraction cards and fraction dice.
What is the difference in students» procedural knowledge in eight areas of
fraction concepts on posttest scores in the experimental and control groups?

Sometimes you can spend too much time
teaching fraction concepts, like «simplify,» «find the common denominators,» «use the four operations,» that we often forget the value of word problems.
Students develop an understanding of angle as rotation and make use
of fraction concepts and computation methods to solve problems involving the decomposition and composition of angles.
Snap these cubes together to work out abstract decimal, percentage, and
fraction concepts.
Lots of researchers argue that having a clear understanding of basic (and more complex)
fraction concepts is the foundation for learning algebra and algebraic equations... further maths.

Fraction Concepts (PDF).
These games suit consolidation activities for my Fraction Books: Fraction Fun 1 (halves, quarters, eighths)- Year 1 and Year 2
fraction concepts Fraction Fun 2 (thirds, sixths, ninths, twelfths)- Year 3 fraction concepts Catch - Up, Keep - Up Fractions and Decimals - Intervention Program (Years 1 to 5) The range of skills addressed in this bundle means you can easily differentiate and use them in a Maths Centre or in RTI, like I do.

fraction concepts; multiplication and division strategies; multiplication and division of whole numbers; modeling, comparing, and ordering fractions; and fraction and decimal relationships.
The results indicated that when the preservice teachers instructed with Web - based resources related to
fraction concepts, it constituted an effective method in providing students with an opportunity to promote both their procedural and conceptual understandings.
For research question 4, ANOVA was used to identify students» conceptual knowledge of eight areas of
fraction concepts, and whether or not there was a significant difference on posttest results between the experimental and control group students» conceptual understanding.
The main difference between the two instructional methods was that students in the experimental group were instructed with Web - based resources related to
fraction concepts, while students in the control group received the same information as the experimental group with traditional instruction.
Therefore, if solid mathematical content knowledge leads to effective mathematics instruction, this current study suggests that WBI can lead to the needed mathematical content knowledge for effective teaching of
fraction concepts.
The students in the experimental group, who were taught with WBI, demonstrated better performance in
fraction concepts than did the control group students, who received traditional instruction.
For research questions 2, an analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to identify students» procedural knowledge in areas of
fraction concepts and whether there was a significant difference on posttest results between the experimental and control group students» correct answers.
