We know that a great deal of math homework horror stories often contain a common underlying theme of fractions. For students, fractions seem so easy at first when all that you have to do is count shaded and unshaded parts of a shape. However, if a solid foundation in fraction sense is not established and maintained throughout the later elementary years, disaster can and will strike at your very own dining room table as your student frantically tries to complete their homework or study for a test. 

We want to provide you with a solution to help you and your student understand and master fractions. We decided to go deeper on the most significant and challenging fraction concepts for each grade level 3rd-6th. That is just what you will find in this guide: guidance, explanations and step by step directions to help you and your student solve the most important and/or difficult to master fraction skills for their grade level.
