Basics of Fractions

The importance of learning fractions
We can’t escape fractions from our daily lives; we use them in almost all calculations. Fractions are a bridge between the arithmetical operations and a foundation for proportional reasoning. So having a good understanding of the concepts of fractions and the ability perform calculations using fractions gives pupils a solid foundation in learning other mathematical topics such as; ratio, proportions, decimals, percentages, probability, to name just a few.
