Basics of Fractions

The importance of learning fractions

We can’t escape fractions from our daily lives; we use them in budgeting, cooking, travelling, etc. Fractions are a bridge between the arithmetical   operations and a foundation for proportional reasoning. So having a good understanding and knowledge of fractions adds to the repertoire of tools for pupils learning other mathematical topics such as decimals, perimeter, area, percentages, probability, etc.
