$Teaching Fractions Toolkit: Engaging Students in Fractions Learning (REL Midwest) This video from REL Midwest’s Teaching Fractions Toolkit illustrates key ideas about student learning from the Developing Effective Fractions Instruction for Kindergarten Through 8th Grade What Works Clearinghouse practice guide. The video shows how visual representations help students communicate their thinking by representing ideas and quantities found in fraction computation problems while also serving as a tool to estimate and check the reasonableness of solutions. It also highlights possible misunderstandings and roadblocks that students may encounter as they develop their understanding.
