If You Were a Fraction, by Trisha Sue Speed Shaskan, is a book that teaches students about the basics of fractions. What I liked about the book are the illustrations it used to show the fractions, as I think it would be a great tool for visual learners. I do however think this book is more suited towards students who are barely being introduced about what fractions are, so this would not work in middle school classroom but definitely in the younger grades. I think this would be a great resource for students to use but not to teach a lesson based on it. ( ) If You Were a Fraction has good bones, but the wording of some of the statements seem a little fuzzy. Some things that are stated could confuse students who are learning about fractions. This book could be used when first introducing fractions to students. As students knowledge of fractions increase, this book could confuse them. In the book Shaskan writes "If you were a fraction, you would be one or more equal parts of a whole." Which yes, this is correct, but there is more to fractions than just being an equal or part of a whole. For instance, improper fractions. I don't think this book is bad for introducing students to fractions, but this book might confuse students who are learning more in depth about fractions. This book unpacks fractions down to their simplest form using real world examples; this is good for fraction beginners. I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars. There is not really a story line to this book, and there is nothing wrong with that. Having examples about real world objects help kids see where fractions come from. I recommend this book for my content area because even if a student really did not understand the math due to a language barrier, the numerical representation is perfect for assisting that. This is a good learning tool to introduce fractions, but not to completely teach it because it only covers the basic fractions. However, I believe that the story is a great way to gauge their interest in learning about fractions. This is great for all elementary grade levels, but can also be used for remediation. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
