Fantastic math site engages kids through problem solving.
Visual images are powerful tools. Research suggests that there are parts of our brain that thinks about finger patterns when we do calculations. Providing images for students to think about when they are doing complex math can help them better hold the math in their heads. Visual images and models are essential in helping students to build their own conceptual understanding of important math concepts. Images also help create context, beauty, and enjoyment in the math that students are doing.
Simple visuals that foster creative thinking around fractions.
