Now with new standards, the emphasis on fractions is even greater than before.
Students are expected to master fractions sooner than ever, and Excel Math is here to help!
In Excel Math lessons, fractions are introduced in clear and concise language, starting with Grade 1 and continuing in complexity through Grade 6.
See an example of an Excel Math lesson on fractions above.
Following the brief lesson, students are given a chance to work with fractions while the teacher is nearby, ready to help those who need assistance. Fractions on a number line are now introduced to give students a visual image of how fractions are ordered.

After two weeks of practice, fractions are included as homework. A week or two later, fractions finally show up on the weekly test. By this time, students are very familiar with fractions.
