Pop Quiz: Why Are Fractions Key to Future Math Success? Many school students do fine in math until they reach fourth grade. The start of fractions. Kids do just fine when they learn about addition, subtraction, multiplication and division with whole numbers, but fractions defy the laws of whole number mathematics. When you multiply fractions, they become smaller, and when you divide them it becomes bigger, something that can really confuse children. Fractions are the stepping stones of mathematics, and unless you can clearly understand fractions, it is difficult to understand algebra, geometry, and many other major mathematical and scientific concepts. Now, to fix this problem, teachers are starting to drift away from the classic cutting a pie or pizza into pieces method of teaching fractions. Now, teachers are using methods such as asking students to point out fractions on a number line, to teach them about fractions. Students are also being taught about the denominator in a fraction in third grade, so that they have an introduction to fractions from an earlier point of time. This is making young students more successful in math, and they are still able to keep their high 90-range percentage averages on tests, although they are being introduced to things such as fractions, which defy all the rules taught when using whole numbers.
