Making Sense of Fractions, Ratios, and Proportions: 2002 Yearbook

---

"Excellent resource for mathematics educators! For the first time ever, an NCTM yearbook with a supplementary booklet that provides activities for teachers to use in their classrooms. A two-in-one package filled with information and ready-to-use materials.

Emphasizes that fractions, ratios, and proportions are pivotal concepts in the middle school but that their development and understandings begin in the elementary school. Shows the importance of proportional reasoning as a foundation of many applications of mathematics to real life and as an essential ele-ment of more sophisticated mathematics (e.g., algebra). Also features a professional development section.

The companion booklet presents activities that illustrate some of the ideas in the yearbook as well as activities that go beyond the content of the yearbook itself. Valuable material with teachers' notes, complete with handouts for use directly with students all designed to bring the yearbook to life in the classroom."
