Fractions That Make Sense

This self-paced online course takes a child from the very first question – “What is ½” – all the way to dividing by fractions, with understanding at every step.

Fractions are usually taught as a list of rules to memorize: “find the common denominator,” “just flip the second fraction.” Rules learned that way get mixed up, and children quietly conclude they are “bad at fractions.” In this course, your child earns every rule before receiving it. Take division: your child first counts how many half-cakes fit into three cakes and sees with their own eyes that 3 ÷ ½ = 6. Only then does the “flip” rule arrive: a shortcut for something they already understand. 

Practice without grades

The quizzes are practice tools, not graded tests. Children receive immediate feedback and an explanation for each answer. They may repeat every quiz as many times as they need.

In the final lesson, a 20-question review — name it, place it, compare it, and calculate it — allows children to see how much faster and more confident they have become.

Children are not ranked or compared with anyone else.

Founding Family Discount: The course will be offered at a discounted price for the first two weeks.

Optional personal feedback

The standard course is complete on its own.

Families may also choose the course with mission review. With this option, your child submits the creative missions in the add-on course, and Ms. Anna personally responds to each one with written feedback about the child’s work and thinking: what they did well, what they almost understood, and the next step to try.

The review option is for one child and remains available for six months after enrolment.

What Will You Learn?

  • The student will learn to:
  • see a fraction three ways — as part of a whole, part of a set, and a point on a number line;
  • recognize that one number has many names — ½, 2/4, 6/12 — and choose the simplest;
  • compare fractions and place them on a number line;
  • add and subtract fractions [confirm if mixed numbers and improper fractions are covered — if so: "including mixed numbers and improper fractions"];
  • multiply fractions and understand why "of" means multiplication;
  • divide by fractions — first by counting how many pieces fit, and only then by the "flip" rule;
  • avoid the four classic fraction traps — for example, why a larger denominator does not mean a larger piece;
  • estimate before calculating, and choose the right operation in a word problem when no operation sign is given.
