Numbers Direct - Entry Level (Workbooks) (Fractions Stage 2)
A recent survey carried found that one in three British adults found working with fractions difficult [1]. Yet at work and at home fractions are part of everyday life, so it’s important that you understand what they mean and what they tell you.
Numbers Direct – Fractions Stage 2 explains what fractions are in simple language – they’re just different ways of talking about parts of something. The course begins by explaining what a half is and uses photographs and graphics to help you practise using halves in everyday situations. You’ll also learn about quarters and, by the time you’ve finished the course and completed the practice exercises, you’ll be really confident about understanding and using basic fractions
