    Have you ever uttered the words, I am not good at fractions or have a fear when a teacher talks about fractions? Then this is the summer course for you. We will dive deep into the world of part-to-whole by strengthening your understanding of fractional concepts in a hands-on project-based learning way. This course will encourage students to learn from their mistakes, play with numbers, and fully experience the concepts of fractions, in a pressure-free setting.
