-
In this unit we shall see how to add and subtract fractions. We shall also see
how to add and subtract mixed fractions by turning them into improper
fractions.
-
What are fractions? Fractions are ways of writing parts of whole numbers. For
example if we take a pizza, and divide it up equally between 4 people, each
person will have 1/4 or, written in words, one quarter of the pizza.
-
In this unit we shall see how to multiply fractions. We shall also see how to
divide fractions by turning the second fraction upside down.

A transcript of each video should be available in the Teach Yourself section above.
These videos require Windows Media Player (v10).
Please note: You may experience trouble with more recent upgrades to Internet Explorer (now v.7) and Media Player (now v.11). These no longer support streaming from the mms servers used by mathcentre, so we are recommending that you uninstall IE7 (IE6 lies underneath) and replace the new version of WMP with the fully functioning v.10 (you may need to find a download via google after uninstalling v.11). All those that have done this have reported back that everything is working again.
