Goals and Objectives

The goal of this website is to help students in using fractions. These web pages are best suited for junior high students (grades 6 - 8). Some students seem to have difficult times when it comes to adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing fractions. Hopefully the web pages that are designed for students can be used to increase their knowledge.

The pages are also aligned with the Indiana Department of Education Standards of Academic Learning. Below is a list of some correlations:
