There are some parts I disagree with, like when they go and start defining what fraction of a person brown and black people are. You know, since it's long been amended out of there we should go ahead and delete it from the document completely. Keep it in history books not our active, living constitution!

Fractional tape is very nice, and helps limit reading mistakes. Since I work in fractions almost all the time it is just one of those little things that make life a bit easier.

Makes explaining fractions so much easier when you have a visual tool. It finally clicked with my son after using these:)

I sure would like to know how things work out--but, it's pretty clear how they got there. Those who don't understand right now will understand eventually.......

This little book is vital. Especially when it comes to working out the intricacies of some very complex rules.

Would have liked starting points and arrows but will highlight a portion eventually.

Tape measure for dummies/people who get easily confused! I bought one for home and one for work. They finally made a good, sturdy tape measure for those who get confused when reading tape measure lines. The red lines tell you what would be half of what you are measuring(center line). There are black fraction numbers that help you read the measurements between inches.

I really like this calculator, it makes fractions an easy think to deal with among other things. The only thing is that getting to understand other functions might be a little challenging!!

These are great teaching tools.  I like the way the size of each correspond correctly with the adding of the larger fractions.  On reverse it has it labeled with decimal points which you can use later for it's introduction.

Measuring is sometimes a challenge. Getting the proportions right is easier with a measuring cup than with the cup and markings provided.

This is a very good tape measure; the standard by which all others are measured.  One feature that I liked was the fractional readout on the tape.  Not only do you get inches with demarcation, but you also get "1/2", "1/4", etc. on the other end of the tape. Nice.

I think that the example in the book doesn't clearly defined on how to work the problem.  It makes it very difficult to try and work some of the assignments that we can't figure out how some of the amount came into play

Covers some ideas using Continued Fractions. It doesn't really go into depth, but it is a pretty thin book. I bought this book a few weeks ago to brush up on some of my unused math learning, and to learn some more about continued fractions. I know they can be used to expand expressions and to define stuff like the value of pi, but the author didn't really cover stuff like that. Rather than having examples, he went into the more general cases. I don't have that much experience in that kind of thing, my math stops short at the end of Calculus II, but it was pretty informative.

You can see this tack a long ways. You can use half the number

Not very precise...difficult to get a reading on where it will make its mark.

It does what it is meant to do, measure the food. However, it is difficult to see the exact measurement.

These are perfect for when I divide a recipe in half or thirds.
