open Background Essay

For many adult students, fractions, decimals, and percents can be difficult to understand. Often, students will state that they can "do" one or two of these representations, but that they are no good at the others. One possible remedy to the common misconception that fractions, decimals, and percents are more different than alike is to introduce the relationships first, then work with the skills and other concepts necessary for mastery.
