Fraction Face-Off

Program Description:

Fraction Face-Off! (FFO!) is a small-group systematic, structured tutoring program designed to promote knowledge of fractions to 4th grade students. FFO! emphasizes the three domains listed below:

  • Understanding fraction magnitude, including comparing, ordering, and placing fractions on number lines, and fraction equivalencies;
  • Fraction calculations, including an understanding of the operations and executing the operations;
  • Fraction word problems to contextualize fractions as numbers in everyday contexts and strengthen fraction magnitude understanding.
