Bato, Napo, Bhinn Batlao: Concepts in Fractions

Film on teaching & learning Some Concepts in Fractions

Fractions The teaching of fractions has been a subject of great debate and concern over the last several decades. This six part film is a culmination of a three year longitudinal study conducted by Eklavya in the teaching and learning of fractions at the Raipur Government Girls Primary School, Hoshangabad District, Madhya Pradesh. It offers a curricular alternative that radically departs from the standard practice of introducing fractions as a part of a whole. The study draws on the Realistic Approach to Mathematics Education, that believes in creating appropriate 'model situations' to facilitate conceptual understanding.Fractions The teaching of fractions has been a subject of great debate and concern over the last several decades.
