MY EXAM

Mathematics is a subject that must be learned by every individual. Mathematical concepts are very important in interacting with people, especially those who are in the market. Considering the need to learn, every individual must master these mathematical concepts, especially the "basics". Fractions is learned since elementary, but sad to know that only few students mastered these concepts when they entered secondary education. A high school teacher must solve this problem because this could be a hindrance in learning higher mathematical concepts. The following can be used to master the concepts about "Fractions":
Instructional game/Simulation
Fraction Cafe (All Mixed Up) of FactMonster can be classified as an instructional game or a simulation. It allows students to serve the ordered pizza of a customer. For each level, a student will first serve the ordered pizza, then after the customer had eaten the pizza, he'll find out what part of pizza is left on the table (that is in the form of improper fraction). A student will then convert the improper fraction to a mixed number. It is designed to help students learn fractions, and the conversion of improper fractions to mixed numbers through acting as a real maker of pizza.

Tutorial
Math Basics (of GCF LearnFree.org) is designed to help students, especially those who are academically low, learn at their own pace. It helps a student to practise basic mathematics, like "fractions", gives a student useful tips to make learning math easier, and lets a student practise his/her new skills. Aside from fraction, Math Basics, from the term itself, also offers other basic math lessons.
