Friendly Fractions Auburn University Montgomery This podcast is
part of a series on operations with fractions. Designed with the
middle school student in mind, it is a refresher on the basics

as a supplement to a lesson. A suggestion would be to stop the
lesson as it goes along and allow the students to work problems
out themselves. Content Areas: Math Alabama Course of Study
