So as I just finished up working on some fraction problems I thought to myself I wonder if I am the only one who does NOT like fractions. I have a sister who loves them, in fact when she was taking a math class her favorite sections were the ones with fractions! I have always just struggled with remembering what to do.
For me I am a very visual learner, I am sure i have said that on this blog a million times! :) But it's true, some people just need to see a picture, and it will all come to them. When I was younger, no matter what the situation was my mom would say, "Lets draw a picture". I hated those words when I was younger, even to this day I go, "UGHHHH" when she says that. But that must be where I get my visual mind form!
When I'm struggling with a topic my first place to go besides the book for examples is for sure youtube! It's like having a teacher in front of you teaching an example of exactly what to do. When I was in math in high school I was a pro I felt like. If my teacher would do a problem on the board and talk through the problem of why she's doing it that way I could take a test on in that day. To me when someone goes over exactly how to do the problem it makes such a difference in comprehending it!
The video below is all I would have needed if I was struggling with a similar problem:
