Fractions and Whole Numbers Go in Different Directions

This book effectively,efficient and attractively illustrates the inverse relation between common fractions and whole numbers (integers) through the use of 2 tables. One of the tables is the traditional times or multiples table. The other table is equivalent in terms of the size and arrangement of the values. It assumes the same function as a tool in facilitating the enhancement of numeracy, thus building a sure foundation for the development of mathematical skills.

The concepts that are presented in this book may appear strange to some persons who may even be mathematically inclined. The tradition of children being taught to count with, or sequence whole numbers, only, is as strong now as it may have been 100 years ago.

Although, this book is mainly for juniors, it can be used to as a remedial tool for non-juniors. Many adults have an aversion to Mathematics, in general, and to using these fractions, in particular. It is eagerly anticipated that these concepts will be quickly propagated throughout the English speaking world and contribute significantly to the attitude towards, and performance in Mathematics.
