This is a great article about teaching fractions! A must read for addition, subtraction and division of fractions!  Yahoo!  Definitely use pattern blocks.  Do these types of lessons in guided math groups so that students can talk through the math they are doing.  Also, have them explore fractions with pattern blocks in math centers.

Happy Mathing,
