It includes a range of field-tested tasks (grades 3-10) that have proven to be effective in Ontario schools.Created by Dr. Cathy Bruce, Tara Flynn and Shelley Yearley. Fractions Learning Pathways are inspired by Dr. Jere Confrey’s work, based on international and Ontario classroom research, and informed by feedback from classroom teachers and student thinking.
