For parents and teachers

For learners who can simplify a fraction such as 12/16 to 3/4 and know their times tables. In many schools this fits children of about 11 to 13, and older learners who never met ratio can start here too. Each chapter takes one or two short sessions. A learner can work alone: every exercise has its answer and the reason for it. Each chapter also has a short page for the adult, with three questions to ask.
