Painless Fractions

This book shows students how to play many different fascinating numbers games, such as "Dazzling Division " of fractions, which makes numbers grow "larger" when they are divided! "Painless Fractions " is filled with intriguing "Brain Ticklers" and complemented with humorous illustrations. Titles in Barron's extensive "Painless Series " cover most subjects taught on middle school and high school levels, and are written for students who find the subjects unusually difficult and confusing--or in some cases, just plain boring. "Painless Series " authors, all of them experienced educators, are experts at clearing up aspects of their subjects that students are likely to find confusing. These books also perk up students' interest by emphasizing the attention-catching ways in which the subjects can be put to practical use. Most "Painless Series " titles take a light-hearted approach to their subjects, and all of them present fun-to-solve challenges with puzzles, games, and "Brain Tickler" problems. Although "Painless Series " titles are written primarily for middle school and high school students, older students and adults who need to refresh their skills will also find these books extremely helpful.
NEW BONUS FEATURE: Printed inside each new title is a code that gives kids FREE access to subject-related apps. They're arcade games themed to match each book's "Painless " subject. The apps can be downloaded on any iPhone, iTouch, iPad, or Android device.
