In this section, we will learn about the background and research behind Fraction Face Off (FFO), provide an overview of the knowledge and skills in our FFO lessons, and discuss some of the fundamentals of fractions. FFO focuses strategically on evidence-based practices for students who are struggling in mathematics. The overall aim of the program is to support students in their efforts to be able to fluently perform these five skills: understanding the magnitude of fractions, comparing two fractions, ordering 3 fractions, placing fractions on a number line, adding and subtracting fractions with unlike denominators at a foundational level. Then, we will take a guided tour through the FFO Manual and discuss how to use the materials. Finally, in Part Three, we will take a detailed look at FFO lesson design, individual activities in FFO, and how these lessons are implemented daily. This section will take approximately 45 minutes to complete.
