This is a review video meant for Year 9 students. We go over arithmetic with fractions, making sure you know all the basic operations and what they mean geometrically. For us, fractions correspond to positions on a number line, and the arithmetical operations of addition, multiplication, subtraction and division can all be interpreted in this context.

it is very important for Year 9 students to have a good working knowledge of this material. Make sure you do the exercises, to test your understanding!
