Trainer Favorite: Ruler Activity
This activity allows students to work with fractions in a practical way. The learning here is appropriate for building GED skills without overwhelming students with drills on fictional fractions that they will never see in the real world. In fact, computing fractions rarely appears on the GED, but working with them in practical ways, such as comparing relative sizes, calculating proportions, or understanding decimals and percentages are GED-oriented uses of fractions.
